agreement quote/abraham diabi

‘‘Like Minds, Freedom Writers is Based On A True Story — in this instance that of novice teacher Erin Gruwell, who sacrifices her time, her personal life, even her style of dress to bring some inspiration to her materially and emotionally deprived class.’’

I am agree with this quote because thats what happened ..the teacher had no life or time for herself and even for her husband..she was working hard to get every student in the class successful and change their lifestyle..go away from the ghetto and find themselves a way to be someone later in the fact that they come in class and have better grades.

“The journey is a bumpy ride for Erin and her students,she fights the discouragement from other and her troubled relationship with her husband,the students faced the challenging phase of change.The movie is a drama,heart warmed film that will leave you wanting to be able to change someone elses life.”

“While it is, like its genre brethren, inspiring and uplifting, Freedom Writers glosses over so much material that it makes the process look too easy.”

I’m not sure what was meant by this quote, because “Freedom Writers” leaves nothing to be desired. It is a fully encapsulated drama with excellent screenplay and cast of characters portrayed well by each actor/actress. In my opinion, I disagree because all the material conveyed in the film was in detail, and shown a glimpse of each characters lifestyle.

“A richly rewarding film experience that rises to the top of its genre.”

 

I would have to agree with that. There are several other movies with the same premise, such as stand and deliver, but I feel that from watching ‘Freedom Writers’, they have taken the genre to a new level. While the other few similar movies may be motivational and heartfelt, ‘Freedom’ in my opinon, has been an experience all its own.

“Despite solid work from the engaging cast, there’s nothing new here to distinguish Freedom Writers as anything beyond a C+. “

I disagree with this quote because in my opinion i would give the movie a B. I feel that the movie made good actors and good script to go by. The movie was very realistic to me and caught my notice from the very start.It was very interesting to watch and it gave me inspiration to see the other views of people and their lifestyles.

But the means are refreshingly different. Erin finds ways to compare Hitler’s actions against the Jews to instances of gang violence.”

Detroit Free Press. 5 Janaury 2007.

“What is profoundly different about this based-on-fact film is that although we leave the theater wishing there were more teachers as devoted as the one depicted here”

I believe in this comment by Terry Lawson as he makes a good point about how devoted Erin was  towards her classroom and had to struggle all the way to build a strong relationship with her students.  Although she was placed in a class with juvenile and gang members, she also understood the struggles that they had to face for their survival.She also gradually lost the relationship with her husband because she had her attention diverted towards the students.

Freedom Writers Review: Disagreement

MacDonald, Moria. “Freedom Writers.”

“And the kids, many of whom are played by actors visibly past their teens (they’re supposed to be high-school freshmen and sophomores, but many look like they’re past graduate school), transform almost overnight from surly troublemakers to eager learners”.

I disagree with this comment on two parts. First, I do believe that the actors/actress that played the role of the students were made believable. Besides their looks, what supported that their role was believable was their outstanding acting of immaturity which makes them seem younger than they are. Secondly, the writers compressed this true event into a two hour film. It would be ridiculous to film this movie to its exact details. It automatically needs to be assumed that the student’s change was over some time and it was definitely not overnight.

“Freedom Writers delivers the expected messages about hope and the ability to change one’s destiny, and does it in a manner that it is emotionally and intellectually satisfying.”

I couldn’t agree more with James statement. This quote clearly states and delivers the message that the movie was meant to send. For example with Ms. Erin’s students everyone refered to them as lacking in intelligence, trouble makers, and gang members. Ms. G, believed in all of her students and she also taught them that everyone makes mistakes and we learn from them.

“Freedom Writers is Hollywood’s version of a real-life tale of heroic teaching. Ironically, the film features almost zero teaching. Despite much pedagogical posturing, it doesn’t teach us much, either”.

I totally disagree with this person’s critique. The film could not have been clearer about how passionate and dedicated was Mrs. Erin towards her students and that she actually teaches with the heart. It also shows that anyone can change. It just takes time but it will happen. This film teaches us that no matter what color or race each of us are we deserve the same respect.
