MR2: Drumline

This is a little old movie, it made in 2002. It is an African American movie.

  

I will introduce  this story. The main character is Devon. His parents are separated, so his mother raised him all on her own. He is a person who is frivolous and likes to be the center of attention.

  

After the graduation ceremony, Devon sent a bunch of flowers and he went to meet his father. He wanted father to come to the graduation ceremony, but his father couldn’t send an invitation card. Devon said he would continue drumming, but his father  couldn’t continue it.

   He will go the school’s marching are on a losing streak for 4 consecutive years. In  college, he finds his favorite girl. Her name is Leila. It is the first meeting of them.

  

Then, they held a meeting of the persons wishing to join the Drumline. The new members should wear a white T-shirt and read the book of rules. They have a curfew, but they didn’t get back home before. Next morning, they should wake at 4:30 o’clock, but Devon’s roommate couldn’t wake up, so he didn’t get up. This club has a teaching that is “One band, One sound”. He was against it, and he continued in a rude manner to the leader Sean.

  

Every day, they should practice on a sound basis. At the graduation of new persons, he couldn’t say rule on the final page, so he has to cut his hair. He doesn’t want to, so he refused it, but he decided cut his hair. Next day, they did a qualifying competition. Devon became a main member of a P1. He gets carried away, so Sean said you have the solo part. It was a success, but club supervisers were angry. And he told Sean to polish the drums.

  
    Another day, the supervisor found out that he can’t read sheet music, so he became a reserve player. At alumni day, he participation with the alumni. But he got in a fight. He couldn’t be in this club, so he thought he would join another team. But this supervisor said wants to get information of A＆T. He gets depressed to hear it.

  
   One day, he got some tapes of drumming. He realized the pleasure of drumming. And Sean and Devon became a good friend. Sean teachs how to read  music, and they work together. This title was difficult with Devon’s participation. And A＆T and MB were won at the same time, so Devon participates in solo confrontation. Finally, A＆T won.

  
   I remembered my high school life because I belonged to a cheer dance club. I like cheer dancing, so I want to dance again. My favorite scene is the final one. I thought drumming, dancing and all the audience became one. It is very beautiful. University people have difficulty to renew one’s character, but this story of people has a big emotional growth. I could remember to do my best. I think I will try studying new things.
