This movie is about one marching band in America. In Japan, I think that marching bands are not so popular and as famous as in America. And it was the first time for me to hear such a word “Drum line”. When I was a junior high school student, I belonged to a brass bans, so I was able to enjoy this movie. This movie was an exciting one.The main character in this movie is Devon Miles. He lives in a dormitory apart from his mother who is divorced. He is a self-confident person. That is why he has a talent for playing the drums. His playing is so dynamic, exciting and cool. But he doesn’t have the ability to read music and work with older students. So a lot of trouble often happened. Next is Laila. She is a leader of the cheerleader club in the University. Of course, she is good at dancing and kind. Her parents are people in a high position about the cheerleader club in University. So when Devon had trouble with another marching band, she couldn’t introduce him to her parents and they broke up. And the teacher of the marching club is Dr. Lee. He is a strict person about music, so the training of the band is very hard. But he always keeps his presence of mind whenever something happened.
The beginning of this movie, Devon entered a celebrated University to play the drum. He is a genius at playing the drums because he has inherited his musical talent from his father, who got a divorce from his mother. He played an active part in the marching club but he is a freshman. But he caused trouble with another team when there was a challenge. Therefore he quit the club.
The end of this movie, he tried to enter another famous University for marching bands, but he found the teacher materialistic. Therefore he was disappointed. So he returned back and told his secret. That is that he can’t read music. He reflects on his behavior and repaired with his relationship again. At last, they succeeded at the big competition and won the championship.
I liked this movie, but I was surprised that University has students all black students. In this movie, a black student asked a white student. “Why did you enter this University? There are a lot of black people.” I think such a scene will be not seen in Japan. But the scene that all members are playing was so powerful and exciting. I really enjoyed this movie.
