Simply the best I've seen in a long time!

WOW...this was an awesome movie. Excellent story and acting as well. This drew me in from the first scene and it got better all the way to the end. Who knew that the pivotal scene in the movie would be the extraordinary performance on the drum solo!! I'm not sure why it didn't get Best Picture, but it certainly earned an Oscar from me.
Both actors carried the plot forward in a clear and purposeful manner. Excellent energy between student and teacher.
The ending said it all when it ended without further scenes. You could just imagine how this young drummer went onto being the best drummer of them all.
Well done, entertaining and the time just flew by watching this excellent story.
