who produced a picture called pay the price it was raised from years prior i his experience as alabama state university and other university experiences from those universities against  become extremely artistic they are having many different movies that they do on the field that other bands don't do their training is rigorous particularly in the freshman year and then finally they graduate and move on and become primary ban the most important of those was to dallas austin through his assistant mr rackley who describes himself as being the gateway to mr austin he lived with mr austin he traveled with mr austin and he had movie the press kit the trailer all of this and that's important because austin was the executive producer of drum line had gone to hollywood and said make a picture from my life story i was a drummer in high school for one semester and i'm great develop it on a high school picture all the earlier scripts work later exchanged to college later is changed to one of those historical marching  another contact and then this through the writer's truism the third who came to the campus and was approached twice by two people individuals one in a dining room and one outside in the field it was from what we're told movie he says yes i'm aware of it the movies are going to be different and later the newspaper said the real difference between these movies  proud judge came out and said i've viewed them both and i have to say that when you look at both of them they do not appear at first blush to be very similar and in and funky films versus warner entertainment i mean didn't i mean our natural reading and watching of the two works where wheels greater more significant differences and few real similarities in any of the extrinsic test factors sum certain people are the same it's the same environment you have the same three rooms in this picture it's entirely different because you have the same sequence of events you have two young you have one young man there going in drumline who comes and wants to make his his life all he wants to develop his career and become musician permanently that think oh is that his same characteristics are developed in three separate people in the picture that the same conflicts between the band directors and the ministration you have the same conflicts between the band directors and the section leaders and the section leaders and the people who are trying counsel at all times during the briefing which went on for over a month period and in fact as the record shows the first time appeared to argue the merits of the case judge real said that he hadn't seen the films and he wanted to put the matter for two more so he had a chance to do that so counsel had an additional time to prepare and tell we arrived at the at the hearing on the summary judge as often happens the case was decided pretty much on the right and in fact in this kind of a case where parties and experts for all i knew then and worked do they really can't change the works which are the only thing that really matters to jump ahead to the attorneys the issue the attorneys in motion filed there after and we presented the proposed order to the judge at the time we filed a motion there was a here on i think the heart of this case in the heart of these these motion picture cases is that it's whether the two movies are substantially the same movie or whether it whether the story is really made up of the characters the way that they relate to one another and the essential sequence of events its truth about the same kinds of activities that is marching bands and black marching bands in the south these are two stories about baseball you have hundreds of similarities we don't have to change the rules of baseball the tell the same story are to tell are a story about the same subject matter we don't have to have it run to third base and go around the house opposite way in the diamond so that stories here have the same central facts that the that being in a black marching band is like being in the army and there's a drill and you have to get up early in the morning you have to work in the hot day sun so they wear white t shirts and you have to do what your supervisors tell you what to do in this case the c man and a young black woman want to join an all black male but end against the opposition of the section leader and the person who's in charge of the supervision about a talented young drummer from new york from harlem who gets a scholarship to go to the southern university specifically to work him and he has to learn about successful for so surprised and said people were always coming into the office and dropping stuff off he does remember talking to the plaintiff and he also remembers that he threw everything sitters work that's not enough to show that they knew the story of pay the price and that includes charles stone the director and charles  also gave an interview after his movie came out and it was a big success and he was talking to somebody on the telephone he was being interviewed and he was trying to be gracious and he said look he said i've never seen  others work but i'm sure the only difference between the two of them is we spent more money on ours that's not the same thing to say i know what's in his motion picture the other matter that was cited to t that she ever did now when it comes to talking about the characters the characters are a critical part of the story of course these characters couldn't be more different you've got our lead character devon comes from new york they have no counterpart in their story well what they're doing instead is they try to say well characters are made up of traits like he's brave thrifty obedient shits who are trying to get on the band and that plays out in their movie throughout the whole movie in hours devon has made the band twenty five percent of the way into the movie and the rest of the story is about whether good depositions in five states all of them last and we had to go to well travel to the east coast i think two or three times isn't the other but they both exist on this thing white boy all have our problems with the parents are there i'm here sometimes because the parents are prejudice or difficult so there's never have that position w capacity for pay that he was acquainted with pay the price later he asks for a copy of that particular script he is working together along with director stone and along with the writer both are making are for these two particular movies because they set up conflicts which are eventually results of the movie and that is a little bit more than just clips of there is a couple of york council and went to two or three hearings that was accomplished before judge alex but that doesn't mean that there's a tremendous amount of caution here we're also spending cost because we can have with this is in different areas it is usually necessary for you to go to the witnesses as opposed to
