Finding Forester

This is actually a nice movie where the story is really interesting but weakness of this movie is the movement of this movie is quiet slow and the language assents that used is quiet hard to understand and not able to enjoy the movie. This movie is about Jamal Wallace an inner-city kid from the Bronx who has an aptness at basketball and a genius at writing. Jamal Wallace who scored exceptionally high on a state wide standardized exam and being an exceptionally good basketball player is sent to a prestigious prep school in Manhattan. He soon befriends the reclusive writer, William Forrester. While always a C student, Jamal comes to the attention of a prestigious New York prep school when he scores highly on his standardized tests. While Jamal is given a heavy load at his new school, both he and the school know that the real reason they took him on is for his prowess on the court. Befriended by fellow student Claire and helped along by Pulitzer-prize winning author and recluse William Forrester, Jamal pursues his dreams both on and off the court while overcoming obstacles placed by his bitter literature teacher. As Jamal is shaped by Forrester, he finds that he is changing the old writer as well, forcing him to confront his past...and his future. The friendship leads to William to overcome his reclusiveness and for Jamal to overcome the racial prejudices and pursue his true dream - writing. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181536/plotsummary)
This movie can be an inspiration for those who have interest in writing but afraid of the comments that other people give on their artistic work, where here their affective filter hinder them to move forward, so they way this story portrayed could change their mind and continue their writing without bothering others comments on them.
