This is obviously based off a true story, but Gary actually didn’t get injured until AFTER the championship game. And in reality, EVERY single game they played wasn’t even close. They blew out every team
Not true. The game against Marshall, the fifth game in the regular season, was a nail-biter that we won 21-16. Many of us in the stands thought we were going to lose. However, the rest of the games were blow-outs. IIRC, the defense held our opponents to just 45 points all season.
This movie always cracks me up with the jokes. '' Lastic man. What happened to you?'' '' Man I just gave your momma a piggyback ride and she weighs twice as much as I do.''
Most of the main actors playing the players were well into their 20s. The guy playing Julius Campbell was 31 and the one playing Garry Bertier was 25. The only two named characters that really were teenagers at the time of filming were Ryan Gosling and Kate Bosworth.
Bro on the left is the DJ and Bro on the right is the hype man lol y'all have two different personalities and focuses but they compliment each other well.
Before the white Coach said the “make them remember the night they played the Titans” Petey left the group huddle because the coach told him to stop slacking and giving excuses, that’s why he got benched in the final game
They do! I don't even really like the RT channel anymore. They didn't do it this much during Thrones but now they talk so much and edit over the good scenes
speaking of southern culture and whether something is lawful or not... my cousin graduated high school in SC in 1991 and they had a black homecoming queen and a white homecoming queen - these attitudes run deep
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 just a year or two 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 in the gym in those later years, and they played ping pong. Bertier won, because he was excellent my brother says.
I can no longer see this movie without hearing Shane Gillis in my head making fun of it. That town went from centuries of “Don’t let em in our school’ to “holy shit the high school football team is 4-0!!!, those are my brothers”
I enjoy watching you guys from time to time! Your audio sounds like it needs some work? The movie audio is too low, and your voices are loud. Not trying to be insulting or anything, but the audio was throwing me off a bit. I don't know anything about sound mind you, just from a casual viewer point of view. It could be fine and my ears are shit who knows lol. Cheers guys.
Came here to say this. Wtf. Bro on the right laughs and talks too fucking loud thru the most important dialogue in the story. My ears hurt. Tweak the audio

That's why you always take "based on a true story" with a grain of salt
Sunshine never kissed bro either

Ryan Gosling is a great actor, but he was an absolute liability at the corner position 😆
Calling the little girl sick for loving football and loving what her dad does is CRAZY work. Your mind is too small.
Sick is slang for cool lol. I’m 40 and sick has been like that since I was in high school. 🤣🤣
