Write movie review for Freedom Writers. Be sure to include all the necessary elements plus at least 2 pieces of figurative language. Add a picture and BE SURE TO CITE THE PICTURE SOURCE. (Make sure this review is unique and not taken from one already published. I will check for validity.) **If you read the book instead of viewing the movie, pick another movie to do review on. OR you can write book review instead of a movie review.

This deeply earnest drama follows a familiar storyline. An idealistic young teacher inspires her "at-risk" urban students to respect each other and themselves. She's white, they're mostly of color; she's clueless about their harsh lives, they initially resent her cluelessness but learn to appreciate her efforts to understand them. It's this last part that makes director Richard LaGravenese's film work, despite its many clichés. Erin Gruwell (Hilary Swank) makes a difference by asking her students to talk to her and each other and acting on what they say. The plot is predictable, the actors too old to play high school students, and the pacing too slow. And really, the camera circles around deep-thinking face a few too many times. But Freedom Writers also argues for listening to teenagers. That in itself makes it a rare and close-to-wonderful thing.
