Different forms of media such as movies are sometimes used to send messages out to people. Although watching movies may be entertaining, there is much more to them than fighting scenes and fairytale endings. Movies have themes and messages that the makers of the movie wish to address to its audience, and there are specific movies that do this fairly well. Movies such as "Remember the Titans" have morals that may change the perspectives of their audiences towards life. Remember the Titans was set in the 1970's in Virginia, which at that time, Virginia itself and the entire United States were still suffering from racial segregation. The movie revolves around an American high school football team consisting of both black and white players. These players joined forces together and integrated their talents to form "the Titans." Being in 1970 and in Virginia, the black and whites on the team did not get along. The two races fought constantly on a daily basis, which affected their performance on the field. Coach Boone, the head coach of the team, notices this problem and explained to his players what a team really is. The team listened to what their coach told them and they later became the unifying symbol for the community as the boys and the adults who learned to depend on and trust each other.
Teamwork is one of the many main themes and messages that the movie wanted to address to its audience. In the movie, the team performed poorly because of their differences in color. But in the later parts of the story line, the movie was able to show how the players of the team were able to set aside their differences in order to achieve one common goal which was to win. Working for a common goal will lead you to success. When you put aside pre-conceived arguments, work as a team, and have the right people, you can accomplish a lot. A line in the bible, which states that "A house divided against itself can't stand.
