Life is interesting when friendship and loyalty are found at the most
unexpected place and time. Two different people, a 16-year old African
American kid in the Bronx and a reclusive, eccentric award-winning
writer, accidentally meet and become friends. Their friendship changes
one another in the best of ways. This movie will renew our belief in the
human spirit and inspire goodness in all of us. If you're looking for an
uplifting and inspirational movie, look no further.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE...I know have an urge to buy a typewriter/make
BETTER Videos in 2007,, lol's
We all have movies that we feel belong to us personal and this is the
movie for me & hopefully All of Us!.
Quotes:
Forrester: Let me ask you a question... those two foul shots at the end
of the game... did you miss them, or did you *miss* them?
Jamal: Not exactly a soup question, now is it?
Forrester: My name is William Forrester.
[points to 'writers wall of fame' pictures]
Forrester: I'm that one.
Forrester: Punch the keys, for God's sake!
Forrester: You're the man now, dog!
Jamal: Man, fu*k you William! You wanna know what the real bullsh!t
is? How about you let me take on this one cause you're too damn
scared to walk out that door and do something for somebody else.
You're too damn scared, man! That's the only reason.
Forrester: [throws glass against wall and breaks it] You don't know a
G-D'd thing about reason; There are no reasons! Reasons why some
of us live and why some of us don't! Fortunately for you, you have
decades to figure that out!
Jamal: Yeah, and what's the reason in having a file cabinet full of writing
and keeping the shit locked so nobody can read it? What is that man?
I'm done with this sh!t.
Forrester: I have an homeland that I have not seen for too long.
Jamal: Oh, you mean Ireland?
Forrester: Scotland, for God's sakes!
Jamal: I'm messing with you, man.
If I ask you not to say anything to anybody...
There will be no questions about me, or why there was only one book!
Forrester: The key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an
unexpected time.
Jamal: I came back to see, if you could help me out with my writing.
Forrester: How about 5,000 words on why you should stay the fu*k out
of my house!
Forrester: No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft
with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is...
to write, not to think!
Jamal: "The rest of those who have gone before us cannot steady the
unrest of those to follow." You wrote that in your book.
Prof. Robert Crawford: [to Jamal] Perhaps your skills do reach farther
than basketball.
Jamal: "Further"
Prof. Robert Crawford: What?
Claire Spence: [to Jamal] Don't...
Jamal: [to Crawford] You said that my skills reached "farther" than
basketball. "Farther" relates to distance, "further" is a definition of
degree. You should have said "further".
Prof. Robert Crawford: Are you challenging me, Mr. Wallace?
Jamal: Not anymore than you challenged Coleridge.
Prof. Robert Crawford: Perhaps the challenge should have been directed
elsewhere. "It is a melancholy truth that even...
Jamal: "Great men have poor relations" Dickens.
Prof. Robert Crawford: "You will hear the beat of...”
Jamal: Kipling.
Prof. Robert Crawford: "All great truths begin...”
Jamal: Shaw.
Prof. Robert Crawford: "Man is the only animal...
Jamal: "That blushes. or needs to." Mark Twain.
Jamal: Come on, Professor...
Prof. Robert Crawford: [shouting] Get out!
Prof. Robert Crawford: [whispered] Get... out.
Jamal: Yeah. I'll get out.
I love the quote in Finding Forester,
When Sean Connery ... William Forrester & Rob Brown ... Jamal
Wallace
Say: The question you ask me here is more the type question asked
over a bowl of soup,, I always try and put these types of moments in
conversation in perspective with people, trying to do justice the meaning
of certain questions, need for a response, but as
