This being one of my favourite films of all time, I really enjoyed it . However the only problem for me was the ending , it's quick and snappy , but leaves you hanging which you can decide whether you think that is good or bad in your opinion. I haven't re-watched this film in a few years so it's nice to see it where I'm conscious of my memory and what's happening. As a big fan of music myself , I loved how they conjured up a musical piece with just the sounds of cars , people and the city in general by remixing all the sounds. Furthermore, I really adored how August played the guitar , it was creative! Overall , this film was a nice refresher of my younger life and even though there are a few bits that leave you hanging , it's still a thrill to watch.
