Freedom Writers
|
Then tonight, I went to a pre-screening of "Freedom Writers," which will open this coming Friday.
How did she inspire these troubled kids? She bought them "Anne Frank's Diary" to read. And then, the kids start to throw away the guns and spend time to write diaries instead of engaging in gang activities. Sounds absurd? Well, it is, from what the movie shows. This is a laughable film full of cliche. None of the characters are original. They are more like the pickled vegetables in a jar on the shelf and I have been looking at them for years. I don't know who open the lid and let them out. And they taste just like what I expected. Hilary Swank definitely needs a new agent to pick up some good scripts. She has not done any good role except her winning roles in "Million Dollar Baby" and "Boys Don't Cry." Despite some impressive performance from a few young actors, this film is a disaster and I hate to see that it even gets made at all, of course, by Hollywood. My rating: 3 out of 10. |
