Half Nelson
This was a brillant movie so I wanted to write a quick post about as it as it’s most likely coming out on DVD soon. Half Nelson is an intense story about the inability to communicate pain. In this case, a white teacher is trying to connect. He can connect with his students but not in a relationship or with his parents. He eases his pain with drugs and at the same time tries to help a young student not get into selling drugs. If you have a chance check out this film…this trailer doesn’t do a great job of giving you a view of what the movie is like, but an idea. The movie is much more powerful. I think the film is about finding your role or place. An arena where you are wanted and can make changes in people. But often we fail to see the changes we need to make in our selves or can’t make on our own, alone. Watch it..
