For someone who actually grew up in Fairfax County, here's the second part of the Remember the Titans story. TC Williams is deep in gang territory. In fact High School football games had to be moved from Friday nights to Saturday afternoons. This was done after visiting team players were getting stabbed while on the field playing. Yes, you read that correctly.

Omg! That’s crazy! Remember the Titans is one of my favorite movies and when it came out I remember trying to learn more about the true story. I didn’t see anything about that. Of course, this was back in 2000 so it was more difficult to do online research because there just wasn’t a lot of information available. But that’s crazy to hear! How long did they have to do that? Is it still that way? Sorry for the questions, it’s just interesting. I grew up in a dangerous city so they had to always have a lot of security at our schools and we had city cops working at our schools too. If you’ve ever seen 10 Things I Hate About You, the high school in that movie is actually the school I went to. It’s actually called Stadium High and it’s in Tacoma not Seattle.

The fact that Hinkley is becoming a ghost town is a good thing. It means the residents were able to use there settlement money to move somewhere where their water isn’t poisoning them.

And by that time, the innocent person is probably pretty old and removed from society.

@Head protection Lafonte Sure, but they're used in different ways, and the context is important - it's very weird to write it using 'orally'. Oral is more often used in relation to the mouth in general - taking medication, dental work, etc, whereas verbal is related to spoken words. 'Orally abusing' someone could be miscontrued in multiple ways, and is very rarely used in that context. When it is (relatively rarely) used in news reports, for example, it's often referring to non-verbal abuse.

Very glad to see the film, Unbroken, on this list, as it only tells the first half of the story. After returning to the US, Louis Zamperini did in fact have PTSD and became a violent alcoholic. It wasn't until he attended one of Billy Graham's tent ministry services in 1949 (at his wife's urging) that he finally turned his life around. After that was when, as depicted in the ending credits of the film, Zamperini went to Tokyo again, visited his captors there, and forgave them for what they had done to him. Today, on the site of the POW camp where Zamperini was at the end of the war, there is a park and a memorial to the POWs who died there. The biography, Unbroken, is an absolutely amazing read, though the brutality of certain events does make it very difficult to continue turning pages.

I read it was agreed by her sisters to have her be the "only child" in the movie as a memorial tribute. Remember The Titans fudged a lot of real facts. Many of the former players attest that he was a very abusive coach. My stepfather had a football coach who literally punched players in the locker rooms.

Maybe the context of high school is important, especially as I'm British so we don't really have the same fervent approach to school sports.

I think it's pretty common among people who have severe disabilities, male or female. Stephen Hawking's second wife allegedly beat him up, and both marriages ended in divorce. I think it's a tragic fact that while some people are big enough to love and marry someone who's severely disabled, the burden of it can get too much, and unless someone is either a saint or very good at handling their own emtions, all too often it can end up in abuse. Some people just aren't as good as they think they are. Before you think I'm undermining your point though, the only time I've ever actually seen spousal abuse it was a woman attacking a man. Both were depressive, she was alcoholic and psychotic. He was as much her carer as her partner but they were both driving each other into extreme depression. I think when either partner needs the other or is unstable enough that they might commit suicide if they broke up, then you've got a toxic recipe there.

It did, however, show some of the "rest of the story", including the alcoholism and the strangling, that this video says was left out of the original movie.

The Laura Hillenbrand biography of Captain Zamperini, also entitled 'Unbroken' is without doubt one of the best reads that I have ever experienced, had I not fallen asleep 3/4 of the way thru it I would've completed it in one sitting ... that being said, I was disappointed in the film version, but that is to be expected as there is just sooo sooo much in the book that just couldn't be translated to the screen, and although the film doesn't touch on Capt. Zamperinis life after returning home, the book does in great detail, I highly recommend giving it a go, even if you aren't that avid a reader, this man's life was so over the top incredible that you won't be able to put it down ..... 'Seabiscuit' is another biographical novel written by the same author, and that is am even MORE of a feel good read ... check it out 🤟

Anyone else especially love watching these videos and hearing Jules doing them cause you know there will be a little pep talk at the end that always makes my day or just me...

Thanks for your inspiring quote at the end of the video Jules. It definitely helps to make my day better.

I love the affirmative message at the end of your videos. It really does make a difference to how I feel.

I don't watch these things very often, but your message at the ever, well thank you! I was having a rough day and you really made it better!

Bonus: in "Richard Jewel", there's no mention about Kathy Scruggs' suicide, one year before the authorities caught the terrorist...

Actually “strangle” does not have to mean death. The word has 2 definitions. One is “to seriously or fatally obstruct breathing” and the other is “choke to death”. Since it is kind of confusing, often the phrase will be “strangled to death”. But generally speaking “strangle” is used to describe any time someone forcible obstructs the breathing of another by constructing the neck. It does not always result in death as the amount of time needed to do so is quite long.

Rather than even be bothered with dealing with an investigation as to what happened and being so disgusted that he was clearly set-up by people in the school system whom he pissed off by criticizing their failures, he bitterly resigned.

Keiko, the real orca that played Free Willy never got his happy ending. Inspired by his movie, people got together to try get keiko back home to Alaska. They even build him a massive ocean pond in Alaska with the idea they could rehabilitate him. But this never happened, he lived a few more years but died.

I object entirely to the part about Remember the Titans. The movie wasn't about Boone, so whatever happened to him wasn't the "true ending" of the story. The story was about that perfect season.

The movie "Unbroken" misrepresents the reality of the Prison camp at Naoetsu, which was a really terrible place. Evidence is that its existence was concealed as long as possible, until two people set out to acknowledge what had happened. No wonder Zamperini had PTSD, as my father (who was one of the few. Officers in the Camp., also did. People should make an effort to find out more than the movie implied, it was really horrendous.

thank you for your kind words, Jules... they are very much appreciated! 🙏🏽

My mother grabbed him off the road and placed him back on the footpath with his chair locked. All the while the brothers kept fighting. Mam just left them there and came home.

"We Were Soldiers" contrary to what was portrayed in the film, a second battalion was marched in by the end of the second day. This combined force easily dispersed the Vietnamese attacking force on the morning of the third day. After the battle, the original battalion was airlifted out while the second battalion again was marched off to a different landing zone so that the Air Force could carpet bomb the area. On the way to the landing zone the second battalion was ambushed in a devastating manner, so, not a happy ending. The book is much, much better than the movie.
