Fantastic story of teen struggling to be recognized as a writer not just a black athlete
Finding Forrester is an amazingly uplifting story about a teen breaking stereotypes and finding himself through writing with a famous author becoming his mentor. It starred Sean Connery as writer William Forrester and Rob Brown as Jamal Wallace a high school basketball star who really wanted to be a writer. It was directed by Gus Van Sant.<br /><br />The story plays upon the opposites attract trope. Forrester wrote one hugely popular book but couldn’t handle the fame and became a recluse similar to J.D. Salinger after he wrote Catcher In The Rye. Jamal lived a dual life. He was a basketball star, did just enough to get by in a public high school, but was hugely intelligent, was widely read, and aspired to become a writer. He didn’t want anyone to know about his dream because he was afraid he wouldn’t be accepted or would be made fun of. When he starts going to a private school to play ball his talents are disregarded and looked down upon because he's black. Forrester lived in Jamal’s neighborhood in the Bronx and the two start an unlikely relationship. Jamal comes over to Forrester’s every day to write and be critiqued and inspired. It is not just the learned white man teaching the rough black kid. In fact, Jamal helps Forrester as well. They weren’t father and son as it might appear initially. They were actually friends, and co-stars in the film.<br /><br />In addition to the inspirational story Rob Brown had an amazing tale as well. He’d never acted before, tried out for the part and got it. He told Entertainment Weekly that his main inspiration for answering the casting call was to get money to help his family out with their bills. Gus Van Sant found a true talent. Brown held down his role and was able to be the equal to Sean Connery on screen.<br /><br />It’s all these factors together that makes Finding Forrester so special.<br />C
