Finding Forrester

Finding Forrester

The name of this movie is “Finding Forrester.” The main characters in the movie are William Forrester played by Sean connery, and Jamal Wallace played by Rob Brown. The director of the film is Gus Van Sant, and the movie was released on December 19th, 2000. The company that the movie was made with was Columbia Pictures. In the movie you watch a unique relationship between William and Jamal develop. Jamal a gifted- scholar athlete who thinks he's meant to play basketball meets the famous writer William Forrester and realizes what he really is meant to do.

In this film 16 year old high school boy Jamal is a very smart writer trying to go to school. He gets an offer to go to a private school but can’t afford to go because his father left him at a young age. He breaks into an old man’s house through a dare and when he breaks in he finds out that the house belongs to the famous author of the book “Forrester”.

Finding Forrester was a very high quality movie. The acting, setting, music and conflicts were all good. I found that all the actors played their characters well and their characters were believable. I thought that the setting matched these characters very well. The soundtrack to this movie was also good and fit in with the movie well.

This film compares to the film “To Kill a Mockingbird”. The relationship between Jamal and William Forrester compares to the relationship between Scout and Boo Radley. Two people come together and create a good relationship. These two movies compare because two very different people change each other. Scout and Boo changed their lives. Mr. Forrester helped Jamal perfect his writing and encouraged him to make something out of his life.

     The film review that I watched was called " Review: ‘Deadpool,’ a Sardonic Supervillain on a Kill Mission" by Manohla Dargis on February 11, 2016. I like this review because it tells a lot about the movie with ought giving away spoilers.

     The reason I chose this film review is that it has a nice balance talking about the film and its actors. It does not just focus on just the film, it talks about the actors, other films, the creator and more. As well it also talks a lot about the film but does not spoil the film for people who read the review before going to view the movie.

      Overall the review was very nicely done, it did not jump back and forth between topics and was fairly easy to read and as well understand. I really liked how the New York Times did their review and that is why I have chosen it for my assignment.
