Freedom Writers

Freedom Writers is a 2007 American film starring Hilary Swank, Scott Glenn and many others.. It is based on the book The Freedom Writers Diary by teacher Erin Gruwell who wrote the story based on Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach, California.
The film follows the true life story of Erin Gruwell, a English teacher at Long Beach who, when faced with the onerous task of managing a class waiting to be ripped apart by inter-racial hatred, is “foolish” enough to believe she can bond them, forge them as one and make them seek their true potential.For me, the movie is great because of the dialogues, closing remarks to conversations and the telling spaces. To prove my point, I would like you to watch for the kid who reads out from his diary at the “Toast for Change” occasion(near the end of the movie). His words moved me. They sure do. Unless you’ve lived with your eyes closed, there is a fair chance you’ve seen kids like that too.
I learnt a lot from this movie:
things like... How rude discrimination is...
The american gangstas..
And..That there is more to Life than worrying about oneself.
Overall, Its a movie with a purpose !!!! (well fulfilled too.. )
4 stars and a thumbs up from my lounger !!!
