"Remember the Titans" has always been one of my favorite movies of all time. I am a very passionate football fan, so this movie is very dear to me. This movie was the perfect blend of drama, comedy and football for me and my family, whenever the movie is on, we sit down and watch it together. But I also wanted to know the true story, like any movie or Disney production I wanted to see if it was actually a happy ending. In the end, I found out some facts were twisted but not many.
So I started my search with Gerry Bertier because I knew he was a huge part of them teams success, and I wanted to know if he did win 2 gold medals in the wheelchair Olympics, and if he wasn't able to play in the championship game. In the movie, he was injured before the championship game and couldn't play, but he was injured after the game, on his way home from an award ceremony after winning the championship game.
I then wanted to know about the relationship between Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell, I have a twin sister. We are very close and our favorite line in the movie is "Attitude reflects Leadership" and "Left side, Strong side" we play for a travel softball team and before we go onto the field we say "Strong side, Left side"
Then I went and tried to find newspaper articles on the perfect season for the Titans. I was very interested in what the boys had to say about the situations they were in, at school, at the beginning camp, and the beginning of school. About how what was true and what wasn't.
This is my first time doing a website and I did enjoy it because I can put pictures and video's and still have a big word count to wear I don't have to cram everything in and leave out details.
I used noodle tools to site my sources and Weebly to make my website, i enjoyed doing this project and hope I can do something like this again.
