In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Freedom Writers (2007)
A drama directed by Richard LaGravenese for MTV films.
A new teacher gets unruly high school students to take an interest in her class.
This is one of those films that slips through my radar when I'm selecting what to watch. MTV is owned by Viacom, which used to be CBS and the ownership pyramid just continues from there. Why don't I trust a multinational corporation to make movies for me to watch? Because the ownership of the corporation can be traced back to any one of 13 ruling elite families that control the world. So what? These are the same groups of people who have depopulation goals WRITTEN IN STONE! These people stage false flag terror attacks and then appoint themselves to investigate after their lies are questioned.
Oh yeah, the movie...
It seemed like a Dead Poets' Society clone that got updated. The musical score was designed to be a tear jerker with popular music added to boost album sales. I really had a hard time seeing how the "dancing in the classroom" scene could be justified any other way. A decent plot brings this up to o.k..
