Movie review #4 "Drum Line"


This is a movie about a marching band. The young people practice hard and play the music. It expresses youthfulness itself. Their play is powerful and attractive. Even the people who don’t know much about marching bands would be charmed by this movie. We can enjoy it with our friends or family.

The hero is Devon who is an able drummer. He is a little selfish and a show-off. Though his ability is perfect, he can’t read music. The heroine is Devon’s girl friend Leila. She belongs to a dance team. Sean is a leader of the drum line. At first, he didn’t like Devon because of Devon’s self-centeredness. But, they understood each other.

Story
The gifted drummer Devon was admitted to Atlanta A&T College on the recommendation system. He was selected as a member of P1 class (the best class) of the marching band as soon as he entered the college. He was liked by the president and hoped to bring the championship. On the other hand, he was kept at a distance by the manager and the team leader because of his selfish behavior. One day, Devon provoked the drummer of another college and it caused a scuffle. As a result, he was dismissed from the marching band.

He changed his way by this. By doing battle with the drums, Devon and Sean reached an understanding. The manager allowed Devon to return to the band after he saw them. In that year, A&T College competed with MB College for the championship of marching bands. Devon was selected for a center player of the drum line. He played very well and A&T College won.

Feeling
It was a very interesting movie. I was excited by the play of the drum line. The well organized movement, the play of high quality and their passion for music… all of them were the first rank. I realized again that I like music. I recommend to watching this movie to like music or not.
