Finding Forester review


Finding Forester is a movie about a teen aged African American living in the broncs who is secretly smart at writing and has a natural talent for basket ball. No one knows he is good at writing because his marks remain at a C average but when his writing teacher get his test marks they are remarkable and tells his mother. Then the boy who's name is Jamal(Rob Brown) gets an opportunity to go to a different school for better education and he takes it.



Sean Connery who plays William Forrester in the film is a famous writer of a book and is considered a literature genius but thought that when he wrote the book people where saying what they thought he was trying to say with it and he did not like this. So he locked himself up in his house for years writing and watching the outdoors threw his front window. When Jamal breaks into Williams house for a dare that him and his friends have he gets caught and forgets his books there and will reads and corrects the books and then the two of them meet the next day when Jamal realizes that he read threw them.





What I would consider the theme of this movie is family and friendship because William didn't have any friends for a long time but when he meets Jamal he seems that Will becomes happy compared to before and Will soon realizes just how important that friendship really is. I think that the theme of this movie is provided very clear fully threw the story and i agree with it completely.




One of the small conflicts of the film is between Jamal and one of the other kids on his basketball team because the other kid thinks he is better than Jamal at basket ball when they are actually about the same.
