The write for freedom

Freedom Writers a film that came out in 2007 was directed by Richard LaGravenese. It is a good film. The cast included Hilary Swank as Erin Gruwell, Scott Glenn as Steve Gruwell, Patrick Dempsey as Scott Casey, Imelda Staunton as Margaret Campbell.

This is a movie about a Erin Gruwell, played by Hilary Swank, gets a job at Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach, California. She thinks that she is going to like her students but as the the first day comes along she realizes that her students are troubled and abandoned. Erin then realizes that she has the opportunity to change that. Richard LaGravenese has directed other great films. P.S I love you is a romantic film, compared to Freedom Writers which is a docudrama, the films are completely different. P.S I love you has a lot of romance, sadness, and humor. Freedom Writers has a lot of sadness, humor, and reality.


The actors in Freedom Writers were very good actors for being young and most of them were just new to the whole acting business. The script was great and it was well written. The music was excellent for the movie because the music needed to influence the actors and actress and it did that perfectly. The message is clear. Fight for what you want, get your message out there and things will change.
