Ernie Davis In The Film Express

In Remember the Titans we witness Coach Boone fighting for civil rights, signifying the image of an outsider integrating into a foreign white team as their coach. Director Boaz Yakin, uses techniques to strengthen Coach Boone’s character where the initial hate and disrespect towards him succours the development of a meaningful arc. The disrespect and aggression is employed when a brick is thrown through his house window, threatening him with the derogatory coloured comments calling him “Coach Coon”. The pressure of quitting was not felt and heroically he encompasses the journey with Yakin emphasising Boones evocative discipline and determination forcing integration amongst the segregated football team. This technique is employed when we witness Coach Boone stepping up, pushing equality for the players in a determined strike to stop racial abuse for good. His actions initiate the forced building of friendship and acceptance when he forces both races to get to know and accept each other at the camp. Yakin heightens the themes of overcoming racism when Boone rallies the troops together to support their team mate during a sad time. Instinctively, the implicit segregation is evoked further bringing unity to the team, Coach Boone emerges as a ‘hero’ to both the coloured and white community.

In spite of the team and coaches setting the goal, Boobie’s injury while playing against Midland, sidelines him for the rest of the season. It is at this junction in the movie that we the injury of one player affecting the entire team, which leads to the break-down of the whole community. Change is seen within the team’s attitudes and new ways to play without their star running back. In addition, the desire to win changes the coaching

Remember The Titans is a great football movie, and an even better civil rights movie. The movie shows how TC Williams handled desegregation and how the football team brought the community together. When the white players and black players came together for the first time, they did not get along. Coach Herman Boone took the team to a camp, and the players started to get along. When the players went back to school, they experienced the racism all over again. Eventually, the team helped the school and community get over the desegregation.

Larry Doby was the second African American player in the mlb and the first in the American League. Doby was signed, “with the Cleveland Indians in 1947” (Editors), the same year as Jackie Robinson. Like Robinson, “Doby was excluded from many segregated hotels and restaurants frequented by teammates, received numerous death threats” (Editors). Doby faced the same circumstances as Jackie Robinson, but Robinson already had so much publicity that Doby was mostly overlooked at the time.

Even though celebrities do not personally know all of their admirers, they can serve as an inspiration for many of their followers. For some, the connection with a star may be forged at a very young age; that was the case with me. Since I can remember, I have looked up to Ernie Banks. The success story of Ernie Banks, which resulted in him going down in history as one of the best to ever play the game of baseball, was improbable. However, his impressive accomplishments on the field are not what inspire me.

Boone and his family face horrible experiences when moving to Alexandria. When moving to the neighborhood, many neighbors were so upset but many were also happy that he didn’t back down. He was offered the head coach position but turned it down because he felt it would be incredibly disrespectful to Coach Yoast. Boone & Yoast agreed to make the relationship work. The African American students meet with Coach Boone in the gym, the meeting turns into a disaster when Coach Yoast and the white students arrive and disturb the meeting. Gerry Bertier was one of the students among the crowd of white students to interrupt. “I’m Gerry Bertier. I’m the only All-America you got on this team. If you want us to play for you, you reserve over half the positions …we don’t need any of your people on defense we’re already set.” said by Gary Bertier to Coach Boone. Boone makes it clear that all players will be on the team regardless of the color of their skin.

Jimmy Cross in The Things They Carried grows very much over the course of the book after he is introduced. At least, one would hope, especially after what happens in the short chapter that is in his point of view. Of course, it is expected that someone who has gone through a war has to change from the time they are placed in the war to the very end -- that is, if they make it out alive -- but Jimmy, as more than half of the men drafted into the Korean and Vietnam wars were, was only so young when he set foot in Vietnam and had to grow up and take charge to become the leader of a group of other young men who were just an inexperienced as he was. That would be very grueling and lifechanging for someone who is not only risking their life for

In the film As Good as It Gets, Jack Nicholson plays the role of Melvin Udall, a successful writer, who is arrogant, rude and is diagnosed Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Throughout the film, he engages in repetitive behavior, such as hand washing, checking, repeating, and counting which he uses to neutralize his obsessive thoughts. The film represents the psychopathology of obsessive-compulsive disorder accurately, displaying Melvin’s struggle with his fear of contamination, obsession with being clean, having everything organized and his fear of doubt. However, the film does not focus on the form of treatment that helps Melvin with his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Many coaches may watch this movie and think that Herb Brooks is crazy with all of his coaching methods. This is exactly what I though, but them I realized that he did have a method to his madness. He knew how to motivate his team and help them be great. To do this he used a few different techniques.
