Finding Forrestor

 

             That was my first though after watching Finding Forrester. The story was great and they did a flawless job on casting the actors. The fact that Jamal missed the two free throws to and caused his team to lose the championship basketball game was important to illustrate an example. It showed that although schools do often favor their athletes in a scholastic manor by helping them keep their grades, there is a right way to handle these matters and that only the strong athletes would not take advantage of those types of situation. It showed that he was stronger than the professors and that they cannot get what they want though bribery. This movie slightly reminded me of Save the Last Dance. Except the roles were switched, the black male, Jamal, was the new student and the white female, Claire Spencer was the student that was mainly the first and only friend at the school. Despite of this the theme and the story were great. One part of the movie Finding Forrester that I distinctly remember was when Forrester was telling Jamal that when you are writing a paper or essay you need to write and not think, you think when you revise your first draft. Within the recent years I have noticed that movies have truly begun to emotionally move me. I have watched movies such as Enemy at the Gate, which made me want to take a course in history. With this motivation I was propelled to look into a history course that was offered at the Sacramento City College. The comedy Meet the Parents changed my desire to have a girlfriend for this movie made me not want to meet the parents of any future girlfriend. Likewise, after watching this movie I became motivated to complete one piece of English homework, a reading and analysis on one of Plato's ideas, that I have been stuck on for a couple of days. This movie motivated me to reattempt to do this assignment because I felt that I was "thinking" too much and that I just needed to write and then think later.
