Jamal Wallace, a black teenager who studied
at a local high school at Bronx, New York City, is a main character in the
movie” Finding Forrester”. In this movie, Jamal is good at playing basketball
and often practices basketball in the court with his friends. They noticed
someone watching their playing from a window; thus, Jamal accepted the challenge
of finding out this strange people. After he successfully sneaked into this
stranger’s window, he left his bag at stranger’s apartment. When he walked on
the street and talked with a postman, he found his missing bag thrown down and
his writing had been commented by this stranger. Afterwards, he wanted more
help in his writing, visiting this stranger again. The stranger started to be familiar
with Jamal and helped his writing. Then, Jamal got the opportunity of studying
at a private school with scholarship based on his talented basketball skills and
high test scores. After Jamal entered this new school, Jamal’s new writing
professor, Crawford, asked students to read a book and write essays. Jamal
found this stranger who helps him is the author of this book and the winner of
Pulitzer Price, Forrester. Then, Jamal took Forrester go around and Forrester
told his story with his brother as the reason of his reclusive life to Jamal. After
Jamal submitted his essay, Crawford found that Jamal’s work is kind of similar to
Forrester’s points, and charged Jamal of plagiarism.Then, Jamal asked Forrester for help, but
Forrester refused this request. After losing the title of basketball match,
Jamal wrote a letter to Forrester which touched him. Finally, Forrester stood
out publicly to prove the integrity of Jamal.
In
my opinion, the plot of this movie is so unexpected. The two most unexpected
plots are Jamal found out Forrester was exactly the stranger who helped his
writing and Jamal took Forrester into the Yankee Stadium to give him this
birthday present. Although I can guess some connection between this stranger with
Forrester by the movie name “Finding Forrester”, but I originally thought this
stranger helped Jamal to find Forrester. In addition, I was surprised to see
Jamal was so attentive to notice the motion of Forrester to Yankee Stadium and
help him to get into Yankee Stadium.
