But even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room. This line really hit me in this movie. The Freedom Writers is a 2007 dramatic film starring Hillary Swank, Scott Glenn, Imelda Stauton and Patrick Dempsey.
After all the riots that happened in the Los Angeles, Erin Gruwell the enthusiastic teacher started her first teaching in the Woodrow Wilson. She is expecting that the students that she will handle are smart, kind and a respectful one. Her expectation leads to disappointment when she start to see what is her class would be. She was shock on the first day that she met her students. The students that are disrespectful, boastful and gangster. After she met this students and see how they are not interested on her and the subject. Her motivation to teach and to have a chance to make her student change continue. She did everything that she can just to prove that her class is going to change and for the student to understand what really matters in our life. Even if she get tired of doing lesson plans and even having a fight on the assistant principal. She did'nt gave up, she made the students believe that there are alot of people who suffers more pain than what they are suffering right now. As time goes by, they became a family but the sacrifice of Ms. Gruwell is that her husband leaves her. She continue her life and became more closer to the students until one day the stories of her students was written in a book and her students are willing to defend her no matter what happen.
Everything in this movie is marvelous. Each of the actors in here justify what are really they are portraying specially Ms. Gruwell who is Hilary Swank in real life. She brings so much emotion that I can feel what she's feeling and she is just a great actor for doing this movie. Hands down for the director of this movie as he/she can have the knowledge to compile this movie and to make viewers to reflect after this movie. For the sound effects, it was really nice for the ears to hear rap song or gangster song that is related in the movie and the special effects also is good because it brings more interest in the movie.
As I finish watching this movie, I can conclude that there is no need for violence in this world. There is so much lesson that we can see in here, we all have equal rights in this world. The importance of respect and the integrity on being a teacher is seen in here. I can reflect that one person is enough to have a voice and stand to change people and believe that they can do anything to make them a better person.
