Finding Forrestor

This is a movie that I do not get tired after watching over and over again. William Forrestor is a gifted reclusive writer who wrote only one novel in his life. He stopped writing after his novel, Avalon Landing was published as he was upset with all the critics. Jamal Wallace, a black student who scored extremely well in a states test. Jamal break into William's house as his friends dared him to. While in the house, Jamal was surprised by William and ran away leaving behind his bag containing his notes. This is the start of the relationship between a master and his apprentice. Jamal's writings improved dramatically under the personal tutelage of Forrestor. In school, Jamal offended a frustrated Professor Crawford who thinks he knows a lot about writings. Crawford accuses Jamal of plagiarism. Jamal maintains his integrity of not revealing his relationship with Forrestor and was in danger of expulsion from the prestigious private school. At the last minute, Forrestor came up to reveal the truth in the annual competition of novel writings. Jamal was vindicated in a heroic fashion and the story end with Forrest willing all his books and apartment to Jamal when he died.
