I'm buying second hand like I did the Freedom Writers movie. I can't support them after what they did to Stephen Colbert.

She is systematically marginalized to do low-wage, unstable work that affords me the ability to purchase services, products, and a lifestyle because of race/gendered/class/citizenship privilege. The managing of palliative solutions to her problems also created a career for me. What I did not understand was my own…

positive · AI labelView post →youtu.be/dPoi4hktrJQ?... Obviously this movie is problematic but I keep thinking about Eva's rant about white people in Freedom Writers. "You hate me? You don't even know me. " "I KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO. "
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching Freedom Writers. An old film that I’ve never seen before. It’s fantastic
positive · AI labelView post →Every teacher I know has a teacher movie they love. "Dangerous Minds", ""Lean on Me", "Stand and Deliver" or "Freedom Writers" are what I usually hear. My teacher movie is "Sunmer School". He just wants to connect with his students and is all about their growth.
neutral · AI labelView post →Idk we need a “roll out the big back tv” day at work. But unlike at school it’s not to watch the white savior movie The Help/The Blind Side/Freedom Writers
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Freedom Writers for the first time. I love Hilary Swank but for some reason thought this was about poetry. I was way off. Great movie, even more so because it was true. This is what teachers can be! And not only in the extreme case either. Powerful!
positive · AI labelView post →I was watching the movie, “Freedom Writers” tonight and it inspired me. If we could get thousands of people to write letters, stamped letters of how we feel about what is happening and send them to representatives around the country, this would impact our world.
neutral · AI labelView post →i couldn't stay focused on the movie Ghost in the shell. Just watched Freedom Writers which came on immediately after and could not take my mind and eyes off it! Great movie!
positive · AI labelView post →We really counting Freedom Writers? That film is white as hell in how it presents it's story.
negative · AI labelView post →There was also the LA Riots. Hell, it was a theme in the non-fiction film, Freedom Writers (from pre-MAGA Paramount), which was based on a true story of Erin Gruwell and her students. www.youtube.com/watch?v=miz1...
neutral · AI labelView post →"90s was 'peak normalcy'" with race relations? Freedom Writers disagrees. That film even had archive footage of the LA race riots.
neutral · AI labelView post →(1/2) I suddenly just remembered the movie Freedom Writers. It's a movie where a white woman becomes an English teacher at an inner city high school full of people of color and teaches them to write about their feelings or something?? and one point in the movie she dead ass

neutral · AI labelView post →WTH is up with the Pluto App? I guess because it’s free they can just totally suck now. 6 commercials every 3 min break. Knocks you out of a movie you’re watching, shoots you to another movie. Maybe Paramount just doesn’t like the movie Freedom Writers, too woke. Thanks Paramount

neutral · AI labelView post →Today's Mary Worth quotevestigation: the quote from Miep Gies (who sheltered Anne Frank) turns out to be from the "Miep Gies" character in the 2007 white-savior film Freedom Writers starring Hilary Swank. And a *lot* of mainstream news sources repeat it as authentic. Oh well. @jfruh.bsky.social

positive · AI labelView post →I just finished watching Freedom Writers again for the first time in many years and this is what I feel is missing right now in film. What happened to the movies that actually told a story that meant something? We used to have so many movies of true stories and it seems like all that went away

neutral · AI labelView post →That is a long and complicated story that won't fit in a skeet, but it also involves the teacher Hilary Swank played in Freedom Writers, promo for a Netflix film that does not exist, and nearly getting arrested for playing basketball in a driveway.

neutral · AI labelView post →Wanting some relief from the tragic, hateful absurdity of US politics, I replayed an old movie, The Freedom Writers, based on a true story - an uplifting story of transformation within the crushing confines of a broken system. But coming back to today's rebreaking of lives it made me sadder.

neutral · AI labelView post →So... anyone remember the movie Freedom Writers? Based on Erin Gruwell and her students in early 90s California when racial tensions were flaring the most (invoked the 92 riots and everything)? Hadn't seen that movie since Highschool. My highschool had it on DVD and several of my classes showed it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Being a teacher in this century has been traumatic. It’s much more Half Nelson than it is Freedom Writers (& that movie is so fucking gross—white saviourism + female martyrdom). It’s much more being ground down by the machine than it is stopping the gears w our own bodies. We are up against too much

The movie is about a teacher, Erin Gruwell, and her students at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California. The book "Freedom Writers Diary" was published in 1999. MUST WATCH 💗 #FreedomWriters
