Movie time again.

"Finding Forrester" is a very intelligent movie. It shows a sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (newcomer Rob Brown) and his friends ritually meet at the basketball court every day, releasing their concerns in a sport that frees their minds and invigorates their spirits. While at the very same moment, far above the court through a socially fissile window, the curious eyes of William Forrester (Sean Connery) look on. The boys are keenly aware that he may be watching, but they have no idea who he really is. One night on a dare, Jamal sneaks into the old man's apartment through the partially open window and after a quick exploration of his abode, accidentally leaves behind his backpack; inside rests his notebook full of writings. The next day, his pack is tossed to the street below. But to Jamal's shock, his notebook has been inundated with ink marks, some critical of his writing style, others captivated with the poetic meaning behind Jamal's conjoined words. He returns to the man's apartment (this time in a more practical manner, going to the front door), and asks him if he wouldn't mind offering his opinion on some of his other writings. After overcoming their initial hesitation in allowing each other into their lives, the two strangers finally break down the communication barriers and set the first building blocks of a lasting friendship in place. In my opinion, this movie would be enjoyed by writers. It sure will inspire all the writers out there. However, it is still a good experience to watch this type of movie.
