DVD Reviews of Killer Diller
DVD Review: Great movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
After stumbling upon this movie accidentally, I ended up using it in my 6-12 music classes. The movie has an inspirational plot, showing that people of all races, gender, disability, or upbringing can succeed in something, regardless of any obstacles thrown their way (including bad choices).
I had a few parents even call me to ask where I found the movie - their kids had enjoyed it so much they asked to buy it. However, the success of the characters seemed to trivialize the crimes the teens had committed to land themselves in a halfway house, and only my high school class caught on to that concept.
It was a great movie for my students because it was filmed close to home, but also because many of them dealt with mental disabilities themselves - many could identify with the main character and it sparked some inspiration with them. I had several kids say, when the movie was over - "If he can do it, so can I."
Description of Killer Diller
When guitar-playing car thief Wesley Benfield (William Lee Scott) is sentenced to a halfway house in the middle of the Bible Belt, he's forced to play "church music" with his fellow convicted residents. The band's future looks bleak...until Wesley meets Vernon (Lucas Black), an autistic savant whose rocking piano skills give them the spark they need to become the red-hot Killer Diller Blues Band. But before they can take the world by storm, all they have to do is break the law one more time.Infused with toe-tapping soul of the South, Killer Diller is based on Clyde Edgerton's highly acclaimed novel and features blues legends Taj Mahal and Keb Mo.
