Some movies blow your mind, this one shakes your soul

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2015)

Basically, this movie is about an ambitious boy possessing a strong will being driven to fulfil his dream of being a legendary drummer. I won't spoil much as this movie is totally worth watching. Keeping it short here. This movie is for everyone. Even if you're not a fan of drums and drama, this movie should keep you captivated to the very end.
From the start, the movie had the ability to make your heart stop and race abruptly. Its easily as intense as any thriller out there. The storyline depicts a boy lost in his dreams and a teacher going to the extremes. Throughout the film, you'll be kept wondering whether the teacher is being harsh for the sake of the greater good as he claims or is he just being an ass who doesn't want to lose his pride. Many people may fall the same way in their lives and start to wonder whether whatever they're doing is worth it. This movie would serve as a mirror for this people, where they can look at themselves and reflect. The first class storyline coupled with top notch acting from the actors especially the coach makes the movie all the more enjoyable. This movie could easily have turned out to be an old cliché drama about success and all, but no, things were put right here.
The ending was one of the best I've seen in a long time, Super intense and concludes the story well. Enough said i guess. Watch it to see why this movie was nominated for the best picture! Truly amazing
