The Belle de Bengal and I went to watch ‘Freedom Writers’ the other (Wednes) day. I thought the movie was gripping and really quite enjoyable. My infatuation with and love of everything to do with Hilary Swank has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Upon recommending the film to C2 she decided to place her spanner firmly in my works exclaiming that it was just a copy of Dangerous Minds and that they were ‘all apparently inspired by true events.’ ‘But this one most truly was, and I really enjoyed it,’ I argued. Ugh! She hasn’t even seen the film.
Why this films stands out, in my opinion, is that it has a certain edge. It is based on a series of true events which have been recorded and it shows people changing in a society so eaten up with racial divides and gang crime. I found it, in many senses, inspirational. To be able to choose truth over conformity is no new suggestion. This film shows us what can be achieved the moment somebody lights a match within our souls.
Check it out!
The Chinese buffet beforehand was also quite nice. And for once in my life it’s safe to say, Chinese food left my feeling full for more than three hours. No, honestly.
