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.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! I watched it twice in a row. And cried several times! It is a heart warming movie that ALL kids would love. They write in journals about there experiences and it was just wonderful! Hilary Swank was truly amazing! Wonderful!

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!

Fantastic film will move you to tears
This was a fantastic and inspiring film. I'm very surprised that it wasn't nominated for any Oscars. Maybe it might be a bit familiar to most people, but I sure didn't know about any of the stuff they were taking about. I had never heard of the Rodney King riots, and I was very surprised by how much I didn't know about the issues in this film. It moved me greatly, and some of it confused me. Nonetheless, it is a fantastic film that mature kids will greatly enjoy. Hilary Swank at her best!

This flim is good and bad..
This film not only has bad examples, it also has a message. The bad examples transform into good example at the end

i give this movie five stars. Ithingthe movie was great. the movie is about teenagers that were in gangs or live around gangs and don't care about their education. My favorite part of the movie was when Eva was telling her story because it was really sad when she said that white people could do whatever they liked to Mexicans. My favorite character was Eva because she was a fun and understanding person. Definately go see the movie!
