"We Are Your Friends" Movie Group Review
There have been times where I have felt like I have wasted my money and time on seeing a movie. This was not the case when seeing "We Are Your Friends." This movie should acquire 3.5 out of 5 stars for their excellent music choice and well organized plot. Any viewer could follow the plot easily, yet it was still complex enough to not get boring. I would suggest this movie to any viewer who enjoys EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and somewhat of an action movie. This is a movie that makes one question the society we live in and points out the daily events of everyone who tries to build a successful lifestyle, but ends up having setbacks.
From the previews that were advertised, "We Are Your Friends" looked scattered and without a set plot. After seeing a preview like that, not many people would have wanted to spend the money on seeing it or even take time out of their busy schedules. Surprisingly, this movie had other plans. This is a movie that is filled with drama, romance, and music.
The main character, Cole Carter (played by Zac Efron), is a simple young man who has a passion for music, but in specific, making electronic music. Due to not having a college degree and a set job, Cole is forced to make his living out of playing random "gigs" at nightclubs. All this changed when Cole met another DJ who took him under his wing and tried to help him build up his music skills. Everything was going smoothly until Cole chose selfishness over loyalty and has relations with his new friend and mentors girlfriend, ending his friendship with the other DJ.
Cole is then forced to make a living for himself, going back to playing his night gigs. One night, as he and his close set of friends were partying, his friend ended up using drugs and alcohol and he wound up dead. WIth this tragedy upon Cole and his friends, he is then faced to make a choice to continue to live the way he is living, or make something better out of himself. With the memory of his friend and his treasured DJing skills, Cole ends up making his one big hit track. Not only that, Cole ends up realizing that there is so much more to his life than what he has been settling for.
Seeing "We Are Your Friends" was well worth the time and money spent. I would definitely go see this again and would recommend it to all my friends who enjoy electronic music, a love story, and somewhat of an action movie. This movie should acquire 3.5 out of 5 stars for their music choice and well organized plot. The movie makes one realize that no matter what is put in their path of success, with determination, they can battle through their setbacks. Everyone has the chance to make themselves better, when a person takes that chance, that is when they build success.
