...you must watch this, it is veri inspiring movie....
i lve this movie,, I hope every youth and teacher or student must watch this kind of movie, because it make us realize that we had a freedom to express or true emotion in a way of writing it. It makes me feel that I am so blessed that I don't have a love ones kill in font of me, and I live in a peaceful place and have a peaceful life. I hope everyone must appreciate this movie and gain a knowledge how life is important.

A Good Movie For High School Juniors and Seniors
Violence is an issue for me. I don't like having people, particularly in my home watch very violent films. It is rather violent, but does deliver a certain message that may be very important to certain individuals.

Great moving and inspirational movie for tweens but not for young kids.
TERRIFIC movie!!! A lot of swearing including two uses of the the f- word but you can only hear one well. There is some blood and shooting and disturbing fights between kids but nothing to bad. It also may be harder to understand for younger audiences. Very inspirational.

GREAT STORY
When i watched this movie i could not believe that it was a true story that only happened in 1994! I just couldent believe what these highschool kids where going through. Some of it was so horrible and cruel it kinda scared me. But i still love it and its a wonderful story!!!!!!! The iffy stuff about this movie is highschool student's disrespect there teachers. They also call the teacher swears and eachother swears. Theres a LOT of vilonce. Including one disturbing image of a dead man with blood coming out of his back. Also there are several gunshots and some talk about the horrors of the holocaust.

Why, I first watched it on a youth TV station.
Everything about this movie just drags me in. It's realistic, it relates to teens, it's touching, and had great meaning. The bad stuff we can handle; It's meant for meaning, and everyone can learn from it, I don't have to say no more.

It was a great movie
I love the movie. It really taught me something about how other people have to live. It taught me that I am very lucky. I saw how some people live. When I saw the movie I wanted to help people who live this way, or people who go to a schools like that. there are some bloody violence but over all it's ok. But if your 12 or younger I would see it with an adult.

Inspirational
Freedom Writers was a very attention-grabbing film. It made me realize how lucky I was to not have to worry about being shot the moment I stepped out my front door. In the beginning of the movie, I knew Mrs. G (Hilary Swank) was in for a big shock on her first day of teaching. She adjusted fairly quickly to the attitudes of her class, but she didn't give up on them like other teachers in the school had. She knew that they were yearning to be understood. If all teachers were like her (and this was based on a true story), I think the world would be a better place. Freedom Writers is a MUST see!
