To save a Life must be hard isn't it?
To save a life tells a story about Jake Taylor. He was the guy who had everything anyone could ever want, He's got popularity, A scholarship for basketball, and a hot girlfriend.
What more can there be??
Jake Taylor had an old friend Roger Dawson. He was no one by people's book. This guy, was all alone. He had a feeling like no one cares about him, like no one knows about his existence and ; one day he decided to commit suicide in the school halls in front of the other students to make himself known. Jake Taylor tried to stop him right at that moment but he couldn't convince him otherwise. Roger Dawson died from a shot in the head by his own hand. The saddest part was that Jake Taylor knew about this, knew that he existed. Yet, he didn't do anything. And that's what struck him most. He didn't do anything to stop it.
For week end week out, he has been thinking about Roger Dawson's death. And it has been consuming him entirely. People are starting to get frustrated with him and so is he. Then one day, a youth pastor comes and invites him to a youth group at a church. He asks Taylor Jake to try it out.
From then on out, Taylor Jake Looks for the next victim who might suffer the same fate as Roger and he notices this lone Kid at school. He starts to try and reach out to him, asking him things like if he ever felt like doing the same thing Roger did. For the next few days, he starts to Try and befriend this person. Starting to go to church and taking/inviting the lone kid as well. He starts reaching out to the other geeks and loners where at lunch time, they would gather. And he is noticing the changes in all of them.
While all of this is happening, problems in Jake Taylor's Life begin to be taken seriously and noticed. His father is cheating on his mother, and his girlfriend is PREGNANT!!! And his friends ridicule him for hanging out with losers and becoming "christian" And as Everything begins to fall apart, the school finds out about his girlfriend's pregnancy. In the midst of it all the geeks and losers that gather during lunch start going their own separate ways. And the loner like Roger, is on his own again silencing everyone out of his life once more.
Up to this point :D im not gonna say anything about the end. You go watch it yourself. Its a really moving movie and Opened up my eyes to try and reach out to those people who need you at school ;)
