In front of freedom, everything is nonsense

Seeing the previous paragraph, I think college students are good bullies, and I'm going to cut people early.

Seeing the middle section, I think college students are Yin San'er.

Seeing the latter paragraph, I feel that nothing is important anymore. What inspiration, lofty ideals, intrigue, devil coaches, SM teachers and students are all nonsense, only one thing is the most important thing: freedom!

Where does freedom come from? It does not come from any achievement or fame, but from a breakthrough in this process, peeling off one's own shell layer by layer, exposing humanity, is an indisputable professional!

It stands to reason that the weakness of inspirational films is that the spirit is very moving and the reality is passive, but this film is almost real enough to be used as a teaching material. Although there may not necessarily be a coach who scolds his mother every day, but when you are completely involved in one thing, You have to tell your little girlfriend for nothing.

Speaking of business, the first thing I thought about after watching the film was why it was so good-looking after a 100-minute film. The premise is of course that the narrative inflection point is well controlled, but it was later discovered that every narrative inflection point is a criticism of a pseudo-proposition (if it is only a well-controlled inflection point, it is just a satisfactory entertainment film).

In the beginning, a college student entered a high-end band. At first, he felt that he was quite good. Later, he was scolded by the neuropathy professor, so he went home and practiced hard. You thought it was an inspirational film, but you thought the theme was not to be successful. .

But the plot turned abruptly. He actually became the number one drummer because of an accident that happened to be a bit suspicious. You thought the theme was that there must be a means to be a man.

But it was wrong again, and then it was a temporary exam. He fought his life and returned to the chief drummer. You thought it was the subject of jazz is not easy, or he gave up his life to accompany a lunatic.

Then, you made a mistake again. He had a car accident before going on the court and played abnormally. In the end, he couldn't help but threw the coach down (of course he still didn't give him a meal), and then he decided not to play, and the school began to intervene. , You are not the first to be abused, you speak out, we will help you, we have decided to clean up this special professional stupid who pretends to be abusive students.

You think that the theme is that you must be a man to make music.

It's wrong again! The student and the teacher reunited, and said some heart-wrenching words, he came on stage and was shaved by the devil teacher on the spot to make a fool of himself, but he decided to regain a city, and finally returned to the stage, regaining control of the scene with a gesture of Lao Tzu's willingness to give up. , And finally completed a perfect performance. I thought that the theme has become to rely on oneself again.

In fact, they are all wrong. The real theme of this film is: It's all wrong! All the subjective opinions and subjective models of people are all wrong!

Those false propositions often appear in our obscenity: can teachers be ruthless to inspire students? There must be a leap after a blow? There must be a turning point in life? Human heart is still good, so the knife mouth must be tofu heart? You have to sacrifice so much in order to become famous? Will the madness be able to survive?

Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong!

The most important thing is professionalism, which is the freedom brought by high professionalism! Others are secondary: if you want to play the drums, then you are the drummer. If you can't do it, go home and practice and come back tomorrow. If it doesn't work, then you just can't. No one cares about you. This is a band not a Chinese inspirational TV show. The most important thing is that you are addicted to or even drowned by the sound of drums when you are playing drums. Coach, you are so cruel? My student hurts so much? Classmate, you usurped the throne? Judge, you are poisonous? What does this TM have to do with drumming?

Forget everything, the coach scolds his mother, the family does not understand, the classmates are a little bit heavier than you, and there is no good person in the band. It is not important. At this moment, the life is left to this drum. So, do you do so much just to become the chief of Lincoln Center? mistaken! In the face of giving up my life to accompany a lunatic, fame and fortune are ridiculous, I am afraid that I will not survive that day, I am just immersed in the state of selflessness and I don't want to come out at all!

All right! Here comes the most critical question. Those who complain are basically complaining on the moral level: is it good to promote this kind of values? Promote this kind of inhuman values? There is no doubt that you will have great freedom only if you give up your life and devote yourself to one thing, not the small freedom of backpackers. But is freedom greater than people, or is people greater than freedom?

Ask me around, are human beings so great? If mediocrity goes to death and lives recklessly, most people will choose recklessness, but what if I replace the word recklessness with "obsessed"? People's morality will change the trend immediately. They will say, "It's not necessary, the body is important, it's almost OK, but the diet should be regular, and don't force yourself to be too tight...

The whole film makes me feel so true to the back that it’s this kind of narrative that completely despises dogmatic preaching. I even suspect that the director’s truth about the coach’s in the bar about "could be easy to miss genius" is not so. Really, after all, I still advocate masters under the sticks.

So at the end of this film, I didn't hear the applause of the audience. A perfect performance is Lao Tzu's own business. Lao Tzu forgets to enjoy it, and it ends with the drummer's final blow.

happy!
