There are
six questions asking the relationship between main character Jamal in the movie
Finding Forrester and plagiarism. Although, there are all thoughtful questions for the plagiarism, I want to discuss
two of the interesting questions in this blog. First of all, the question
whether the Jamal's plagiarism influence the decision that Jamal is a very good
writer. In terms of myself, the answer is no, because plagiarism is just a part
of the Jamal's academic career. Specifically speaking, in the movie, Jamal hand
in his final paper with some paragraphs copying from the Forrester's works in
the situation Jamal do not know Forrester's work has been published in the New
York Times before. Furthermore, a good writer is defined as a author who have an
unique view towards the society or can expertly use his own words to encourage
people. Due to this point, Jamal absolutely is a good writer because Jamal has
his own unique opinion towards some of the societies' issues and use expertly words
to show his opinion.
Secondly,
other question is that in the basketball championship game, whether the Jamal
is intentionally miss the two shoots or not. In my opinion, Jamal miss the two
shoots on purpose. Specifically speaking, before this game begin, Jamal acquire
a punishment that can no longer stay in the school. This punishment may give
Jamal a thought that the winning of the game is not his matter, so he can treat
this two shoots unceremoniously.
Moreover, before Jamal throw his ball, he has a eye contact with his professor
who gives the punishment for Jamal and his best friend Clare.
Finally, although there are several aspect
talking about the plagiarism, this is not a good movie to discuss the
plagiarism. The reason why this is not a appropriate movie is its main thesis
is the changes in Forrester and Jamal instead of plagiarism.
