Released on in December 19, 2000, the movie Finding Forester is a great example of a character based movie. The main character Jamal Walker is a young African American teen who loves to write, but is held back because the circumstances of his life. Restrictions hold Rob back from expressing himself truly. During the beginning of the movie Rob notices an old white man watching them every day as they play basketball. Jamal was told by his friends to rob this old man, willingly he accepts. The night he decides to execute this was a bad decision solely because the old white man was awake. Once Jamal realizes he is awake he bolts out of his apartment and drops his backpack and in his backpack is his writing journal and school stuff. Jamal eventually builds up the confidence to retrieve his stuff. When he gets to the apartment and gets his stuff and realizes it was messed with but how? This old white man (Sean Connery) gave him notes on his journal. Why?
Sean Connery’s character is played perfectly. His mysterious being is a perfect role for Sean. Mr. Connery is a great example of a solo driving writer and how he is like kept to himself for all that time. On the other hand Jamal’s character was a little shaky I believe it could have been played better but it was still pretty good. Based on the website Rotten Tomatoes critics gave this movie a 6.5/10. I don’t agree with this I think it should have gotten a 7.5 or 8 out if 10. Finding Forrester won 4 different awards. This movie I believe is worth buying, it has a excellent plot and even better actors. In result I would recommend either buying or watching the movie. It was enjoyed thoroughly by me.
