Movie:Finding Forrester
Director: Gus Van Sant
Cast:Sean Connery,Rob Brown,Murray Abraham
This movie is good for all high school students, since the movie about a high school student. Jamal a high school is really good at writing, well beyond excellent. However he hides his talents at school since he doesn't want to be seen as unusual. Therefore, to keep him busy Jamal plays basketball and he is pretty good at it too. While he plays ball with his friends, there is always a man (William Forrester) looking at them through the window (his apartment). William is an author, and he writes and reads a lot too. Jamal develops a good relationship with him. He gets some advice from William on life, and on writing. When the whole school has to do like SAT test, Jamal did pretty well. For this reason a private school wanted Jamal to come to their school for free, and Jamal does accept the invitation. In there Jamal got an assignment of reading one of Forrester’s books. Jamal asks Forrester for info on him, and Forrester does give the some info about himself, but he asks Jamal to not tell anyone about anything. At one point Jamal hand in an essay that he wrote with Forrester but it was Jamal’s work, The professor accuses Jamal of plagiarizing since his writing is well beyond excellent. How Jamal solves this problem, how William helps him, and how he overcome basketball competitions is what the rest of the movie is all about.
I find the ending to be really sad.
I will recommend this movie to you all, cause it talks about how your environmental surroundings can affect the way you choose to do well in school.

Hi, Mina:
sounds like Finding Forester has a number of life lessons especially for high school students.
Sometimes when producers make the movie, the lessons get weighed down in the plot but it sounds like this movie struck the right balance.
