The film Pay it Forward is a film about (obviously) paying it forward, a term for helping someone else in need rather than the person who helped you come back. In the film, Trevor McKinney, a young boy who lives in Las Vegas, decides to implement a program based on this concept to try to make the world a better place. Say no to plagiarism.

It quickly established itself as a tough school, with kids smuggling knives and other items through metal detectors and bullies preying on the weak, like Trevor's friend. Eugène Simonet, Trevor's social studies teacher, decides to fight against the school's bad reputation and entrusts the children with a project in which they must change the world. Trevor is the only one who really takes this seriously and formulates an idea for a concept he calls "Pay It Forward." Trevor starts with a homeless man he knows, his teacher and his mother. Trevor thinks he has failed when Jerry is addicted to drugs again, but later Jerry saves a woman from suicide. Trevor honors his mother and his teacher by bringing them together. However, the relationship is difficult and causes Trevor and his mother to fight. Meanwhile, a journalist researches Pay it Forward after receiving a free car. He traces it through a prisoner, a homeless woman (who turns out to be Trevor's grandmother) and finally to Trevor. However, just after Trevor is identified as the author of Pay it Forward, he is accidentally stabbed by a bully while protecting his friend. Trevor dies in hospital and later, at his home, a candlelight vigil is held in his memory. Pay It Forward was a good movie, and it was my favorite movie that we watched in class. They were all good but this one was the best. Only this movie and the blind side really seemed like it could happen in everyday life. Of course the others did, but the events were a bit too long. The acting was good, the plot was well written and it was funny at times and sad at times too. The scene where Trevor is stabbed really touched my heart and made me very sad, while scenes like the one where Sidney is arrested are funny, light-hearted and certainly uplifting.

Get a Custom Essay Overall, Pay it Forward was a very good movie that teaches you a lesson that you shouldn't always expect something in return when you help someone. Trevor doesn't and his concept becomes a reality, spreading across America and who knows where else in the future. I'm almost inspired to try something like this myself, but I don't know where to start.
