I watched this film as it popped up on my Netflix home page, the thing that roped me in initially was the promo video of when Ms. Gruwell plays Keep Ya Head Up by Tupac. I pressed play and started to watch the movie. I was so moved as I got really connected to the characters and each of their backstories. The stories of teenagers who were just a few months older than me so different than the life I am currently living it made me think real hard about how some are raised in such a different and more rough way, how different their lives are, and how many hardships they have faced already at the ages of 14 and 15. It also made me realize the true discrimination and racism that so many people experience on a daily, it's sad to see this happening as really we should all be united as one and I plan to carry this belief throughout my whole life. So many times throughout this movie I got chills running through my body, from the actors, the stories, the music, and the respect and admiration I had for Erin Gruwell. When I realized it was based on a true story it made me cry tears of happiness to think that such an ordinary teacher had come into a class and transformed so many lives for the better. Erin Gruwell inspired them, gave them hope to live their lives and go to college and have better wellbeing than what was currently being given to them. This movie is one that will stick with me for most likely my whole life, I have never felt such strong emotions and connections to a movie, but the story of the freedom writers will stick with me for life.

Absolutely loved it!! Zack Snyder was brilliant!

!!!! A few spoilers for Wonder Woman 1984 !!!! This film was incredible! I loved every single bit of it! The film that I had been waiting for since December 2019 was just as amazing as I had thought it would be. I loved the nostalgic 80s themes and quite realistic characters. I loved how the villains aren't just plain evil they are very human and show the evil qualities that humans can value. I know a lot of people say that the plot was confusing and didn't make sense as well as that the first scenes weren't needed. I believe that although the plot was quite complex, it all added up if you really listened and watched what was happening. Young Diana is taught about the importance of truth and to not lie as well as the competition she is participating in which was reflecting Asteria(The Golden Warrior) as they have a competition honouring her. So in fact the first few scenes were actually needed to understand the whole movie. People say the main villain of the movie Max Lord is based completely on Donald Trump, I don't think that is the case as there were many buisnessmen like that in the 80s so it it just a representation of the time. I believe that the whole movie was overall very good as the plot was interesting and all connected while the characters were super good as well. The one thing in this movie that really stood out was the acting done by the cast. Gal Gadot, Chris Pine and Kristen Wiig especially, did inspiring and brilliant work in their performances. Their acting really made the movie shine. Definitely should go see in cinemas!!!
