I love this move!!!!!

I just watched this incredible movie on Showtime on HD and then again on Showtime OnDemand. At the end it made me cry and feel happy at the same time. It had such an impact on me I can't believe it. I don't usually get emotionally involved with a movie but boy this one got me hooked. I won't give the plot away but it took me on a journey with this boy Musa and it never let up. It was stunning on high def, and the music was so moving. The subtitles were a little small but they only last for a few minutes at the very beginning and then it's all in English. The ensemble cast was great, the guy who played the truck drive was wonderful and the boy was fantastic. The movie made me feel sad and happy at the same time and now I want to tell other people to watch this movie. Watch this movie!! Watch this movie!!!

Great Movie, a powerhouse

This is a really great movie, the kind that you have no expectations about and it surprises you. Everything about it is excellent. The the acting, the writing, the directing, the look of the film, even the music. It is a powerhouse and has an emotional punch that surprises you. It is written and shot so naturally that I thought I was watching a documentary instead of a feature except it looks so beautiful you know it's a major production. The primary actor, Junior Singo was excellent, a real talent. Hollywood should get behind this movie in a big way, it needs to get out to as many theaters as possible. The story is that important and you walk away from this movie with a new understanding of the world.

Three thumbs up

Powerful and touching are two descriptors that come to mind. I felt drawn in from the opening scene in a small village in KwaZulu-Natal, and the movie just kept delivering from start to end. I don't want to spoil any of it for anyone so I won't go into any plot detail. Just watch this one. I'm so glad I did. The cinematography (I love the colors of Africa), the acting, the dialogue, and the story line are all superb. The movie deals with a subject of global importance and does it with finesse - I was expecting something preachy because of the subject matter but at no time did I feel that was the case. Absolutely riveting. I'm glad I have Showtime On Demand because that's how I stumbled upon it - it's not available at Netflix or Blockbuster.

A GREAT Movie!

What a little jewel this movie is.

Shame on the US distributors for not picking up this movie, reportedly due to the lack of a "name" US actor in the cast. If anything, it was MORE effective due to the lack of recognizable faces. It made the story the most important thing. And you CARED about these people, because they felt like the real thing, not actors playing roles.

Great cast, beautifully filmed, important story. If you aren't lucky enough to find it in a theater near you (and you probably won't) the DVD comes out in, I think, November. Run, don't walk, to buy it. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing movie!

I saw Beat the Drum at a festival and talked with the producer and writer David McBrayer about this movie. He is the one who actually created the movie and it was his brainchild. The audience asked questions and he explained how he came up with the idea for the script and that it took him several years to produce because it is an inde film. Everyone loved it and applauded at the end, it was the best movie in the festival. I still think about this amazing movie and look forward to when it will be in theaters and on DVD. Why isn't it out there already? If you know anybody in the movie distribution business tell them to check it out. Beat the Drum is an amazing and moving movie experience and I highly recommend it.
