This could be one of the most intriguing movie I ever watched. The story is so simple, and straight forward. No flowery things, direct message to the audience. LOVE IT!
A story about a 19 years old named Andrew Tanner, played by Miles Teller. Andrew, is a college student in Shaffer Music College, he was a drummer in an orchestra. Just a normal kid, with limitation in the socialization zone. Reminds me of...me!
Anyway, one day when he was playing his drum in the studio, a famous conductor named Terence Fletcher, played by J.K Simmons, see him played and eventually ask him to join at his orchestra. Fletcher is known the best conductor in the whole region, he has won several competition.
Fletcher has a unique way of coaching his kids. The uniqueness I mean is like throwing chairs at his student. Cruel? Definitely. But, this is one of his great qualities, he could push his students to the limit they think they can't. Sounds familiar? Well, maybe not everyone could be treated like this, but Andrew he was like fire. Started with just a flame, and ends up burning the whole building. He earns every single thing.
One thing for sure after watching this movie, for me, hopefully it happens in you too is "have I done my best?". We fail, we fall, we suffer, we cry, we demotivated, we are just human, all those things end up in that one single question. I'm also experiencing those kinds of things, there are moments that I'm not so proud of because I could be lazy as a bear in the hibernating season. But somehow, sometime, we just have to manage to stand tall and keep our feet in the ground.
I LOVE this movie, and fall in love with Miles Teller. He prove his acting capabilities, not just playing as a joker here and there, but this movie really shows his talent. It's too bad he didn't win the oscar, maybe this is just not his time. I believe someday, he will win it.
Love it! Love it! Love it! I give this movie 4,5/5 stars!
