A school story to think about!! This great movie makes us thinking how to manage school problems and violence in the family or in our society. A very realistic film well packed as a thriller and with excellent actors. I was not bored from the start to the end. There were many plots and I recommend this film to everybody. I saw it already twice so don't miss it. Luigi Di Pilla Apr 1, Details Edit.

But because it is based on a true story of at-risk students attending Woodrow Wilson High in Long Beach, a voluntarily integrated school, I have to avoid accusing it of being derivative and offer that it relates the essential truth about education: Most students have a voice if a teacher can find it; most students can thrive when a teacher creates a sense of family amid chaos, as Emily Gruwell did in the early '90's of Rodney King riots in Los Angeles.
The diaries her students wrote inspired students around the country to do the same. But rising above the petty carping that includes skepticism about transformation of unruly kids into real students within a year, I have to admit it happened because of the transforming power of love and words. As in Charlotte's Web, both ingredients are potent reformers of the disaffected. Gruwell sacrifices, as cases of true love sometimes require, her personal freedom and loses her marriage for the higher good of the young people she teaches.
Admittedly, her slacker husband, Scott Patrick Dempsey , doesn't deserve such a gifted wife, and her crusty dad, Steve a monumentally weathered Scott Glenn , has some stereotypical responses to his daughter's choices. Most of all I object to those actors as students: They are way too old to be playing 14 and 15 year olds. Surely there are gifted teens who could do the job!
Overall, however, the film rings true about the magic a dedicated teacher can do with rebellious but malleable teens. For those of us who still toil in the fields of education, Freedom Writers reminds us why we love a profession that gives us a chance to save souls in the only way we can certify outside the uncertain faith of religion.
This film is a superior entry in a long history of teaching brought to its ideal form in film. Details Edit. Release date January 5, United States. Germany United States. English Spanish. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 2h 3min. Related news.
