Amazing Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2016)

This movie depicted how the musical process is usually made, I am a musician myself and I have a band director who acts quite similar to the director in this movie (minus the chair throwing and the constant flow of curse words) but this movie brings good memories to me and I am sure it brings good memories with other musicians as well. The cast was stellar! the plot was amazing! and the music was just wonderful! To me The movie was so relatable and easier to connect with the character because I knew what he was going through in his times of trials. A good example is when Terrence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons) keeps nagging and pestering Andrew (Miles Teller) about how his tempo is "rushing" and then when Andrew tries to fix it, he is then "dragging" the tempo, then it just goes back and forth until Fletcher hurls a chair at Andrew's head. Now, my director never went as far as to throw a chair at a drummers head for rushing then dragging, but we have come to the problem and it can be frustrating! This movie really does justice to what the expectation to being a musician is like for most and I really enjoyed it.
