Freedom Writers

Posted by Joanna on Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Back to school today. BORING. I've made up my mind not to go tomorrow.
We watch movies the whole day.. it get's really boring after sometime. Different movies shown on different subjects.

Among all the movies, i personally like "Freedom Writers" It is shown by my english teacher.
I would say she made the right choice in showing us this movie.

This isn't a cartoon or lame movie. This is a true story and it's so inspiring that i kept my eyes on the screen throughout the whole show. I'll not be going to school tomorrow and that means i will not be able to watch the rest of the parts.

So i'm currently in the process of downloading the movie.

Let me just tell you what this movie is about.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The storyline of the movie takes place between 1992-1995, beginning with scenes from the 1992 LA riots. So basically, this teacher, called Erin Gruwell went to teach in this school, woodrow wilson high school.

At school, Gruwell intercepts a racist drawing of one of her students and uses it to teach them about the holocaust.Gruwell bought journals for them to pen down what they want to write everyday. She would not read them out to the whole class but just to herself.

From the journals she read, she realise that there is a serious race issue between the blacks and the whites. It featured lots of cruel acts, shooting and firing of bullets that killed many innocent lives.
---------------------------------------------------

I haven't really finish the whole movie. But from what i've read, it is said that Gruwell went on to help the students solve this issue on race and help them graduate.

I particularly like the part where Gruwell played this line game with them. I believe it is through this small little game that made them realise that actually, they have many things in common.

Alright. Maybe some download links to share? so you guys can watch it too? I spend quite sometime trying to find a good working link and here they are! They are in parts.
