Hello Rabbi.
How does a person have free choice if God knows everything he will do? I would appreciate your answer.

In my opinion, God does not know. I wrote about this in my books Two Carts and The Science of Freedom. Do a search here on the site about knowledge and choice and you will find many discussions about it.

Why can't we say that the Creator's knowledge is like seeing the end of a movie in advance, and has no effect on a person's choice at all?

You could say, and many did. I referred you to Yehudit Ronen's article and to my words, where I show that it doesn't really work.
