光辉岁月

   每个人都有生命中值得铭记的阶段吗?属于我们的光辉岁月是什么？一生中有这么一段让你全力以赴，热血沸腾的时光，就已是上天给你的最大的恩赐。不管这条路你是否会继续走下去，也不管你会不会继续这一段辉煌，不管将来你会变成怎样的人，有怎样的前途，以何种形式结束。你会铭记泰坦教给你的：团结、拼搏、宽容、公正！你会记得白色的泰瑞黑色的朱利不分彼此，记得他们说：我们要一起变老变胖。

又是一部结合了种族冲突和体育的好电影。这部电影有些类似于南非曼德拉的《成事在人》：通过体育运动（对抗性和团队合作性极强的美式橄榄球）来达到黑人与白人的种族融合，同时给人心灵上的感动。

黑人教练为如何做好一个好领导做出了模范：求胜欲强，工作上严苛，通过高强度的训练把人的潜力挖掘出来，不会因顾及人的感受而对自己的原则妥协，同时又公平地对待每一个人。他不柔情，因为他心中有比讨好别人更伟大的目标：他需要胜利来证明自己，用实际行动来改变这个世界疯狂的歧视。而私下里又象变了一个人一样，是一个好朋友、好父亲。

相比之下，白人教练有些象“好好先生”，他会去抚慰因责骂而气馁的队员，但同时也会因为自己的偏好而造成了不公平。他很正直，他看重的是真正的光明正大的胜利和对于真正的高水平的尊敬，而不会为了自己的利益而和别人同流合污。

结合我的亲身经历，我不得不承认黑人教练的风格是做一个成功的管理者的标准，虽然这会让他的手下不舒服，甚至有抵触心理，但只有这样才能获得非凡的成功。这就是所谓的领导的魄力和智慧吧。

年轻人的心态比较开放，种族观念比较不那么根深蒂固。那些白人男孩从开始对黑人的一触即发的愤怒转变为把黑人作为自己一生中最好的朋友

美国的种族歧视也有地域性，在加州和一些地方好一些，而弗吉尼亚就很严重。

这片子有好几个中文翻译名字，都不是直译，相比下感觉光辉岁月这个名字更为贴切。
如果你是一个热爱运动的男人，你就会喜欢这片子，如果你是一个热爱自由的人，你也会喜欢这片子，如果你是个信奉人人平等的人，你也会喜欢这片子。我三点都占了，所以我毫不犹豫给了五星，Gary出车祸那段，我眼眶湿了，看到一伙人在球场上齐心协力我也沸腾了。
每每看这样励志的运动影片，我就很有马上出去打篮球的冲动，也许花在打篮球上的时间我用在读书上我会上更好的大学，有更好的工作，但我从不曾后悔，因为篮球带给我的东西不是这些所能比拟的，当和队友在场上挥洒汗水的时候，我根本不会注意周围的任何东西，我的眼里只有篮球，球框，队友还有对手，现在打球可能更多的时候只是娱乐和休闲，更多的只是个人表现而非真正的一个team，怀念那些个打比赛的时候，虽然只是学校里的比赛，虽然大家连半职业都不是，虽然没有扣篮，没有聚光灯，没有统一的球服，but that's our game,not play,it's the real game.
不管算不算光辉岁月，我一样怀念那疯狂打球的时光，永远铭记在心。

About Remember The Titans

It was an encouraging movie based on a real story happened in 1971. In 1971, a court order forces three high schools (two white, and one African-American), to integrate their student bodies and faculties for the first time. Because of that, Bill Yoast, the longtime head-coach in T.C. Williams high school football team, had to quit his job or became an assistant coach. The team added a half of black players and needed a black coach. As a result, Herman Boone, a distinctive black coach, became the head-coach of this football team, and Mr. Yoast became an assistant coach. Firstly, the white and black guys always fought against each other, but later, after a special and extremely tough camp, they started to be a real team. They were harmonious and extraordinary in that time, but the amicable relationship between the white and black players seemed hard to be accepted by other people. Finally, they used their perfect grade, the state championship, to be a soul leader of the integration.
        I like this film and I don’t know which part I like most exactly. I have to say I like the whole film. I like Yoast’s little girl named Sheryl. She loved her dad so much that she kicked the man who came to tell her father somebody would take his job. She was so lovely.~~ I am fond of Coach Yoast, because he gave up the opportunity of entering the Hall of Fame in order to get the game victory. He was always playing a key role in the games, especially when the Titans were almost defeated, like showing up the judge’s cheating. I love Coach Boon, too. Though he was kind of mean to his players, he was mean equally to everybody. He was confident, even a little bit vain. When he first met Mr. Yoast, he said he came to win and he would be the head-coach. But he was really great, because he did it. I also enjoy the parts of team members. Julius and Gerry, they could lead the whole team well and played an important part in the bond of two sides. Besides, I was impressed so much on their firm friendship. Petey and Lewis were also appreciated by me because they made the team vigorous and energetic. What’s more, I like their special style of entering the football field, I like their making fun on each other, I like their dancing and singing and so on. In a word, everybody in this team was great and the whole film made me warm-blooded!
        “Alice, are you blind? Don't you see the family resemblance? That's my brother.” It was said by Gerry. At that time he got to be paralyzed for a car accident and Julies walked into the patience room while the nurse said “only kin’s allowed in here.” Gerry called Julies brother and then smiled. That segment totally touched me. Gerry was a great football player and was the captain. Being paralyzed was considered as a huge disaster. It meant the end of his football life. But what surprised me most was that he was even able to play jokes. He said the family resemblance existed between him and Julies. He took Julies as a brother. It reminded me of the terrible situation when this two guys firstly met. They were quite indifferent and felt disgust to each other. At that time, no one was able to imagine their relationship later. Because Julies was a black people, Gerry’s mother banned Gerry to go out with him, also, Gerry’s friends, including his girlfriend, were opposed to his new black friends. In that period, discrimination was still rooted in some white people. So in this aspect, the friendship between Gerry and Julies was quite amazing. I really wish they could “get old and get fat together.”
        
Here are some examples of how they changed.
        When Coach Boone first visited Coach Yoast, little Sheryl opened the door and rejected him immediately. But later, after getting along with him for a long time, she started to compromise. She even went to Coach Boone’s house talking about the football team with him.
        When the first day Coach Boone’s family moved there, the neighborhoods discriminated him as if the black family would disgust them. But later, Titans won several games, and Coach Boone won a lot of reputation. They gave a warm applause to Coach Boone when he turned back home. They started to respect this family.
        Gerry’s girlfriend was one of the impressive roles in this film. At the beginning, when Gerry told her that he had some black friends, she was astonished because in her mind, color was strong enough to divide friends. She thought they were living in a totally different world and they would never cross the line determined by color. However, she finally realized that it was her own fault. The society was changing. In the last game, she also came to the football field to cheer the Titans.
        What can be learnt?
As far as I am concerned, the most important thing can be learnt from the organized sports is the cooperation. In the last game, the State Championship Game, when Titans was going to lose, Julies said to Coach Boone, “I am not perfect, and I will never be. None of us are, but the team is perfect. ” Football is a team work, it needs everyone’s effort. There are many different positions in games. In this movie, it has the quarterback, halfback, running back, wide receiver and so on. Someone belong to offence and someone belong to defence. Having a good cooperation is the key to win. The other thing can learn is, being confident. In a team game, every player must have confidence in teammates and also in himself. And the last one is, never give up. A dream will not end until you stop trying. In a game, every second should be grasped till the ending whistles. Don’t give up, and you will succeed.

一个严苛的近乎不近人情的独裁教练，每当我看到白教练驳斥黑教练的严酷和缺乏关怀时，我总以为会看到黑教练的震惊和惭愧，然后一个人默默的喝着啤酒在球馆里忏悔和反省——这都是国产片的遗毒。
但我更惊喜的发现，黑教练用更加让人震惊的意见和理由，强硬的顶了回去。他们是一只混合肤色的球队，他们在那个种族歧视盛行的年代，肩负的压力更大，他们需要更多的胜利来证明自己，证明白人和黑人都是上帝创造的平等子民，他们要用实际行动来改变这个世界疯狂的歧视。
所以他们不能拥有退缩，他们必须铁石心肠，他们不能拥有柔情，他们一定得狠，狠狠得去斗争，狠狠得去比赛，狠狠得去赢得胜利。

这是一部伟大的电影，励志，团队协作，种族都是它被人铭记的标签。就像电影中说的一样，球队的每一个人并不是完美的，但是他们在一起，他们就是完美的，这才是他们赢球的原因。同样，这部电影或许不是最激励人心的，或许也不是对种族问题最深刻的，更不是对友谊或是协作表现最华丽的，但是将这些融合到一起，给人的震撼就远远不止1+1=2那么简单。
其实，对于这种更倾向于励志类型的电影，球队取得成功已经成为我们熟知的情节，克服的困难似乎也总是和团队协作，个人志向相关。不过，每一部电影似乎又各有各的不同。如果说光荣之路里，十二个人面对的是整个白人群体的话，那么在这部电影里，队员们更多的面对的是自己的内心。或许我不得不承认，泰坦的每一个成员，从队员到教练，都具有伟大的人格。黑人和白人，在一个充满矛盾的年代里互相融合互相理解所需要的勇气恐怕不是我们所能够理解的，但是，他们做到了，虽然也遇到了很多波折。更重要的是，他们不仅仅用胜利激励人们的斗志，他们用他们坚不可摧的友谊和团结影响了身边甚至更广范围内人们的观念。黑人和白人，有时也会有意见不合，但是，每当他们想将仇恨加于对方的时候，泰坦的精神都给了他们最好的指引。或许，这要比胜利，不斗志来得更为重要吧。
每当看完这样一部电影，或许胜利前的那紧张的几幕依然会萦绕在我们眼前，但是，更重要的是，我们每个人都在这个过程中得到了心灵上的成长。
