Why is everyone so vocal about this formulaic trash? Let's think a moment: What drives the film "industry"? Okay, we know it isn't the public welfare. You can rule out innovative plots, too. The truth doesn't carry any weight, either. Must be... Anyway, when something re-hashed, pre-chewed, and half-digested comes out of Hollywood, just follow the money trail. Hilary Swank is "hot" this week, so she has to do the "serious" film to keep the public satisfied with her minimal talent, because the trailer says so. So go see "Freedom Writers" (god, I love that title!) and listen to the Oscar buzzzzzz... Idealistic teachers will get weepy at this movie, because it speaks to their self-image as underpaid martyrs, while impressionable teenagers will buy into notion that minorities are unable to help themselves without a white savior to do it in public schools. This film falls right in the middle of the tried and proved Hollywood path, and in the same ruts.
