MR3: Brassed off!

I introduce about the movie “Brassed off” This is a British movie. This story’s main characters are workers in a coal mine and they are members of a brass band. The band’s name is “The Grimethorpe Colliery band”. They worked there and they also took part in the brass band. All members are male and they had never had a woman in the band.


One day, they were embarrassed because they might lose their jobs. The coal mine may close. They could not afford to continue the brass band but it was difficult to say it to Danny because the brass band was his life. Then a girl joined this band. Her name is Gloria. Her father was one of the band members in the past. They went to a brass band contest. And their bands won the semifinal but it decided to close their coal mine and they learned about it when they came back. Then, unfortunately, Danny was also sick. They were suffered and they decided quit the band. They played for one last time in front of hospital that Danny entered. Danny’s son, Phill was also suffered about family and loans. Gloria and Andy were also had bad incidents but only Gloria did not give up going to the final in the band contest. They decided to go to final contest to be Danny’s wish. They performed for them, Danny and members who were coal miners. Of course, they were the winner but Danny refused to receive a prize. That’s because the trophy is not important for him. What is important for him is worth of human. He refuses to receive a prize and he want to have the news be about that. And they played “Pomp and Circumstance” and went back with trophy in their town.


I cried many times in this story. I thought this movie is similar to situation of “Hula girls” while it is Japan movie. I impressed to appearance of people that live with all one’s might in hard situation. I recommend seeing this movie.
