In my Career Management class, we watched the movie, To Save a Life. Now, our assignment is to write a review of the movie. To Save a Life is about a high school student named Jake Taylor. Jake and Roger were childhood friends, but when Jake made it into the popular crowd, Roger did not. This caused Jake and everyone else to ignore Roger. One day, Roger walked into school with a gun in his hand and killed himself. The movie begins with Jake attending Roger’s funeral. No one seems to mind Roger’s death, but it makes Jake reevaluate what he is really living for. With Roger gone, everyone finds another kid to bully and pick on. Jake faces a choice-stick up for the kid getting picked on, or ignore him like he did Roger. Meanwhile, Jake begins speaking with Chris, a youth pastor at Jake’s local church. Chris helps Jake get his life back on track as he prepares for college.
To Save a Life is a faith-based movie that uncovers the real world that teens live in today. I really enjoyed this movie because it was very realistic. This movie is PG-13, but I recommend it to everyone!
