I loved Teen Titans. I have very fond memories of spending hot summer days watching the show on Cartoon Network and then hopping on the computer to play a Mortal Kombat style beat-em-up, starring the heroes and villains of the show, on cartoonnetwork.com. Then, in 2007, after airing for four years, the show finally came to an end. I wanted more, but I was happy with what we got and I always had the option of catching reruns. Six years later, in 2013, we got the unnecessary reboot Teen Titans Go! which is now almost 200 episodes deep. The show is basically the opposite of the original Teen Titans in every-way. Where the original show was an anime styled action cartoon, the reboot has a style that I can only describe as "unoffensive" and one …show more content…
is pretty straight forward. A group of teenagers who are in some way shape or form related to the members of the Justice League are tasked with solving smaller crimes, while the Justice League is busy saving the universe and whatnot. Occasionally, there are plots that grow far larger in scope than a simple warehouse break in, and the members of the Justice League step in, to aid the next generation of heroes, to save the day. But for the most part, the group stays in the vicinity of their "T" tower and their villainous rival team does the same. (It seems even superheroes have …show more content…
By the end of my "research period", in some stockholm syndrome-esque way, I actually grew fond of Teen Titans Go!. (Something I did not notice until my roommates pointed it out to me one morning.) Also I want to make it clear that I'm not blaming the creators of the show entirely, because you can definitely get an idea that they are working under harsh time tables to pump out episodes. This didn't even cross my mind as a reason until one episode aptly named "The Forth Wall" in which the Titans break the forth wall to talk about how there could be better episodes and animation if they weren't working on tight schedules and budgets. And occasionally a bit of brilliance shines through and we get something like The Night Begins to Shine. (click the name to watch it) The episode does not only feature a cool song, it is also accompanied by one of the most bad ass depictions the Titans since the original show. The cyberpunk meets Mad Max style is just super interesting and I would love to see more episodes in that aesthetic and

I immediately had my reservations upon discovering that this was an ongoing television series, as that indicates that this would be drawn out and dramatized beyond what is necessary to serve entertainment

Remember The Titans was a movie that was set in a very hostile time in our country. We were in the middle of what I like to call a civil war. Although there were no battles or gunfights our country was torn in half. There was an issue dealing with race in the United States. The movie, Remember the Titans is based on actual events that occurred in the year 1971. Mainly on the integration of a school called TC Williams High School. When the school was integrated the old football coach, Coach Yoast, was let go and a black coach Herman Boone was hired on. The main plot of this movie is regarding the coaching change in the school and the 1971 football season the TC Williams Titans have.
Remember the Titans takes us on a emotional roller coaster that will seize ourhearts. The characters capture the audience in this magical motion picture by respecting each other for who they are. As we watch, we see all of the actors put all of their emotion into a movie that we can see is meaningful to them. Keeping in mind that this movie is based on a true story, we look to the cast to make a connection to us. Denzel Washington does a tremendous job of this by always staying in character. So yes i would recommend you to watch this movie, this movie can really change a person if they let it. When we see this moving film don’t only see a screen but we see actors that really care and portray a film that also has meaning to them. (IMDB, 2000)
Remember the Titans is a film based on the true story of Coach Herman Boone, who tries to integrate a racially divided team. Throughout training camp and the season, Boone and Yoast 's black and white players learn to accept each other, to work together, and that football knows no race. As they learn from each other, Boone and Yoast also learn from them and in turn, the whole town learns from the team, the Titans. Thus, they are prepared to pursue the State Championship and to deal with and some adversity that threatens to effect their season.
At the start of Remember the Titans directed by Boaz Yakin, all schools are segregated and there are no integrated teams in Virginia, until the school board for the new T.C Willams High School forced integration, with black and white players being put together and forced to work together. The main changing relationships are between Gerry and Julius, Coach Boone and Coach Yoast and Gerry and Ray. I think these relationships are mainly developing because they are learning about each other and bonding as teammates.
Remember the Titans is a movie that depicts what life was like back in the time of segregation. It accurately showed what life was like as a black student and a black athlete during the time of the civil rights movement. While it showed the struggles of getting along and respecting one another, it also showed the brotherhood of the team and what it looks like to be integrated instead of separated. The movie may have not be totally accurate with what actually happened to the school, but did a good job at showing how the development of the relationship between whites and blacks. The movie was very
A 2000 film, Remember the Titans, is based on a true story. This movie portrays an African American Coach Herman Boone played by Denzel Washington and a successful Caucasian high school coach Bill Yoast played by Will Patton. This movie takes place during period when schools in Virginia were segregated. It wasn’t until the early 70’s when a federal mandate came into play requiring that two schools in Alexandria, Virginia integrate its students. As a part of this change, the Alexandria school board had also decided to hire on an African American football coach, Herman Boone.
In 1971 Coach Herman Boone replaced a popular, successful white coach at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, in that community's effort to finally integrate its schools. The school and community were angrily divided by the federal integration order, and the volatility of the situation was heightened by the abrupt demotion of Coach Yoast and Boone's promotion to Head Coach. In this movie Coach Boone is on a mission to try to get the white and black players to unite and play together as a team. He wanted the two races to become a team. Around that time, there was a lot of racism and a lot of schools were segregated, so the players obviously didn't get along with each other at first. A lot changed when Boone replaced Yoast for the head-coaching job for the Titans. The city had a hard time accepting the fact that the Titans now had a Black man as head coach. Coach Yoast agreed to be assistant coach and convince the white players to play with the black players. Now it was time for them to go to camp to see what they were really made of.
Remember the Titans is a film from 2000 displaying a true story of a racially divided football team from the 1970s. The movie highlights the relationships of the black and white people, and how they learned to interact with each other in a time when this was not the way of life. It brings up a number of questions throughout, of what is right and what is wrong, and really challenges the characters, making it a very interesting movie to watch. I have seen this movie many times, and each time I feel like I get something new out of it. It is a movie that can be used as a teaching tool, it does a great job of interpreting not only what was happening in the United States of America at that time, but social psychology concepts through real life situations.
In the movie "Remember the Titans" by "Boaz Yakin" the character Herman Boone, played by "Denzel Washington", is faced by a difficult challenge that is significantly important to the movie. Boone in a sense faces a challenge of acceptance in which, by the end of the movie, he has experienced in two noticeable ways. Boone faces the challenge of being accepted by the community, revealing to us that he wants the community working together rather than judging and persecuting one another. Additionally Boone fights for the acceptance and respect of his team, The Titans, proving to them that they can indeed "make this race thing work".

Some of the teens are pressured into joining a mob if their association will add to the mob’s criminal actions. Some of them get connected in order to threaten other people in the society who are not engaged in gang operations (Klein & Maxson, 2006).
