MCT:September 27, 2008The first part of the movie was interesting but the second half glossed over some impt. events for people with disabilities.

MCT:September 10, 2008Based on a true story!! So that usually takes up a notch for me.
An intellectual movie full of feeling, not emotion for me: on the edge of my seat, tensed up, having to relax every few minutes. That is not to say that this is thrilling or exciting. For me, it was basically horrifying because of the circumstances, pain and torture. It made me uncomfortable and yet watching it was a joy. Well, done. Some good tunes on the soundtrack. The score jammed and then disappear and then come back with original music. But I was engaged for sure. And I like Ron Livingston
& Melissa George.
There were lol moments and moments of awe but mostly triumph. I usually like movies with characters who have or suffer a disability and I was not disappointed. My hats off to Mr. Pimentel and the people this movie is based on. Great Supporting cast, especially Michael Sheen!!!

A movie about the realities about society... about how disabilities are frowned upon, and how distorted people really are. One of my favourite parts was when one of the actors was saying that people are disgusted by disabled people because when they see them, they feel what they don't want to feel. Really amazing story.
And Art.... even with his disabilities, he learned to live life so freely. Amazing... simply amaaazing! -

I really liked this movie!! Wasn't exciting of flashy, but told a very good story! Ron Livingston is a pretty good actor too.
-
MCT:July 8, 2008An amazing True story of one man that made a difference in this country. The difference of what it takes to fight for people who have been treated less than human just because of a physical appearance. Michael Sheen gives one the best performance I have ever seen.
Not many people know about this amazing movie and I was surprised not to see it in any local theaters. Great one liners after another, and the story keeps you wanting to see it tile the very end! Give this film a chance for what it is and see the amazing acting from everyone in the film. -

Great movie. It's good to see someone who went through so much in Viet Nam come home and make a difference not only to his own life but to many lives ahead. With the war going on now, I am certain he will still be able to help these guys who return home in need of care.
A blessing and a very well done movie. -

The story behind this movie is inspiring and sweet. I enjoyed the actor performances. My only complaint is that it made me feel it was building towards some huge emotional epiphany that they never really obtained. Worth a watch though.

This is an important movie. It is also very well done and quite funny. I wanted to get up and slap the waitress and perhaps throttle the idiot who denied the main character his GI education rights "because he couldn't waste government money on someone who is deaf". After you watch the movie, watch the real Richard Pimmentel's speech; he's not as cute as Ron Livingston, but he's funnier. And Michael Sheen should get some sort of reward for his work in this movie.

Amazing! This movie centralizes around one man who works for the benefits and rights of all disabled individuals. It begins with war veterans and helping them get jobs, then eventually to all people. The story plot begins from back in the early 70's to the early 90's. Great cast: Clint Jung, Michael Sheen, and John Livingston. A must-see!

An interesting story that wasn't executed to it's potential. Characters are introduced all the time, but fail to be developed properly or make the story flow. Still, Michael Sheen delivers a performance that must be seen.

Music within (2007)
So what's it about? The true story of Richard Pimentel, a brilliant public speaker with a troubled past, who returns from Vietnam severely hearing -impaired and finds a new purpose in his landmark efforts on the behalf of Americans with disabilities.
My thoughts on the movie? This was a nice little story but i have to say the film was a little bit of a let down for me i mean as it where it was still a good film but i guess i was hoping for a modern day Rain Man. The biggest plus of this movie for me was the performance from Michael Sheen which was fantastic and his friendship with Ron Livingston was great. A decent watch with some funny and inspiring moments just don't have too higher expectations with this one

A compelling true story. Interesting from the beginning and easy to watch. Sheen exceeds in a difficult role, he says less than most characters but speaks in more volumes which should be a credit to an actor's capability. One to inspire mankind.

This was a wonderful story. Livingston was perfect in this role. I love movies with happy endings, but I especially like movies based on true events that have happy endings.

A pretty good movie with a great cast. I really like Melissa George but she is hardly involved, wanting more of her is the only complaint I have.

The true story of Richard Pimentel, a brilliant public speaker with a troubled past, who returns from Vietnam severely hearing -impaired and finds a new purpose in his landmark efforts on the behalf of Americans with disabilities. Ron Livingston, Michael Sheen, and Yul Vazquez are unforgettable in this film. Their performances are so real and truthful. Michael Sheen's transformation into his character, Art, will leave viewers of this film speechless. The story is a compassionate one about overcoming great obstacles and making the best of it. The friendship that develops between two unlikely characters is incredible. There is not a weak link in the bunch. Every portrayal is so refreshingly honest and believable. Highly Recommended.
