Who cares about your dreams?

A step away between excellence and the ordinary, greatness and excellence seem to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.

"I want to be a great person." "I want to be one of those amazing people." Andrew, from a shy boy to a madman with only drums in his head, ruthlessly broke up with his girlfriend , Said these words.

A person's change must have both internal and external causes. Andrew, from a person who watched a movie with his dad and dared not look at each other with the girl, turned into a mad, persevering, and triumphant look at the commander who retaliated against him. This change was brought about by blood and tears. After reading it, I felt sad.

There are four table scenes in the film that are very interesting. The first two games were Andrew eating with his girlfriend and attending family gatherings. When eating with a girl of the same age, he said that the people in the school didn't like him, but he didn't care. This echoed his behavior at family dinners afterwards. He behaved stubbornly, refused to admit defeat, and was extremely proud of his dreams. He who didn't need friends was very lonely, and lonely people were very stubborn and easy to get into the wrong corners. Such a child who lives like a beast in his heart meets a stern, cruel, ruthless and vulgar command. This command, with his mouthful of foul language, with younger newcomers, is constantly stimulating and whipping Andrew’s nerves step by step. He was on the verge of madness. He wanted to win and become the absolute core ambition, but it brought him car accidents and performance failures.

Afterwards, Andrew was dropped out of school. Although it was a pity for him to see him throwing away the poster, Gu Xuezang felt sad, but felt that at least he could live a safe and secure life, and the child would no longer lack arms or legs. , No longer need to be tortured mentally. If the story continues like this, there may be another director filming a documentary about "How a Boy Was Destroyed" instead of this pseudo-inspirational film. Before long, while eating pizza, Andrew, who was a little fatter, met the conductor who was dismissed from the school in the bar. Then they had a serious dinner table conversation. This conversation showed that Jiang was still hot. The commander said those words, which sounded like the principle of being a master. It was really touching. Andrew almost knelt down to apologize and kissed. His toes.

It feels like Andrew, who meets his soulmate again, wants his ex-girlfriend to go to the concert and take the opportunity to get together. Whoever is well-known has already had grass. Andrew, don't you think this is a hint from God, implying that the next thing is a trap?

I don't know what kind of person the conductor is. I originally thought he was a strict teacher, but judging from the fact that he would ruin Andrew's performance at the expense of his own performance, he is simply a pervert. He wasn't trying to push Andrew's limit. Judging from what he did in the orchestra, it was simply a manifestation of men's early warning. Why did he hear that a former student committed suicide did not bring him any change? It can only be said that the nature is hard to change. In the end, the close-ups of his and Andrew's eyes really made me think that the commander is a lunatic. When I found a good seedling finally rose from the ground, it can act like nothing happened. The teacher is still proud of you. Feel. It's true that people's hearts are separated from their belly, knowing people, knowing faces, and not knowing their hearts. My feelings for this character are really complicated. At the same time, I feel that the director's portrayal is a bit unnatural and unrealistic.

In terms of structure, the beginning, development, turning point, climax, and ending of the film, each part is explained step by step. The character's personality is very clear, but a bit thin. The relationship and conflict between characters and characters are simple and clear.

In the end, I don’t know whether the relationship between people can be resolved, nor whether Andrew can be recognized by other discerning eyes, and since then embark on the path of a great artist, but in the fourth table conversation, he is a perverted command. What I said, I still summarized the theme of the film concisely. There is no romance in the art circle, only more cruel than those outside your circle. Those who can go to the west tower alone and look all the way to the end, their suffering can be beautified into a legend, those who have worked hard but have no chance to rise above others, who cares about your dreams and pains?

  • Terence Fletcher: So, imagine if Jones had just said, "Well, that's okay, Charlie. That was all right. Good job." So Charlie thinks to himself, "Well, shit, I did do a pretty good job." End of story. No Bird. That to me is an absolute tragedy. But that's just what the world wants now. People wonder why jazz is dying.

  • Andrew: [to Connelly] HEY, FUCK OFF, JOHNNY UTAH! TURN MY PAGES, BITCH!
