Professor Forrester seems to follow John Dewey’s ideas, one of the greatest educators from his era. How? Well, Professor Forrester is like a guide for Jamal. Professor Forrester gives the instruction and then Jamal need to spend long section of practice by himself. He usually spends a whole night writing an essay. Also the fact that Jamal practice for hours and hours means to me that without practice a writer cannot became good at it. As Professor Forrester says, in order to write you need to write.
Finding Forrester is a movie full of emotion. It is a masterpiece from the beginning to the end. There were times when I wanted to begin to cry. I did not feel the nearly three hours. I will be honest, I think that the most important message that the movie has is how many people regardless their background and ages as Jamal and Professor Forrester do in the movie and become best friends. Also, the same way we learn from other people, other people learn from us. We have something to teach others even though we don’t notice it. Forrester teaches Jamal how to be a good writer and Jamal helps Professor Forrester to overcome his awful past.
