Film Summary:

This is a great movie about Art because shows the Art of music and Drama because tells the story of lost souls, and goes like this:

Everything starts when a new teacher with new teaching manners arrives to a school for troubled boys to be the new prefect. There he finds himself with a different kind of students and teachers, students who were thieves, liars and rebels that came from poor families or some of them did not even have family, and teachers with only one way to teach that was called Action-Reaction. Action-Reaction consisted in if the students did something the teachers will punished them by bit them. The principal of the school was the hardest one on the students, the one who bit them more so all the students were scared of him. Although the new prefect was not like that, he was more interested in help the students so he applied other teaching methods, this manners were all the opposite from the ones the others teachers used, he tried to be friendly with his students but always keeping the respect. One day he decided to start a chorus with the students and he was surprised when he realized how excited the students were.

Although almost all the kids did it really great, one of them had really a lot of talent. The new prefect dedicates a lot of time in him because he believed that music could change the student’s behavior and could take this talent boy to a great future for him…

So do not miss the opportunity of seeing this movie is great…

SIMPLE PLAN

“Crazy”

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They won't stop 'til they've reached their dreams
Diet pills, surgery
Photo shopped pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like its WWIII
No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
And money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUVs
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares, no one likes to share
I guess life's unfair

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something, something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong.



SIMPLE PLAN

The Montreal-based punk-pop group Simple Plan is comprised of high school pals Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Jeff Stinco (guitar), David Desrosiers (bass), Sebastien Lefebvre (guitar), and Chuck Comeau (drums).

Simple Plan is a pop-punk band. The band has recently achieved widespread popularity despite receiving little appreciation from critics, many dubbing them posers with little creativity, talent, musicianship, or depth. On their second album, ''Still Not Getting Any...'', the track "Shut Up!" is supposed to be a response to critics showing that they don't care what other people think about them.

Pierre Charles Bouvier (May 9th, 1979).
His mother’s name is Louise and his father’s name is Real, and he has two siblings. His favorite sport is football, and he love playing video games about skate and FIFA. He studied how to play piano, guitar and bass. He went to College Beaubios highscool where he met his pals the ones that will join him in his band. He said “we were the kind of kids that waited to the end of classes to practice our music because that was what we loved”.
