Denzel Washington
I admire Denzel Washington. The reason for this is I think he is a wonderful actor.

Denzel has serious side to him and and also a humorous side when he is acting. He is an a

award actor and has award winning movies I think he has a wonderful personality from what I

see and has a humbling demenor about him self.

Dezel made his first apperance in acting in the comedy Carbon Copy in 1981 and has

also appeared in a number of off Broadway productions and in telivision movies before being

starring role in the hit television medical drama St Elsewhere (1982–1988). Washington

grabbed his first of five Oscar nominations for Cry Freedom (1987). And has won many more

sense then. . For example he has won an award on the movie (Flight) and has been nominated

for 77 awards winning 66 of them. I think he is indeed a wonderful actor and has many more

movies to preform in. I love when he acted in the recent movie 2 Guns with Mark Wahlberg a

movie where curupted DEA agent and a curupted naval intelligence officer find themselves on

the run after an atempt to infiltrate a drug cartel working against each other not knowing that the

othe. Another example of why I think Denzel Washington played a great inspirational roll in

was Remembering The Titians where the true story of an African-American coach and his high

school team on their first season in a racially intergrated school. As the movie goes on there is

racial issues between the team memebers on the football team but eventually team achieves

racial harmony and success. The coach is threatened by the school board that if he is to loose

one game that he will be fired. Thankfully they won every game that season undefeated while

still battling racial prejudice, before slowly gaining support from the community. I also find him to be generous and inspiring always giving back to the community. So

far Denzel Washington

    Matt Dillion for example, really sold his performance as racist cop who abuses his authority. Dillon does a good job in showing how his character has a self-realization when he is pulling Thadie Newton’s character out of the burning car. She refuses his help because earlier in the movie he sexual harassed her, but Dillon’s character eventually gets her to put that aside and get her out of the fire. Dillion does an excellent job of showing how his character changed in that scene on how he should not abuse his authority on people. Another actor who did a good job was Ryan Phillippe. He played a cop who always tried to do the right thing but ends up killing a man who he thought had a gun but did not. Phillippe did a good job of showing how is character did the wrong thing when he shoots Larenz Tate’s character Peter. These two scenes show how both actors Matt Dillon and Ryan Phillippe sold their performances as a racist cop and a cop who wants to do the right…

    Suburban Virginia schools have been segregated for generations, in sight of the Washington Monument over the river in the nation's capital. One Black and one White high school are closed and the students sent to T.C. Williams High School under federal mandate to integrate. The year is perceived through the eyes of the football team where the man hired to coach the Black school is made head coach over the highly successful white coach. Based on the actual events of 1971, the team becomes the unifying symbol for the community as the boys and the adults learn to depend on and trust each other. Remember the Titians was based on a true story of the major events that took place in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971 when African-American football coach Herman Boone was hired to guide an integrated, but racially split with the high school team T.C. Williams Titans. Angry, stubborn and a stiff employer, Boone faces a casual reception from the team's players as well as an awkward relationship with assistant coach Bill Yoast, a local white man with advantage and a tradition of winning who was bypassed for the job. It is clearly established that Bill has feelings of revulsion for having to be an assistant under a black man. As the two men learn to overcome their ignorance, they realize that they have much in common like integrity, honor, and a strong work ethic. They work together to transform an angry group of unfocused players into a dynamic winning team of responsible young men. Throughout the process, they managed to show their individuality from a divided community and ensure that Virginia will always “Remember the Titans.”…

    In the movie "Remember the Titans," there were major racial difficulties between black and white students. This was during a time when the school had just been integrated to allow blacks into the school and the high school football team. These challenges helped the Titans grow as a team and made them more co-operative and successful. The difficulties of a multiracial team were overcome with the assistance of democratic and authoritarian coaching styles, motivational skills, self-fulfilling prophecy, and the perception of the athletes and coaches. Because of these actions, the Titans were able to defeat the challenges they were faced with as a team and come out superior.…

In the process of integration, tension amongst individual in school becomes high.

The interaction of two coaches, a black and a white, is quite a challenging part. Both Coach Boone and Coach Yoast had struggle to overcome their personal dilemma and worked for the betterment of their team. Although reluctant at first, Yoast accepted the demotion and conspired with Boone to produce a winning team! The sub-story between Gerry Bertier, Titan's white team captain, and Julius Campbell, an aptitude black player is also remarkable.
