I was re-watching Remember The Titans last night and apart from the fact that it's the best sports movie ever, Ronnie Bass aka "Sunshine" has got to be the person I aspire to be the most.
For starters, Sunshine defies all existing cliques and stereotypes. He's a jock- and an amazing one at that. He's clearly excellent at some martial art- I, however, can't really figure out which martial art it is. He's easy-going and funny and he plays the best mind games ever. For example, the scene in which PD tries to- not so subtly- find out Sunshine's sexual orientation (after he kisses Gary, which is extremely brave. I would not attempt kissing Gary), watch Sunshine cut PD down with grace and wit. This is who I aspire to be. Playing mind games with charm is definitely an A+ in my book. He's also the smoothest dude- watch how he easily embraces the (some what derogatory) nickname "Sunshine" with humour and easygoing-ness. These are important life lessons guys! Stay true to yourself, be smart and fun, you don't always need to explain yourself, be nice and somewhat naive (that scene in which he clearly hasn't understood how deep the racial tensions are), and do what you love. And be a smooth dude while you're at it.
Sunshine, you're my hero.
