MOVIE REVIEW

Finding Forrester

                Finding Forrester is a film written by Mike Rich, who became his producer Laurence Mark and ultimately comes the idea of a film maker, is Gus Van Sant. The film is published by SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT COLUMBIA a company, in the end this film came before us and is ready for us to enjoy.

                This film tells about a black teenager named Jamal Wallace, played by Rob Brown. He is gifted in writing a paper, but no one knows even himself. His talent is often seen even in playing basketball. On a day when he was playing basketball with his friends, looks like someone was watching from behind the windows of the building which is right in front of the basketball court. Every time he played basketball, there's always watching from behind the window of the building. Because curiosity grew, finally one night he and his friends decided to get into the building. Jamal entered the building itself, quietly and watched him go around the corner.

                When he found the knife, then he put it into the bag. Suddenly appeared an old man surprised him and he scuttled out of the building. But Jamal forgetting something left his bag and he realized when his mother asked about her purse and her friend reminded that when out of the building Jamal did not bring her purse back. That's where the real story, where he began communicating with parents who are in the building. Apparently the man is William Forrester, played by Sean Connery, a famous writer who disappeared in those early days before the parents. From there, Jamal began to hone writing skills assisted by Forrester. Eventually Jamal really prove that he has a talent for writing.

                Jamal is a teenager who has a tremendous personal, behind taciturnity there is a huge potential. The proof he was recommended to study in private school, which we know is very difficult to get in and go to school there. It made his mother and older brother proud, and very inappropriate for our example. This film reminds us that everyone is given the same potential by God, but the extent to which someone is honing his talent and trying to make really channeled. It also gives inspiration to us that we should be able to optimize the potential that God has bestowed upon us.

                Besides, our efforts in achieving goals are not easy. Surely we will see a time when other people do not believe in us or vice versa, we are hard to find someone who can we trust to us to cooperation. But Jamal proves, with the trials he faced, did not deter her and seemed to make all the bitterness he experienced as a valuable lesson for him, for the mesa front and the formation of character. Its essence is the formation of our character is determined by the extent to which we can control, deal with and resolve everything that happens to us. If we manage to solve the problems we face, utilize luck that we can, and then we have been declared to be a winner.

                In my opinion, this movie really gives motivation hello to us to be able to explore, refine and optimize the potential that exists in us.
