Remember the Titans (2000) | *First Time Watching* | Movie Reaction | Asia and BJ 

That "Left side! Strong side!" scene always gets me misty-eyed.

Shout out to T.C. Williams High School class of '07. The last of the classes to graduate from the old building. *Titans for life*

I love how Asia kept trying to figure out who Ryan Gosling was. 😂 People are always surprised when they see him in this. lol

In the actual title game in the real life story, T.C. Williams held the opposing QB to negative-5 yards of total offense en route to a 27-0 anticlimax and a state championship victory. The Titans finished their season ranked 2nd in the country.

“Before we reach for hate, we ALWAYS remember The Titans” 😢😊❤ I love it. Every.Single.Time. 😊So glad you all enjoyed one of the best movies ever made!!! ❤

46:35 This was when Disney was making AMAZING films. I miss films like this. I genuinely raised myself, and in doing that I have NEVER understood how anyone could hate any other person based on the color of their skin. To me it just seems like a pathetic excuse to be an angry human being. I just believe the positivity that you put into the universe will come back to you tenfold. Sending the two of you good vibes and love ❤️

"That one boy" is RYAN GOSLING lol Possibly one of the most famous actors of the past 5 years also ;)

This is the greatest football movie ever made hands down. The way Denzel coached them boys like the military. They went from boys to men 💯

The school scenes were filmed at my old high school (Druid Hills) here in Atlanta. Watching Asia trying to recognize "Alan", famously known as Ryan Gosling, is funny!

Yes!! Asia the guy you asked if you’ve seen him before, that was a young Ryan Gosling!! You saw him in the movie The Notebook and he’s Ken in the Barbie movie!!!

I was 16 years old in 1971, and even though I didn't live in the south, I remember how people had these kinds of attitudes and how they acted on them back then. I have gotten to see change come, but it is still not complete. I am SO GLAD to see young people like you get a chance to see movies about how it was and what it took to move forward from where we were, because today I see people, for political reasons, trying really hard to break us apart again and trying to keep us even farther apart than we were. Keep up the good work Asia and BJ. We are ALL Americans and we need to see each other just like that.

God. The way Denzel can just carry a movie. Really everyone was fantastic in this movie.

A classic movie that holds a special place in my heart because I knew all the real people the movie depicts. I was a senior at T.C. when those events happened. Some old-timers don’t like the movie because it takes great liberties with the facts, but most of us love it because it is great drama with an important lesson. Julius died just a year or two ago after spending many years traveling around the country, giving inspirational talks on race relations. Some truths and untruths: Alexandria was not a southern hick town but a cosmopolitan, metropolitan suburb of 110,000. T.C. had been integrated since 1965 and at the time of the events (1971) was 30% Black. Hammond (Yoast’s school) had just two Black students because it was in the rich end of town, and G.W., in the poor end, was 60% Black. Race was not the main issue at T.C.; school rivalry was the issue, due to the merging of the three schools. Boone was not new to the school. He had been assistant coach at T.C. for two years preceding the events, and he was my P.E. teacher in his first year, when I was a sophomore. I liked Boone a lot and had a good relationship with him even though I was not a football player (I was varsity cross-country and track). As most people know, Bertier’s first car accident was not as shown. It actually occurred in the post season, but the movie changed it for dramatic purposes. T.C.’s hardest game was not in the State Championship, but in the regular season, 21-16 versus Marshall. T.C. had 9 shutouts in 13 games. I saw all the regular season games. Oddly, the team’s best star was not in the movie; he was a running back who led the state in yards and touchdowns. Yoast was one of the best coaches in the state at the time, and there was widespread resentment over Boone’s selection as head coach. It is true that the training camp at Gettysburg transformed the team, and students were marveling over it when they came back. Boone was a hard-driving coach as depicted, but he had a great heart for the game and for his athletes. Singing among the Black athletes (including some basketball players) was a longtime tradition at T.C, usually done in the locker room. The players were allowed to wear their jerseys in school at any time, and they actually acted as a calming influence as depicted briefly in the film. I witnessed an incident where a player used moral suasion and school spirit to stop a fight that was starting. My favorite true thing in the movie is an event I witnessed: Ron Bass’s arrival. It actually occurred at T.C. in the first week after training camp. I was with the cross-country team, warming up at the end of the track straightaway. At the other end, a fancy car drove up the ramp from the parking lot and onto the track. Everyone was amazed; cars weren’t supposed to do that. Ron (with very long hair) and a military officer in uniform (his father) got out of the car and talked to Boone, who had stopped practice and came over to them to see what was going on. Later we learned that he was a hippie quarterback from California. He was terrific, both a fine passer and a great runner. It always kept our opponents guessing. Bertier was a great success in the wheelchair Olympics in the shot put and discus throw. My brother met him in the gym in those later years and they played ping pong. Bertier won, because he was excellent my brother says.

One of the greatest sports movies ever made! It's such a beautiful bittersweet story. I'm so happy y'all watched this. It's so great!

I was waiting for it!!! Humble brag, I’m an extra in this movie. Was shot at both my high schools (schools merged 10th grade). I played football so we were recruited as extras on opposing teams

This movie was fantastic. A young Denzel was deserving of an Oscar. This movie as a hole should have received many awards.

As shane gillis said "this was during a high school football season, that's 8 weeks and they were all brothers by the end is how powerful football is"

The only two named actors who were actually teenagers when this was filmed were Ryan Gosling and Kate Bosworth. All of the rest of the main players were at least 20 and if fact the guy who plays Julius Campbell was 31 and the one who played Garry Bertier was 25. In the scene where Denzel Washington picks a player up by the seat of his pants, that is Ryan Gosling.

One of the best movies I have ever watched. I'm a 41 year old man and I cry every damn time I watch it even after seeing it so many times I know it word for word.

Great reaction. Great movie. I graduated from T.C. in 98, and during my time there, Coach Boone was my drivers Ed teacher, and Petey was a hall monitor. Love my hometown school. Once a Titan, always a Titan.

Flipping the banana to the coach was hilarious and poetic justice

One of the greatest sports movies of all time. That blonde boy (not sunshine but the other guy) was a young Ryan gosling. Great reaction as always!❤

this is one of those once in a lifetime movies, really hard to top this one, the pacing, the story, the talent. man so good.

I will say, I am a white man who grew up in the suburbs of Sacramento, CA. Everyone was there and we got along just fine. I never saw people in color, I always see people for their character, who they are and what we all bring to each other.

Alexandria Va. is right across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. I was raised in Maryland just south of D.C. and also across the river. I was 11 at the time in 1971. And I remember the Titans always on channel 4 news. We went across the river to a couple of home games. What is not shown was the huge crowds they had. Many people came across the Bridge from Maryland and D.C. to cheer on The Titans and support Virginia's new anti-segregation in schools policy.

Coaches were a different breed in the past. My husband played soccer in our high school in western Pennsylvania. There was no such thing as a tie game in the 80’s. He once played a game with 11 overtime’s. He literally passed out cold in the last overtime before they did call the game because it was so dark. It was for the championships and for the first time two teams were awarded 1st place. His coach was old school. My husband broke his nose during a game. His coach set his nose and asked one of the female classmates in the audience for a tampon. He jammed it up his nose and put him right back in the game. The craziest story I ever heard is the team was traveling home from an away game and they were in two vans. The kids in the assistant coach’s van encouraged him to drive by the coach’s van and back then they called it “pressed ham” to the kids in the coach’s bus. The coach, nicknamed Hitler worked as security at the local horse track in town. It was 11:00PM all of the parents were waiting back at the high school to pickup their kids, but that didn’t stop his coach. He stuck his hand out of the window and signaled the van to “follow him!” He got into the race track even though it was late. He drove right onto the track and told the guilty boys (including my husband) and lined them up. He said “you think that’s funny? I’ll show you funny! Strip naked and take a lap” they all got naked and ran repeatedly around the track through horse sh*t. My husband says he’ll never forget one well endowed friend who he could literally hear him run in the darkness. After they finally got back to the high school and parents heard of the stop over at the track…no one said a word. My husband’s Dad who was the nicest man told him “you should have known better, son.” Could you imagine that today??? Things have improved in some sense and yet that coach never had a losing season as long as my husband played for him. We didn’t have the talent of other teams necessarily, but could out run and last longer than any other surrounding team. There is something to be said for the discipline instilled in kids. My husband got a full ride to play for Pitt. So, it ultimately was a financial gift. Crazy!!! Personally, I would have NEVER succeeded under that coaching style.

when Asia clocked a young Ryan Gosling, I was dying😂😂

"that's my brother" Hit so hard in the theater. Especially since I saw it with the racially diverse football team my dad coached.

The attitude reflects leadership line hits every time and I've seen this movie at least 50 times.

That "Who's your daddy?" conversation get a whole lot more real once you realize Gerry's dad is dead.

Love This Movie!! Great Story! Great Acting!! Great Soundtrack!!!!🏈🎼💕

Incredible film and timeless film, it never gets old.. one of the best sports films and it's obviously more than just a sports film..

This is my son's favorite sports movie. It is so good. It also opened up his eyes to what the world is like outside of where we live. It also allowed us to have conversations about how if you put other people ahead of yourself and treat everyone equal the world is a much better place. And most important that loving one another like the Lord taught us is more powerful and more important than anything else.

One of the best head coaches I've ever worked for (17 state champs) would throw up before every game. He always drank a strawberry milk shake before games because it was the best going both directions.

Little Girl is Hayden Panttiere

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I was sitting here getting weepy eyed right along with Asia! LOL

I lived down the street from the original high school back in 2007. Still so crazy to think back on that time to see how messy and scary things were and how inspirational these people were.

One of those movies I can enjoy anytime. That last play always gets me.

The kid yelling fight at the beginning is Ryan Gosling

You Guys I am a Gold medalist and THE BEST Sports movie is MIRACLE - the true story of the 1980 Men’s Olympic Hockey Team!! Please take my word for it this movie will have you on the edge of your seat with excitement, your eyes will swell up with happy tears, it will inspire you and make you so Proud to be an American 🇺🇸!

This has been one of my top 10 favorite movies for the past 20 years.

That's Ryan Gosling who looks familiar to you Ms Asia.

You guy's definitely need to watch, "Rudy"," and "Cinderella Man!" two great ones! Great reactions!

This is a very emotional movie for me, reminds me of the days we used to watch it with my dad. Now he's in heaven, thank you for the reaction guys❤

Im so glad yall watched this one. An instant classic that is still relevant today and just pulls at your heartstrings!

This one of my favorite movies showing we all can come together as one. Tonight is the night they always remember the night they played the Titans. And Asia, this movie always tears me up

I`ve always been proud of this movie mainly due to the fact that my hometown high school is in Virginia also and it has a legendary football team as well...I`m still waiting for them to do a movie about our team...Maybe one day...This is an awesome movie.

Great reaction! 👏👏👏 "Attitude reflects leadership" - one of my favorite lines to quote (especially at work)

I always love how the last play ends with one quarterback blocking for the other quarterback

A young Ryan Gosling and a young Hayden Panettiere!! Aloha from Hawaii!!!

The young hard head captain in the beginning with all the mouth and attitude also played Opie in Sons of Anarchy. He was Jackson's best buddy. Just give him a beard and long hair. His dad used to be on the show The Dukes of Hazzard, he was Boss Hogg's cousin.

Another great sport's movie. Thank asia and bj. Another great football 🏈 movie is invincible , that film is also based on a true story.

blonde guy that Asia know from somewhere is Ryan Gosling ..

One of my favourites growing up, coach Carter is also good. Great reaction!

That guy that said fight was Ryan Gosling in his younger years.

One of my all time favorite movies! Boy, this should be a mandatory movie in school!

Invincible, Rudy, We Are Marshall, Cinderella Man, The Rookie, The Express, Friday Night Lights, Hoosiers .... yall got plenty more sports movies to choose from

This movie is a testament to the ideology that we are all human beings, start with respect and then continue with love and understanding. It is, indeed, a great film. Great reaction, you guys are the BEST!

This movie was a big hit for many up and coming young actors. Check out who all the actors are. You know them from today just all grown up.

Ngl I’m so glad to see in comments that this was a reupload😂😂😂 I KNEW I WATCHED THIS YESTERDAY lmao. Uploaded 54 minutes ago had me trippin trippin 🤯🤯🤒🫣

An absolute classic we used to watch before every high school football game🇺🇸

Will Patton who plays the assistant coach I believe is a very underrated actor he is Sublime

Always nice for a history lesson about the past. Wasn't so long ago.

This has always been one of my family's favorite movies! Brings me to tears, every time lol.

I was born the year this movie was released and this still was THE movie for health/PE teachers or other coach teachers to put on when they need a movie day.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. If I ever see it on, I always end up sitting down to watch the entire film. Excellent cast, the best music, and the lesson (hopefully) learned one of the most important ever. The story is told well.

Yay!! So glad this was re-uploaded so we can get the full reaction!! I love you two and can't wait to see the end. Blessings!

I loved this movie!!! Denzel!!! He's such a great actor. He should have won an Oscar for his performance.

I love this movie, I've seen it so many times. The big southern boy is my favorite character. He bridges the gap between races by simply not giving a damn and making people laugh.

That guy that looks familiar is Ryan Gosling. Super famous now. He was in the Big Short that y'all saw recently.

That’s mega movie star Ryan Gosling Asia, the guy you said looked so familiar to you. Ryan showing off his dance moves, too. He’s got rhythm. 😂

This is in my top 5 all time favorite movies. I love the whole thing but it doesn’t hurt that Ryan Gosling is in it.

One of many history (true story) movies I LOVE!!! history should teach us how to move forward and always remember what our ancestors (tupuna) had sacrificed for us all... no matter what color, what ethnicity or religion ... move forward... thank you both for reacting to this movie ... A1 in my books

That's Ryan Gosling y'all kept saying looked familiar

Not sure if you noticed, because I’m still watching the video, but that blonde guy you thought looked familiar is Ryan Gosling. He’s just Ken - from Barbie. Among many other things!

This was my favorite movie

this movie just had so much relatable intelligence, and even though they didnt win, the movie was a victory. i wish disney still made movies like THIS

I just wanna say i love reaction channels in general but I've struggled to find good movie react channels. I love your guys videos so much.

Did you ever figure out that that familiar face was Ryan Gosling? 😂

That's the exact coach I want to play for. He pushes you, teaches you, makes you question yourself, what you think , and why. Coaches aren't supposed to be friends. Unfortunately coaches like this are looked down upon these days.

Louie lastik Ethan Suplee has lost a lot of weight and is a total badass now !!!!! Please watch Lean on me with Morgan Freeman, and Shawshank Redeemption With Morgan Freeman one of the best movies ever made

This film has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time 😭 Trevor Rabin is awesome

The soundtrack for this movie is great.

This is one of my favorite movies! Since it’s SuperBowl season, maybe do ANOTHER OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL movie - ‘Radio’ with Cuba Gooding Jr. also a true story, also about acceptance & the resulting relationship - but in a slightly different way. Keep the tissues close by for that one too Asia 😂

This is the first time I’ve seen your channel. Loved it all. You guys give a great reaction. Love how you just absorbed what was coming and let the story play out.

Throughout the movie, you watch Yoast make tough decisions and every time he has to, he thinks about his daughter and you can see how she falls in line with him with whatever choices he makes. She supports and respects her daddy more than anyone.

That is Ryan Gosling

This film should be required watching for all gradeschool kid of all makes!! When we stop talking about racism, there will be NO MORE RACISM!!!

Another old great Disney movie is Miracle the story about the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team

I love the Titans. The Replacements with Keanu Reeves is a Must Watch as well. It's also a football movie and based on a true story. It's emotional and fun. ❤

You betta sing 🎵 ain’t no mountain🎵 That Forrest Gump reference was hilarious “can’t sit here”

Hey guys, Denzel Washington is such a great actor, he really gets into his roles, much like Johnny Depp. He will do his homework on how to do something whether it being he has to learn for the role. Nice reaction. He can play both the good guy and bad guy really well. Yes, this is Disney with Denzel lol. Hey Ryan Gosling, Kate Bosworth, and Hayden Panettiere.

The bringing in of the girls talking sports helping prove that it doesn't matter what age or skin color...you have to love it or hate it.

I love this movie it is f****** awesome when a movie can put Tears In Your Eyes you know it's good I'm 44-year-old white man and I will admit it

Gary was in Sons of Anatchy, and Pete was in Scrubs. Good careers, but Ryan Gosling became the biggest star of all those kids. And that fanatic daughter is Hayden Panetierre from the tv shows Heroes and Nashville.

I've gotta keep mentioning my two of my favorite sports movies, The Replacements (Keanu Reeves) and Rudy (Sean Astin).

13:54 I cannot fathom the world that awaited me back home from any one of these families if I quit because it got hard in the 70’s. Some might have been ok, but I can also see a switch/branch and/or hard labor.

The Gettysburg scene is amazing

I think Coach Yost's daughter in the movie married one of the boxing Heavyweight champion Klitschko brothers...

Forgot how powerful this movie was. Amazing
