Movie Review on Finding Forrester

“Finding Forrester” is Columbia film that was produced in 2000. The main character in the film is Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) and William Forrester (Sean Connery). The film is about a sixteen year old that goes to a private school. He also plays basketball and is very good at it.

The film was about a sixteen year old boy, named Jamal Wallace. He attended a public school in the Bronx. He was later offered to got to a private school. Later on in the film, Jamal began to have conflict with his professor (Professor Crawford). Professor Crawford did not believe that Jamal’s writing was actually his writing. Jamal has a lot of interest in playing basketball and is also a very good player, so he joined the team at the private school.

The character William Forester, reminded me of the character Boo Radley in the film “To Kill a Mockingbird”. I found these characters alike because they both preferred to stay inside.It was like they both were scared to meet people and make new friends. I also compared Jamal Wallace to Jem and Scout. These characters are alike because Jamal is trying to understand why he is being judged by Professor Crawford. He realized it was because of his color. In “To Kill a Mockingbird” Jem and Scout were trying to understand why Tom Robinson was judged because of his color.

“Finding Forrester” is a great film. The feature I liked best in this film was the acting. When I watch a film, the thing that catches my attention first is the actors. In this film, the actor that caught my attention first was Jamal because he was very expressive about himself and his feelings. One of the other actors that caught my attention was William Forrester. Overall I thought this film was great and would recommend it to anyone.

In this film the theme is the gift of friendship. This is the theme because Jamal and William were the two most unlikely people to become friends. At the end of the film they were like family. This film was great.
