Interesting to know, 26 April 2009
I am a musician and live in France, where the release date of this movie is scheduled for Sept. 2 2009. I obviously cannot write a review at the present time but have nevertheless read the book.
What no one mentions in all of the above comments is that Nathaniel Ayers was originally a Double Bass student at Julliard and NOT a cellist. That instrument-- along with the violin, trumpet, and piano, all came about later on. Put any instrument into his hands and he'll do his best to master it.
Having attended Yale university, I did not know him personally, even though we studied with one of the greatest bass teachers in the New York area at that time: Homer Mensch. Recently our paths did finally cross thanks to one of our mutual acquaintances, bassist and composer Joe Russo. Nathan likes to write down the names of his long lost good friends on walls, or any writing surface, and Joe's name is always there, scribbled amongst his favorites. This was where Steve noticed Joe's name and Googled him to look up his website. A new and close friendship resulted between them, and the many anecdotes that Joe pulled out of Nathan's past were worth their weight in gold to Steve, enough to devote the entire chapter 8 of the book to Joe!
To me, reading this book made me come to the conclusion that every man has his hour in life, and Nathan's time had come now. The chances of 2 men, one homeless and one not, being pulled together through the sound of a violin in a rush hour tunnel, were undoubtedly written in the stars. Through articles, a book and now a film on Nathan, Steve helped uplift a poor and abandoned part of society to a rank that it never imagined nor asked for, but morally deserved. We all know that the Internet is indeed capable of connecting and reconnecting people in the present, but only music can magically, throughout time, open the doors that connect all of us to one another.
'Bart Got a Room', how does this title sound to you? To me it sounds like some lame, cheesy-to-the-bone teen flick that just has one thing going for it and that's bunch of teenage girls and some teenage boys that will waste their money on watching it. Well everything wasn't as it seemed that's for sure...
Movie starts off surprisingly interesting, contagiously funny and entertaining, every scene was good, no sequences wasted for useless talk or anything like that. Plot is quite usual for teen flicks but it just had something good going for it, something was unique and it felt very right to me. Characters are pretty much likable, and those who aren't on first sight turn out to be righteously likable later on in the movie and that can also work in a teen flick. Acting is surprisingly above the level of usual acting in a teen flick, although cast is very unknown (except for maybe one face, W.H. Macy). So more than half-way through this movie kept its edge and entertainment but then things started to go a pretty boring and predictable way. It was just like i was watching yet another teen movie (not even a comedy, more like teen drama with prom and everything blah blah) and the feeling was very disappointing. But the very end of the movie is fairly pleasing and satisfying which was a life-saver for this film that started running away in a wrong direction under big speed. So, although this movie deserves a 7/10 rating by rational explanation and summarizing, i'm still giving it 6/10, because seriously in these kind of movies second part is more important, it makes a bigger impression on the viewers than the first, still i would say that this movie is definitely WORTH WATCHING.
