Brassed Off!


This movie is a story of a brass band, Grimethorpe Colliery Band and its members who are miners at the Grimley mine closing. The members and their families lack financial leeway and they are filled with a sense of despair and a feeling of tragic heroism. In such a situation, one woman named Gloria joined the band. her joining gave them hope. They united and made an effort again.
But then, a truth became clear. Gloria is a member of the company which is forcing the Grimley mine into closing. Gloria tried to keep the Grimley mine open, but the members of the band treat her coldly. She lost her position in the band. And then, in spite of her effort, the Grimley mine closed. Bad luck didn't end here. The leader of the band, Danny, fell sick. And the members are also in a difficult situation. Some of them lost their wife, their children and their home. They decided to break up and not go to the final. They lost everything, but only one member didn’t give up. It is Gloria. Finally, they decided to play on the final to feel her resolution! For our dream, and for Danny!

At the end of this movie, Danny said that music is not everything, but humans are the most important thing. I felt the importance of spirit and mind watching this movie. Of course, our family, jobs, money, or something of each person are very important. We become very sad and confused that we lost them, even only one. But now, I found the power of spirit. They lost their dear family and jobs. But finally, their family came back to them, because they were touched by their spirit for music and the band. Even if we get into a difficult predicament, the road to success will the mind if we never give up.

In this movie, there is hope, dreams, love and a strong spirit. And of course, there are a lot of beautiful and harmonic music. After watching this movie, I felt like walking with my chest thrown out!
