Bravetown

I came across this movie by chance and its beginning caught my attention; there was a wannabe DJ Harvest (that’s like somebody calling themselves DJ Zetor in the Czech Republic) showing off at some party, devouring one molly right after another. The viewer then cannot be surprised that he ends up in a withdrawal therapy for kids where he meets other kids and their different problems. Over time, I realized that the movie is also about music, but the musical numbers didn’t bother me at all. I was just astonished by how the boy usurped all the music for himself. But in fact, he was only mixing music somebody else composed. He also annoyed me a lot with this attitude of his, just like when he thought he can find out everything about other people without telling anything about himself. Everything was compensated by Josh Duhamel, whom I personally like, and whose excitement about European soccer made me really happy. The best thing is when he personally explains to an American brat and DJ that soccer is pretty popular in Europe and the little brat can’t sleep for a few days thanks to the shock. The Americans didn’t waste time and so that they wouldn’t be too pro-Europe, they included the main storyline of the movie, which is about the stigmas of families of American soldiers. As I said, I expected worse but the movie was not so bad after all. (25.05.2016)
