Save the Last Dance (2001)

Save the Last Dance: Directed by Thomas Carter. With Julia Stiles, Sean Patrick Thomas, Kerry Washington, Fredro Starr. A white midwestern girl moves to Chicago, where her new boyfriend is a black teen from the South Side with a rough, semi-criminal past.

“This movie does what few movies over the past year or so have been able to do. It takes you to a place which actually exists and it takes real issues head on. Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas give real performances they do not come off as u0026quot;cardboardu0026quot; characters but as real human beings. The plot was simple enough to be good, it didnu0026#39;t require you having a past knowledge of the world of dance but yet didnu0026#39;t rule you out if you werenu0026#39;t black with a bunch of u0026quot;black talku0026quot;. This movie talks to teens. We are able to understand the pressures that surround us, the music we listen to, and just our world. Sure, you have your typical characters but what movie doesnu0026#39;t. Go see the film and then make up your mind. It is one of my favourite new films for the past few years.”
