Interprative Leap

In the song “A’int, No Mountain High Enough”, sung by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell,  the music video shows a Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell coming together. When singing the lyrics it sounds as if they love each other so much and can’t be separated because of their love. They repeatedly hold on to each other and even the main lyrics talk about how there isn’t a mountain high enough or a valley low enough to keep them from loving each other. The song is powerful and shows the power of love and how it brings people together forever. In the movie “Remember the Titans” though there’s more to the song. The movie starts off as a Black and White high school football team having to come together and be successful as a football team. In the beginning there is a lot of fighting and disrespect between the two groups as they are clearly segregated in the groups they hang out with. But as the movie goes on they get closer and closer eventually becoming best friends. There then is a scene in the locker room where all of the team is together and the mood is clearly happy as they start joking around and singing this song. I believe this song plays as a metaphor for how they came together and now can’t be stopped. It shows how no matter what color their skin is or where they came from but the fact their a team and have come together. The song plays a perfect role for the movie and is a creative way to show how the team has unified as one on their way to winning a high school championship.
