Based on real story, a young musician discovers his cancer has spread, leaving him just a few months to live. With limited time, he follows his dream and makes an album, unaware that it will soon be a viral music phenomenon.
“Most teenagers feel invisible, not the superman kind of invisible but the kind of invisibility that tricks you into believing tomorrow might be a better day to start chasing your dreams", the quote based out from a true story "Cloud", directed by Justin Baldoni.
This starts with a teen Zach Sobiech, suffering from osteosarcoma (bone cancer), undergoing multiple chemotherapy, but lives life to the fullest, having the normal College life. His mom Laura is his strength, and his childhood best friend Sammy Brown, with whom he's shared everything. Bad things happen to good people right, so his cancer spreads to his lungs, and becomes terminal. That's when the real story begins, where Zach starts to question everything in his life.
Zach loved music, and used to perform in school plays. After the diagnosis, he knew he had little time, and wanted to make the best of it. Starts writing and composing music with Sammy, and uploading in YouTube. He asks out his crush Amy, and a love story blooms. With all this, there's a hole in his heart, and he wants to do something more, but doesn't understand. However, his dad Rob and his mentor Milton weaver comes to his aid, and he starts seeing everything in a new light.
Weaver reveals to Zach and Sammy that he showed their videos to BMI and that they want to sign them. They head to New York City to sign their contracts, calling their band A Firm Handshake. While returning he writes a song called "Clouds" which becomes a huge hit. All the money raised was contributed to Zach's foundation, helping children suffering from osteosarcoma. Zach and Sammy get an opportunity to perform in Metro Theatre, but his condition worsens, but even then, he makes it, eventually does die while performing.
Seems like a simple story, but touches your heart deeply, emotionally overwhelming, this biopic has much more to offer, "you don't need to find out you're dying to start living", this is a must watch movie.
