After watching the "Freelance Writer" on Tuesday night, I checked the movie online and it turned out that it was based on a true event. "Freelance Writer", also known as "Street Writer", is also generally regarded as the 21st century version of "Blackboard Jungle". The film is adapted from real events, and perhaps it is precisely because of its authenticity that it has a shaking and profound power. Of course, some of the plots of the film are suspected of being sensational, but fortunately there are not many, so it will not make people who don't like sensational feel disgusted. Of course, I'm a very emotional person, so I really can't control my tears when the truth is revealed. After the black youth Rodney King incident, Ain, a female teacher born in the wealthy class, very idealistic, and new to the school, taught in an ethnically mixed class at Welsh Middle School in Long Beach, California. At first, the students regarded her as nothing. Or ridiculed and ridiculed. After several investigations, Ain gradually realized the psychological shadow and impact of racial discrimination, poverty, helplessness and indifference and exile on these children. Depressed teens grow into compassionate and socially responsible people, and female teacher Ain transforms from a "rookie teacher" to a true soul engineer who can heal the soul. It can be said that "Freedom Writer" quite sharply reflects the status quo of part of the lower-level society in the United States, detailing the education and survival problems of the lower-level teenagers whose lives are filled with poverty, injustice, racial violence, family division, and gang struggle. This time, Richard LaGravenes, the screenwriter of "Long Dreams of the Covered Bridge", no longer created a beautiful dream, but derived a real and sad human drama. In the film, when Ain finally uses a special way (letting students write their own stories) to get students to talk about their upbringing, neglected emotions and despised self-esteem, the film begins to enter the climax stage... Ai En began to realize the problem when she intercepted a racial caricature circulating in the classroom. She asked the students if they knew about the Holocaust. Only one white student raised her hand, and when she asked who had been shot , except the white student, all the other African-Asian-Latino students raised their hands... There is also a very important plot in the film. Ain drew a red line in the classroom, asking in turn those with a gang background, those who have been in prison, Students with one or more friends who were shot stand on the line, so the audience sees these kids stand over and over again, especially as they silently recite the names of dead friends on the line, the ice in their hearts begins Melted... Ain also fully understands - murderous violence, racism and even hatred are the source of the students' anger and rebellion. Ain bought diaries to send to students, encouraged them to write their own "Annie Diaries," and self-funded a trip away from Long Beach to visit a museum commemorating the Holocaust, and invited Holocaust survivors to chat with students, at his own expense Buy meaningful books for students... The children gradually revealed in their diaries their seemingly cynical and foul-mouthed fears, loneliness and scarred side, while using the pen to talk and open their hearts, the pressure on their hearts The cloud began to lighten and dissipate. There are also particularly difficult students, such as Eva, who is also an important clue in the film. This gangster Latino girl witnessed her father's wrongful imprisonment as a child, and she has recently become a frontal witness to a shooting. She, her classmate and a Cambodian refugee happened to be there. In order to save her father in prison, Eva must give perjury... However, Ain's influence put her in a dilemma, and finally, Eva withstood the test of morality and conscience, and told the truth in court , even though she was beaten by gangsters and ignored by her father, she had Ain's understanding and support, and gained the respect and friendship of her Cambodian classmates. Ion Grouvel approached the confused kids in the fall of 1994, and in reality the kids organized a fundraising concert called Echoes of the Soul in 1997, using the money raised to pay for a tour to Washington and brought his diary to the Secretary of Education. Later, they also traveled to New York, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Sarajevo to experience the life described in the books their teachers gave them. In 2002, Ian Gruwell and these grown-up "freelance writers" established the Iron Gruwell Education Project (EGEP) to help teenagers across the United States who share their experiences. . In the film, Ain always mentions the word "change", such as "the taste of change". Those students who have tried to change the taste have gained new strength and embarked on a meaningful life path. In fact, this kind of story is quite cliché, because the dedication of work and the meticulous care for the students caused her to have a conflict with her husband, etc. However, because this movie is adapted from a true story, let it be It is more convincing, and the psychological "stimulation" of the audience is deeper. In short, it is still a very good film. 2017.11.1
