Amerika im Juli 1971. Die Einwohner der Kleinstadt Alexandria gehen auf die Barrikaden. Denn das Kultusministerium hat verordnet, dass an der High School erstmals Schüler beider Hautfarben gemeinsam unterrichtet werden sollen. In diese Unruhen gerät der Farbige Herman Boone, der den Weißen Bill Yoast als Football-Coach ersetzen soll. Dieser ist zunächst wie vor den Kopf gestoßen, lässt sich aber dann als Co-Trainer engagieren. Ein Gespann so ungleich wie die Mannschaft, der Rassentrennung wichtiger zu sein scheint als das Spiel... (Verleiher-Text)

I know that even at the turn of the millennium, racism was a topic, it will probably always be a topic. However, I still feel that Americans in around 2000 managed to put it in films in a more clever, more humane form than how they butcher films today. Memories of Titans is about American football. The viewer would think that if this sport means nothing to him, then the film will mean nothing to him either. The opposite is true, which is interesting in itself. The creators have created a nice story of a club where racism was a topic and so it opened up to be resolved. At the end of the film, you cheer for everyone who appears on the screen and it doesn't matter at all that the film is full of pathos and American patriotism. Everything just somehow fit here and turned out very well.

This high school version of Any Given Sunday is not only about what is happening, but also about moral value. There are winks and reading between the lines, fewer muscles, fewer sharp elbows, less hi-tech, but more integrity, family, and traditional values.
