Facing the Giants

There are not many scenes that don’t contain some form of dialogue. To me the dialogue seemed to be appropriate to the times the film was portraying, although there were some cuss words used and I do not know if they were in practice at the time. I know that at one point in the movie the f word is used and also there were multiple uses of s**t. I am not sure if these were used in this time period.

This movie Directed by Paul Haggis who also directed Academy Award Winning "Million Dollar Baby" and had also won an Academy Award for this movie as well puts a twisted story in this film. This movie is trying to symbolize what goes on in the world today in regards to racism and stereotypes. He tries to make a point on how societies view themselves and others in the world based on there ethnicities. This movie intertwines several different people's lives, all different races, with different types of beliefs. Such ethnicities include Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Middle Eastern. This movie includes conflicts on both sides of the picture from cops and criminals as well

In conclusion, Remember the Titans was a very powerful movie. It was very enjoyable to watch, and is personally one of my favorite movies. Remember the Titans shows how a football team helps their community overcome the integration of blacks into TC Williams High School. I would highly recommend this movie to anybody, even if they didn't like

It's about a high football team that doesn’t have enough money to play because of budget cuts. Jamal and his friends are torn. But there is a president of a sporting-good company that donates 20,000 dollars worth of equipment. But there is a cut. The only he will do that is he becomes the head coach.

From my perspective it’s the judgement of homosexuality that is portrayed in the movie. Riddled throughout the movie is drugs, other deities and violence. Even the main character Che is an alcoholic bully who’s been to prison. How they wrap their heads around these

In brief, this film is about two schools in Alexandria Virginia that integrated in the early 1970s to form T.C. Williams High School. The white head coach of the Titans (Coach Bill Yoast) is replaced by an African American coach from North Carolina (Coach Herman Boone). Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Many of these tensions are eased during the two-week training camp in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. When players returned to Alexandria the players found the city in turmoil due to the forced desegregation of the high school. As the season progresses the team's success caused the community to accept the changes. After the Titans' perfect season, the team and the city were closer than ever.

What role does religion play in the film? Describe the use of different religious symbols, elements or terms.

You never really forget underdog stories. I still remember when the New York Giants went into super bowl XLII as under dogs to the 16-0 New England Patriots. The New York Giants where 12 point under dogs but, they came out victorious because they had more fight and determination to win. That win was one of the biggest upsets in sports history. The same can be said about Redwood City’s team. They knew they weren’t the best team out there but they knew they the will and attitude to win. The Redwood City team did what no other team did and that was playing defense before the ball was put into play. They defend the whole court unlike most teams that only defend half the court. Lawrence of Arabia was another example of going the extra mile. He went

Odell an 25 year old wide receiver which plays for the New York Giants. He wears #13 and is a Pro at what he does.He is getting warmed up for his first game back from preseason. Odell does passing routes, stretches, and talking to other players ,coaches, and coaching staff.Odell went for the pass, complete the pass, went down to the ground , and was hurt. Odell got up looked at the people his fans and waved goodbye, for a show of gratitude. He tried to get up, but he was severely hurt and was disappointed in himself because he just got back on a field because of a preseason game with injury. He got escorted off the field in a wagon/cart crying hard because of the pain. He went to the doctor and was still in pain, the doctor said it was

Although some special effects are limited, overall they did not distract too greatly from the message of the movie. I would encourage my family and friends to watch this film, simply because it is filled with themes of truth that often are ignored in modern society. It does not leave one dreading death and the ensueing aftermath, but rather gives a perspective resounding with the Catholic's faith central message of hope without being “preachy”. Self-sacrifice and forgiveness are displayed as necessary and fruitful virtues for the human condition. Ultimately, the movie left me excited for heaven, but not a shallow heaven full of earthly comforts, but one where I will know and be known purely and wholly by God and

As Hope and her family fought cancer, their faith in God kept them grounded. Stuart and Shelby, Hope’s parents, would often ask God for signs that he was watching over her. Some of God’s signs were miraculous to say the least. When Stuart was in the mountains, he saw a huge billboard that read, “Hope Thou in God.” Additionally, when Shelby went to pray in the chapel at the hospital a stained glass window titled “The Hope Window” featured a picture of a young girl on crutches with God’s hands placed on her shoulder as he was healing her. God was certainly watching out for the Stout family.

The movie seems to focus a lot on the relationship between Davis and coach Schwartzwalder. The football scenes in the movie are well done and the camaraderie which develops between the players really works. Overall, this is a heartwarming story which also shows a personal side of Davis. You see his gutsy determination to continue on when faced with a terrible disease. It is a feel good movie, but also a sad one, as Davis is unable to play even one game in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns. If Ernie Davis was as kind, hard working, and optimistic as this movie portrayed him to be, he deserved all the accolades he received, and then some. This movie was rated PG and has a running time of two hours and nine minutes. It is a good family movie, which sends a good message, especially for a movie

I thought that the footage of white colonists was the most disturbing part of this film, in particular the two missionaries who settled in Tanzania in order to start the religious culture of Christianity in the community. The couple uses Christianity as an excuse to think the natives are barbaric or unholy for practicing polygamy, even though the bible does not actually support monogamy. This example displays Fanon’s ideas that the colonizer “does not call the natives to God’s ways but to the ways of the white man.” (Fanon, 41)

Jesus of Nazareth was a beautiful movie recapping the life of Jesus Christ. This film had no bareness, no vulgarity, and no sex scenes. It was ideal for both the young and the older audiences. I do not recall anything that may have gone against the word of God. Jesus of Nazareth embellished the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It remained true to the four New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
