I'm from the suburbs and I had to go to summer school with inner city kids and I was the only white kid and the teacher was white and young and she had to give motivational speeches to kids that were doing bad....then I saw this.
I'm 14 Nd white , nd I cried over this we were readin it in class than watched the movie and now I qot the book , but it's the best movie to me jus to see no racial discrimination or nthin : ')
One of the the most touching films I've ever seen. My respects to Mrs. G and the project! Tell people about the movie, everyone should know this story!
i watched this movie in class with religious study and after we watched the movie we were going to the anna frank house( i live in holland) and then they said that they have a program with that movie and it was really great what we all did there
ive tryed to find the movie but its really hard to find... i dont know why but really good movies like this one are dificult to find but a good movie that is worth seeing is "el estudiante" sorry i dont kow hte name in english its a mexican movie and trust me its REALLY good
My friend was in this movie he was the kid that started the fight in the yard he a orange hoody on. but he was gun down in orange county at denny's in 06' it took them almost 3 years to find the guners. RIP Armond Jones
Brilliant movie! I didn't realize it was based on a true story and that made the whole point of the movie even better. I recommend this to everyone. I adore Hilary Swank. She always acts in great movies - amazing actress.
I think this movie is great because it really ressembeles to some stuff in my life ex: im in a groupe 203 im my school we are in a special class like them we have a great teacher her name starts with miss:G... like in the film, and she does all for us and she is the best teacher ever !!!
@NoirFilleChante Because it was such a touching story, how Erin sacrificed everything.. her own money, her marriage.. for these kids who had far less than her! If there were more people like her in this world.. the world would be a far better place :)
@me0ha0ha Well, I guess you could look at it both ways. I just looked at it from a more inspirational point of view. Instead of feeling heavy with depression, I felt more light with hope. Haha...if that makes sensee.
@NoirFilleChante Crying doesn't always mean the person coing it is filled with a heavy sence of depression.. it's a sign of high emotion, whether it be sadness, happiness, excitment, inspiration, relief.. etc! I cried because i was touched therefore happiness/inspiration etc.
Hah not sure if you're Hilary Swank... But my teacher liked this movie, and we'd finished all we needed to learn for the year. So she figured we could kill time and watch some films.
Not really mathematical, but there are worse movies we could've watched!!
I read it, its veryy good, but there are alot of bad parts in it, and I had to skip over some parts because there are alot of very risky parts in the book, however, it teaches you what kids truly went through, so i highly suggest you reading it.
after you read the book, you will realize how good of a job they did with the movie ! because its like the movie came right out of the book, anyways the book was very good. Just like the movie!!
I was in a play with Hilary once in Bellingham. She was only 14 or so, I was about 25. She made funny Jim Carrey-style faces at me alot during rehearsals. She was very animated. Who'd of thought she'd make it bigtime?
This film is an inspiration for all mixed races all over the world. Hilary gives a brilliant performance as Erin Gruwell. It also shows what you can achieve when you give it your best effort. Erin was so dedicated.
this movie was out in cinemas at some point but i wasnt allowed to go coz i was grounded (for about three days lol i know its not really grounded) but then after three days they didnt show that film anymore...that is sooooo unfair!!!
not all schools are like that, it's just in some areas. I'm happen to be in a pretty good school, that stuff doesn't happen in our school. We're pretty lucky and the movie is really good, I got the book after I had watched the movie. Hilary Swank is an awsome actress, my favorite character is the teacher she plays.
My family moves around a lot and I've been to several different high schools that weren't like the one in this movie. Maybe I'm just lucky, but the point is saying you're scared of going to an American school is just the kind of attitude this movie and the actual Freedom Writers oppose.
omg! i love this movie!! When i was watching it, it made me think about how good my life is!! it mad me almost made me cry thinking about how these kids have to live and how they see there friends being killed!!
yeah after i watched the movie i started lookin up the book i wanna get a copy... but they dont have it on island i have to order it from the states...
