Should people be classified in the bad category just because they do a certain something in their lives that is bad?
This is a question that you have to ask your self when viewing the movie Half Nelson. The movie revolves around a junior high school teacher who is a Crack addict and his students.
" "Half Nelson" isn't one of those "inspirational teacher/mentor" movies -- at least not in any generic or conventional sense. There's no triumph, no breakthrough, no by-the-numbers victory in test scores or on the basketball court. This movie isn't about those things, but is concerned with an even greater achievement that is generally unacknowledged: how people -- flawed, miserable, frustrated people -- go to work every day and find a way to care about something beyond themselves, despite themselves.
