Title: Near Excellence...
Review: Excellent movie. The topics it touches up on are real and true.Movie is about this teacher (Swank) who is going to teach Freshman and Sophomore English at a Los Angeles school during the 1990's. At this time, there are a lot of racial issues and the school she is teaching at has basically gone down the drain. Theres fights everyday, students carry weapons, etc. She begins to learn the lives of her students and attempts to make a change so that her students can succeed.Excellent story. It portrays very nicely how these types of issues can lead to deadly violence and how the right education and support can help people succeed. Great acting. Great plot. Great directing.It does start to drag a little at the end and the ending is too perfect, but its minute details that dont keep this movie from being one of the best ive seen in a while. And surprisingly, it was associated with MTV films, who's films are mediocre at best.
