NEVER FORGET RYAN GOSLING WAS AN ABSOLUTE LIABILITY IN PASS COVERAGE

Petey was working at the school when I was a student there. He was humble, funny and just helped everyone. RIP Petey❤

I don't think Sunshine was gay. He was just getting back at that guy for calling him a fruitcake.

Gerry died in another car accident. When driving back from a business trip, a drunk driver came into his lane and hit him head on. The man was charged with driving under the influence and manslaughter.

virginia fun fact! the reason our slogan is “VA is for Lovers” is because of the case of Love vs Virginia, where an interracial couple wanted to get married but it was illegal and they won the case! their last name was Love which is an amazing cherry on top ❤️

Favourite Quote “You Blitz All Night So They Remember The Night They Played The Titans”

Jane- you didn’t steal anything. Coach Herman Boone taught so many not only how to unite a team, and a community but how to build a better future for a student WITH the student. He also had many in depth conversations with Denzel, that is how he brought this picture to life. Coach Boone would be proud of anyone that does what you do. As for the two of you, you let me know anyone that ever says anything about either of you or your girls. Love is love, it knows no color, no race, no distance and no bounds. I am proud to follow you, and anyone who is not can lick salt.

The speech by coach yost in the championship game still gives me chills

One of my top 10 movies of all time. So good. It just hits hard.

A Few Good Men is the "you can't handle the truth" movie

As a Walking Dead fan, you should know that Ryan Hurst, who played Bertier, was Beta from the Whisperers.

It's rare. Reactors. - A movie. When somehow the two together are more than just a reaction. Ya.... this was special. Thank you.

This classic movie 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 five years 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 after the 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. He played much more than was shown, and he 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 once in the gym in those later years, and they played ping pong. Bertier won, because he was excellent my brother says.

“It’s died down alot”…”We don’t go out much” 😂😂

Class of '07 *WE ARE THE TITANS*

I forgot how emotional that movie was and KZfaq recommended you guys, and I went through those tears again with you.😢 Thanks. I'm 62 years old and my junior high school starting busing the first year I joined. It was about 25% bussed in and handled fairly well, despite I'm sure they're upset they had to wake up earlier and couldn't walk to school. They had to be bussed away from some of their friends; fortunately, we didn't have much hatred in Missouri, Webster Groves (St. Louis)

Remember for ever the night they played the Titans Gives me chills everytime

THE WORLD needs to watch this movie!!

I played Defensive line from 3rd grade all the way into college. And before every game I watched Coach Yoasts speech he gave to the defense.

Great reaction you two! I've seen this movie countless times, and the hospital scene still gets me every time.

Loved watching this with you both. You have beautiful souls. Denzel is one of the all time greatest actors in my opinion.

28:50 if you or anyone else has done this for a child then you SHOULD feel special because these are the teachers that really make an impact on students lives and are real life heroes at the end of the day. There is no telling how many children’s futures have been impacted by teachers/coaches who care about their kids like this.

My dad worked with one of the guys who this movie was about. He was on the real team as an offensive lineman.

I just LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Reminds me of my 1 and only year of being a coach... I ended up coaching youth basketball for 1 season back in 1998 at only 17 years old ( Ended up with no time to keep going ) but anyways.. I coached 1 season.. went undefeated and won the Championship that season! The only tie in when it comes to Football... I coached a player that year by the name of Everson Griffen .. who ended up drafted to the NFL and played 10 seasons for the Vikings and then Played for the Cowboys. I was so proud of him!! Anyways... So yeah.. 1 season.. and just like coach Boone and the Titans... we went undefeated and won the championship... just wish I could have kept going!! Btw Jane.. Thank you for everything you do as a teacher and a coach... not enough respect for people like you! People like you matter in this world!! Your Awesome!!❤

Denzel Washington always gives a great performance. Great reaction! 👍🏿

I grew up in the 70's and my older brothers were in high school (in the mid-Hudson Valley area of NY) and there was always racial unrest in the fall..... It was called Octoberfest, by the time I got to high school, we did not have that big a problem in the early 80s.

I was gonna say there's probably a profound sadness and guilt and hope and determination that the Gettysburg scene brings out that might be hard to appreciate if you haven't had a childhood of history and literature classes and enculturation from a US school system... but then again, there's a lot of profound things about this movie I probably don't fully appreciate not being in an interracial couple :) Anyway that scene is always striking. I always wonder if he picked that training camp site for that reason.

Ethan Suplee, the bigger, heavy player, co-starred on “My Name is Earl” and, in recent years, he’s gotten real fit. Proud of him!

You recognized that Wood Harris, who played Julius, is the same actor who played Avon Barksdale on The Wire.

This movie is one of Denzel's best and often doesn't get the recognition of so many of his other films, but for those who have seen it, there's no doubt how great it is. And everyone here gave great performances and helped to elevate the film and made it all the more enjoyable. The best I can guess on why this film isn't talked about as much is maybe the race angle, but for me, that's why it is so great and should be mentioned discussed more often. It shows how far we have come, and how much further we still have to go, but at the end of the day, it shows how much more we all have in common, than things that we don't.

My high school football coach's dad coached at a school in Virginia that played TC Williams and he said TCW beat the hell out of everyone bc they had combined a 4A state champion team with a 2A state champion team when they integrated and never came close to losing a game. Hollywood dramatized it but it's still an amazing story of respect and brotherhood but they never came close to losing a game. Wonderful movie, love it

It's crazy looking at this cast and knowing what great films/series roles they were in from then to now like Ryan Hurst (Bertier) playing (Opie) in my favorite all time series Sons of Anarchy, Beta in The Walking Dead, Wood Harris (Big Ju) The Wire, Creed 1, 2 and 3, etc and etc cast members roles

If you guys love this HIGHLY suggest the movies “Radio” and “Rudy” - both UNBELIEVABLE football movies both based on true stories. ❤loved your reactions!

People resorting to weapons to resolve disputes is more of a modern thing. As a person who played HS sports, and has always been competitive in all things sports-related, it was wonderful seeing reactors with sporting backgrounds chiming into this film. The added experience and understanding was a plus to the reaction. Great work on a great film. I hope you consider other sports films for the future (like Miracle, Secretariat, 42, 61*, Race, Invincible, Field of Dreams, For Love of the Game, etc).

Denzel in Glory is pretty iconic

Christina Aguilera and Brittany Spears were also on the Mickie Mouse club with Ryan Gosling.

You guys need to do Glory… it stars one of Denzel’s best performances and it’s about the first black regimen, the 54th Massachusetts, during the American Civil War… it’s debatably one of the greatest films ever made. The Gettysburg scene was very fitting.

Definitely one of the best sports movies. Absolute masterpiece. Best mama joke in this movie too!

I absolutely love this movie, but my biggest issue is that Sheryl Yoast actually passed away (undetected heart condition) in 1996, four years before this movie came out. I suppose it makes sense that she'd be the narrator, since the opening and ending scenes are at Gerry's funeral, but it doesn't quite sit right with me that it wasn't acknowledged by the film. Then again, it already had something of a bittersweet ending, so that probably would've been too much of a downer.

Parts of this film were made in Georgia and I recall kids from my high school going to be extras.

You guys were in your feelings with this one! One of my favorite movies! I cry at certain parts every time

"he was the local hero" Because he was breaking racial barriers, not just because he was the football coach. It was not that long ago. My dad just turned 70 last month. He didn't attend an integrated school until his senior year of high school. It amazes me sometimes that I'm the first generation in my family BORN with the right to vote.

It’s kind of funny. So many people give Ronny “Sunshine” Bass a pass, because he “didn’t know”. But Petey, who had lived there all his life, TOLD HIM. He didn’t listen, because he knew better. Yes, he meant well, but so frustrating.

I played football from 4th grade through college and all that locker room stuff is real. We had a guy that use to get in the shower, get covered in suds and chase all the freshmen around giving them hugs. All just fun and games.

A Few Good Men is the movie the quote, "You can't handle the truth!" is from if I'm not mistaken.

Playing for the titans we literally did Titan Jacks instead of jumping jacks spelling out TITANS, Petey was even still working at the school still 12 years ago now

One of my 5 favorite films on racism and how to get to know someone different. So many great performances and so much well written dialog

LOVED you guys reactions,such raw,true emotions,I was crying-TOO. LOL. Such a-GREAT-film,you can't help but to get emotionally involved and invested in these characters.

One of the best movies EVER MADE ❤

If you look at 3:50 the Oldsmobile was my friend's car. He lent it to them to use in this movie.I used to live in GA IN 2000

Love you two, love this movie. Thanks for this I stayed up for it. Have a good one everyone

Y’all the cutest couple I’ve seen in my life.

Just started my reaction channel and needed some great reactors to subscribe to! I have been in pure heaven since discovering your channel! Thanks for the entertaining content 😂!

Look at you two cutie pies with big hearts. ❤

A wonderful reaction to a great movie. Thanks for sharing this y'all. This is definitely one of my goated movies. I hope you guys react to the more sports movies. There are so many good ones!

By far my favorite reaction you guys have done...great job

Thanks for doing this one, it was one of the most inspirational movies ever. The soundtrack to this movie was awesome.

I adore you two. So sweet and kind. I love this movie. Watched it so many times

Loveeee this movie ! One of my favs. Great reaction

I’m honoured to watch this with you 2. I’m really glad to hear your input. You matter.

The movie you were looking for with the line you don't want the truth is a few good men.

My favorite movie of all time!!! I quote this to my parents all the time, even remixed it for a basketball game we were watching together last week and made my mama cry she laughed so hard 🥰

Love to see you replenishing your fluids when it’s a sad movie. I hope that has been working to fend off the headaches! I’ve always loved this movie. My dad is a high school band director in Georgia and it’s always fun to go and enjoy a game or 2 during the season. It just has a great atmophere and every time I see this movie it reminds me of how fun it is.

Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤

One of my favorite movies of all time it hits every emotion,great reaction

Really liking the lighting and camera movement! Looks next level. 💪🏾💪🏾

Excellent reaction

This is one of my most favorite movies that I watch again and again. I always cry. But it’s just that good. 😊❤

The 30:12 moment perfectly encapsulates the moment/feeling that places this movie among my faves

"The team's 4-0?! Those are my brothers."

Is this a new camera? You guys look crystal clear

If you liked this movie, I recommend “Glory Road”. It is amazing!

Love the breaker high shoutout That show was so good haha

Beautiful reaction guys

One of my all time favorites

I can't watch this movie as a biracial person without crying. It's one of my faves !

Takes place in Alexandria, VA. Gosling's character was not a real person, but there were definitely people like his father in the movie. Gosling and Kate Bosworth were the only actual teenagers that were in the movie that are named. The guy playing Julius was 31 and the one playing Bertier was 25. Gosling is actually a bit better at football in "The Slaughter Rule" in 2001.

grew up overseas but family always in virginia. so i'm from there now. and i live real close to where this took place. it's not crazy that this hate was here. it really was. have to do everything i can to ensure it isn't that way anymore.

The movie that I wouldn't mind keep playing for the class 😂😂 such a good movie man

Thank you guys for reacting to one of the best heart touching sports movie. Also please do react to Coach Carter (2005). ❤

If want more football movies should check out "friday night lights". Its not about prejudice but does show a crazy side of how fanatical football can be in states and what it means to them.

Loved your reaction. ❤❤❤

Beautiful reaction.... thanks ya'll

I went to high school from 1960 to 64 in Spokane Washington. The school had the poorest and richest in town and most of the black kids were in my school. Never saw a segregated bus, white and black drinking fountains and my school was integrated decades before I got there. My wife lived in an integrated neighborhood of white, black and Japanese. It was a major shock watching the southern schools forced integration. Didn't even know this stuff existed. I have a heavy heart seeing integration has gone backward from those days.

Beautiful reaction.

Also, shoutout to Jane for remembering my fave (JC Chasez)! Ryan Gosling's MMC days really paid off during that debut We are the Titans intro, he was so smooth

What a great reaction, I definitely need to re-watch this movie, been a while since I’ve seen it! Someone probably already mentioned this but I think Bertier died of another car accident.

High School Football in the southern states is insanely popular, full towns will shut down to go to the local HS game.

Started my love of football. Love the movie

You guys should watch McFarland USA after this

You guys should react to Sons of Anarchy! Ryan Hurst who plays the team captain in this movie plays a great character named Opie. He looks so different now that a lot of people didn't know it was the same actor at first. He also played Thor in the video game God of War Ragnarok

Friday Night Lights is another good football movie

Thanks!

This may seem kind of random but the water thing in football practice, I've seen people react to this movie and feel shocked at him refusing to let the players have water, but my dad played football for his school in the late 60s, early 70s and he told me about how back then they didn't know about heat stroke and that their coaches would make you run harder if you asked for water because it was a sign of weakness. Until one year a boy on the team died during practice from heat stroke and dehydration. After that they were required to provide water breaks. I can't imagine running around in padding in the Louisiana heat and humidity for HOURS with nothing to drink and how awful that would have felt as that poor kid died.

Why did they skip the scene where Boone schools Yoast about "crippling the boys for life." That's arguably the most important scene in the movie that drives the entire point home. It's Will Patton's best acted scene in the movie. Shame you missed it.

I love this movie so much 😂

Football is important in the states especially in the 70's but even more so in the South. Great Movie!

Love this movie

Gerry had his 1st accident at some point after the State Championship. He was heavily recruited to play college football.

My biggest beef with this movie is I live just north of Gettysburg and that was not Gettysburg 😂
