Here are the reels I don't understand. Why wouldn't they go with the reals instead?
1. In Reel Life: The team leaves for camp Aug. 15. They've yet to practice together.
2. In Reel Life: Alexandria, Va., is depicted as a town torn apart by racial tensions, and the forced integration of two high schools -- one all-black, one all-white, forms the core conflict of the movie.
3. In Reel Life: Boone tells Yoast that he has won four or five championships down in Carolina.
4. In Reel Life: Gerry gets into a terrible car accident before the championship game, and is paralyzed.
5. In Reel Life: The Titans' first game is against Haywood, the second against Herndon, the third against Groveton ...
6. In Reel Life: Before the first game, Coach Boone gives the team a pep talk: "Like all the other schools in this conference, they're all white. They don't have to worry about race. We do."
7. In Reel Life: In the championship game, the Titans face Marshall in Roanoke Stadium.
Wouldn't it have been more sensible to go with the facts in the above points? I really cannot see how the facts would have altered the general theme of the movie in the instances above. Maybe it's just me....
Some reels like 3-4-5-7 would have hardly changed the theme of the movie. True? Espeically 7.
Ahh well....
