Inspirational Movie

  Freedom writers is an inspirational movie because its about the change and greatness of students. The basis of the movie is that their is a new teacher that is put into a classroom filled with "troubled" students. Its an interracial school and gangs, drugs and killing is not uncommon to that part of town. These students have been given up on and many don't plan on graduating high school whether or not they are dead or alive. On the other hand, this teacher wont by into the laziness of the other teachers. She supports and inspires her kids. I really liked it because I like the idea that there are people in this world that truly make a difference in others lives, and does it without an excuse about it being "too hard". A remarkable part of the movie is that its not all made up, it was based on a true story. This movie touched my heart because it followed the life this women led, and how she found the one thing that made her more happy than anything else in this world and she was doing a really great thing.

Movie Review

I honestly loved this movie, although that may be more or less because it was good for a movie in school. Nevertheless, I liked the obvious and cliche choice between the easy life with the Duke verses the harder life that she would be able to experience with her one true love.I liked this because it brought up a question that has still kept me wondering; will a women-in real life-choose her true love or the simple life with the Duke. Of course every romantic (myself included) chooses the poor writer, her true love, but what is the reality?  I will debate the fact that life is nothing like the movies and the right decisions are not always made as easily as they are portrayed in movies.Furthermore, I was the romantic when I packed up and stayed with my dad to have a better life for myself in a more loving environment for a year. But in the same breathe I made the mistake of wanting things to be a little easier and maybe a nicer school by moving back with my mom. I shamefully chose the "duke" over what I really loved. Thus the idea intrigued me. 

On a different note, the movie was about how "the greatest thing in life is to love and be loved in return". I think that is about how the Duke could have very well been in love with the girl, but was that love? While she didn't reciprocate the same feelings. But when someone does it should be rejoiced because its rare to have such a risk taking "all in" kind of love with someone like the main characters did.
