One of the keys to music films is of course the music. It's not perfection or award winning or a feat of film making and yet it seems to be something that everyone just sits down and really enjoys. Įntertaining, fun, touching, and well delivered all around. With some luck, maybe one day, you'll know what it's like to be in a marching band. For those who actually think there are race issues in the movie, pay more attention to the people in it and what they are trying to do with their work, and you won't see any color.
DRUMLINE FREE FULL MOVIE MOVIE
If we accept the basic good message of Drumline and allow ourselves to be entertained by the music as presented, it will be a movie that will be watched and enjoyed repeatedly. It's easy to find criticism in virtually anything. The movie as presented may not be entertaining to anyone who has never worked hard toward a goal with a team, but for those who have, I'm sure they will see a piece of themselves and their experience in Drumline. Įxperienced great emotional appeal watching the hard work of the "team." Sure, if it was a complete story about a marching band, the movie would fall far short, but who would watch a 20-hour movie about a marching band? It certainly would have been more realistic to include the pranks and general fun that we all had to have in between all the hard work just to stay sane. We had the greatest times of our lives with you! Rydjeski, Canis, and Gifford.
I truly hope that my prior band members see this message and respond back. You are a great person and we will never forget you. You gave up many hours of your life so we could have a life of our own. Thank you for all that you have given to us. Rydjeski, we loved you as our band leader and we will miss you intensely. There was also Cathy Tricoli who had a hit single for her efforts. There were several of us who went on to stardom, in particular, Ron Wikso, who played with Cher for many years. He was an inspiration to many of us in the East Islip High School band. It is now February 28TH, 2005 and I just found out that my friend, Mr. Rydjeski for the greatest years of our lives - I really mean that. I don't think he's alive anymore, but I did keep in touch with him until about 5 years ago. Every time I see that it is on, I drop everything, and tune in to see it all over again.This commentary is in tribute to Bernhardt Rydjeski, Director of the East Islip High School Marching Band.
I'm not knocking those people, but maybe they would rather watch Johnny Knoxsville in Jackass than see this movie.This is a great movie. I see the low rating of 5.3 and I'm a bit miffed about that however, that might be because of the people who have no appreciation of real band and music material.
There is even a decent plot to this movie.
