Speech from Remember the Titians: Yes Coach Boone does speak to his audience (the team). He first takes them on a run through the woods and to Gettysburg battle field were the civil war was fought. He states that on this field they were fighting the same war there were on that day. And that they need to come together as one and as a team. While giving the speech the speaker has great conviction. He gets his point across very well and you can see it in the players faces. He keeps looking of in the distance of the field. he uses pauses at great spots. and that can be very affective. I loved the clip. I think because its my favorite movie of all time
I think that Coach Boone really connects with his team at the scene of the Battle of Gettysburg. I believe that this speech is the turning point in the movie and changed the vast amount of static characters on the team to dynamic ones. Before this speech, they had not been acting like a team. They were at war with each other just as those who went to battle at Gettysburg in 1863. Coach Boone talks with exemplary emotion to his team showing the validity of such battlegrounds and displaying the effect it has on himself being an African American man. He goes on to say, “Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we're still fighting amongst ourselves today.” This quote shows that even though this malicious battle took place over one hundred years ago, the discrimination, prejudice, and segregation is still a predominant factor today. The coach builds intensity of the speech with slight pauses he takes as he looks out to the grave sight of the fallen soldiers and then he makes one of the most significant remarks of the speech, “You listen and you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together right now, then we, too, will be destroyed.” Here, is when he speaks with true conviction for equality amongst his team and move forward from the blunders of the past. This is an incredible clip because of the parallels being made from Boone’s team to a battle within in the Civil War and an overall outcry for integration.
I agree with this. I think the speech made an impact on the players and the pauses he took made it more intense. It was a good speech and made the players of the team come together and get along more.
I agree with this as well. I think the symbolism of the battlefield helps to further the plot of the movie. This speech gave the players motivation to become a team rather than two sides.
I agree with Marissa because the team wasn't acting like a real team in the beginning of the run, but after Boone's speech, all the members started to realize that they have to come together and move forward from the past. The speech was really emotional and it affected the players in a positive way. I like how the coach used Gettysburg and the men at war as a symbol for the team to fight together as a team and win their battle.
I agree with the statement made, Boone does a very nice job delivering an intense speech to the players. I agree with Marissa when she says that Boones small pauses make the speech more intense, as well as Jakes comment that the run before was really intense already.
I agree with both Jake and Marissa’s comments about the meaning of the speech and how it allowed the players to become a better team. I also agree that the small pauses in-between the speech and looking off into the distance were good strategies and that they needed to become a team or they would be destroyed like the other men in the battle if they didn’t work together.
I agree with Jake and Marissa's comments about the speech. He did talk to the audience very well which made a bigger impact on the team and how they would play.I also agree with Marissa when she said that the pauses in between made the speech for intense.
I agree with Marissa. I thought that coach did a great job at giving the speech to the team and inspired to help them work together as a team. I also thought that the pause in the speech made the speech a little intense. Overall the speech was made very well.
I agree with Jake on his comment about coach Boone talking to his team and getting their attention. Taking them to Gettysburg and telling them about the battle that they had fought on that field was the same battle they were fighting at that moment, and in order to win, they needed to come together.
