Before denying, please see what the film hopes to express

After watching the movie, I can't say I was moved, but I was very excited. After reading the comments, it is even more impulsive to express opinions.
Everyone's comments, good or bad, are professionally written. But I always think that if I use the words "this kind of teacher is a special case, it is not suitable for the education system that needs to face millions of children", "I will not watch this movie, I hope my teacher is like this". People who commented on this film were actually fooled by this film.
"Freedom Writer" wants to tell us that if you don't know about the Second World War and the concentration camps, we can know it in this way. As long as you can find inspiration and love in it, that's why you should study.
Regardless of free teaching or test-oriented education, if a teacher stands on the stage and says, "The Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese killed 300,000 Chinese", in order to let these children answer the questions correctly in the final exam, then he and the ignorant Rainie Yang made no difference.
Whether it is Erin, those who support the Freedom Writer organization, or teachers who continue traditional teaching, when he stands on the podium and talks about this history, it is to tell children how much suffering the Chinese have suffered. When we have to be strong, no teacher is The difference is that no teacher is exceptional.
Therefore, some people think that the film is to make the audience like the teacher and her teaching style, which can only prove that he watches the film superficially; and if he thinks that this kind of film is not attractive, it is understandable, maybe he is in "Love and Respect" has already been learned in the early years of education, and there is no need to take this lesson again.
Although the plot of this film is a little old-fashioned, the dramatic conflict is not obvious enough, and Swank's performance is a little jerky (it doesn't matter, that's how she can win awards); a humanistic film, conveying human nature: love, tolerance, hatred.. ., these are ourselves, where do we get so many opinions.
Therefore, it is possible to have an opinion on the "way", but we will never have the right to deny the correct original intention.

Freedom Writers quotes

  • Eva: White people wanting respect like they deserve it for free.

    Erin Gruwell: I'm a teacher, it doesn't matter what color I am.

    Eva: It's all about color, it's about people deciding what you deserve, about people wanting what they don't deserve. About whites thinking they own this world no matter what, you see, I hate white people.

    Erin Gruwell: You hate me? You don't even know me.

    Eva: I know what you can do. I saw white cops shoot my friend in the back for reaching into his pocket, his pocket! I saw white cops come into my house and take my father away for no REASON except they feel like it! Except because they can! And they can, because they're white. So I HATE white people on sight!

  • Margaret Campbell: You're an honor student. If you transfer to Mrs. Gruwell's class, think how that'll reflect on your records.

    Victoria: It doesn't matter to me, my grades will still be the same. Look, Ms. Campbell, when I first transferred to this school, I had a 4.0 average. But when I applied for advanced placement in English and Math, I was told it'd be better for me to be in a class of my own kind. Now, when I did get in, my teacher said "Victoria! It's not everyday one finds an African American student in AP and Honors courses!"... As if I didn't notice. And when I asked another Honors teacher why we don't read more black literature, she said, "We don't read black literature because of all the sex, drugs, cussing, and fornication". I thought a simple... "It's inappropriate"... would have sufficed.
