Expert: Quinn Date: 6/24/2008 Subject: Can't remeber the title of a movie...
Question Hi Quinn,
I was reading your responses to other people's questions and apparently you're good at this so... here goes. I saw a movie probably between 5 & 10 years ago about this black kid from the Broncs who turns out to be a genius. In the beginning of the movie, he is involved in a gang and tries to rob some old guy in an apartment complex but leaves his back pack there. The old guy hangs the backpack in the window and the black kid goes back to the apartment and the old guy starts giving this kid an advanced education. By the end of the movie, he's attending some prestigious university... any clue??? Sound familiar???
Your help would be much appreciated,
Brandon
Answer Hi Brandon, the movie is called "Finding Forrester".
"Because of scoring exceptionably high on a state wide standardized exam and being an exceptionally good basketball player Jamal Wallace is sent to a prestigious prep school in Manhattan. He soon befriends the reclusive writer, William Forrester. The friendship leads to William to overcome his reclusivness and for Jamal to overcome the racial prejudices and pursue his true dream - writing."
