The movie Freedom Writers is a heartfelt, emotional roller-coaster. It gives insight in to how our inner city schools are being run .The enjoyment of watching one teacher fight against the system sent chills through my spine. No matter how hard things got she never gave up, she also gave a 100% of herself every single day. I would definitely recommend this movie for others to see. Hilary Swank, who is the star of this movie, also starred in such movies as Million Dollar Baby, Amelia Earhart and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, gives an Oscar award winning performance. She captivates the audience with her witty sense of humor and her heartwarming charm. We are taken on a trip from the inner city projects to the suburban life of outer city schools that have been designated to handle some of the inner city kids. Many of the teachers at the suburban schools have given up on the kids because they feel that they are a lost cause. Swank comes in, and shows the kids that there is more to life then hating and killing one another. Furthermore, she shows them a whole new world by exposing them to new things such as museums, hotels, and other cultures that had it much worse than they did. She eventually united the kids, and they began to move as one cohesive unit. Many of us have kids and should want the very best for them in life. Teaching our kids hate and segregation should never be the solution. In conclusion, I give this movie four and a half stars. I would highly recommend this movie to a friend. You never know how it may change their outlook on some of the things that go on in their life. If you have kids, this may come in handy for them too because some of the racial inequalities you see in this movie still goes on today.
