Inspirational movie

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2016)

This film combined between the intensity of the story and the great performance from main actors. The technique that the director and the cinematographer used in the film was a helpful method to tell the story. The mobility from static shots to steady cam shots to a dolly and choosing many close up shots to emphasize the specific and important moments in the film. I believe because the director was the writer of the story, he knew what he exactly wants. Moreover, the editing in the movie was beautiful and diverse. The most significant part when the music starts, it becomes the leader of how the scene transport from shot to another. Tom Cross, the editor, was playing a music too but used the editing process as an instrument.The message that you may get from the film is whether our dreams are big or small, we must fight for what we believe in. Never giving up even if we pass through some difficulties and obstacles. That seems obvious when we see Miles scarifies his relationship with his girlfriend when he felt that she prevents him from achieving his goal. In my opinion, the film was very successful according to the clearness of the message, the fluent of the story and the great performance. I think this film should have won the best picture of the year basing on its message, outstanding performance ,creative writing and the efficient way of using the cinematography to tell the story. Also, this film encourages the new director to do the same hard work that Damien Chazelle did.
