As a former rock fan, I was first shocked by the sentence shortly after the beginning of the movie-"Young and strong don’t work hard. Play rock and roll". This is a sentence posted by the male protagonist on the poster of his dormitory, which obviously serves as a warning. The original English text is "If you don't have ability, you wind up playing in a rock band." The translation of the subtitle group is a bit playful. The simple literal translation is: If you don't have ability, you wind up playing in a rock band. Although I'm a layman in music, rock music has always been the most powerful music in my mind back then. How come "playing rock" here has replaced "tragic sadness".
With a state of dissatisfaction, I pressed timeout and checked the Internet for a long time. It turns out that the drum set used in rock music was originally called "jazz drum", which was made for jazz music, and jazz musicians do need higher skills. Well, accept this statement for the time being.
Continuing to look down, I was surprised by the devil teacher Fletcher. The same is the hopeful child or the hopeful student to become a dragon, the controversial "tiger mother" and "wolf father" on the Internet are not worth mentioning! How can a highly respected musician be like this? It is almost an inevitable result that his students cannot bear the pressure to commit suicide. Is this a good inspirational film in the introduction? This movie keeps refusing to be an inspirational film of chicken soup for the soul. You just smelled a bit of chicken soup and immediately slammed your ten big mouths! I just thought that no matter what, the teacher will make a good disciple. The instructor stabs your heart with a sharp knife, and then tells you that you are going to die, which means that you are not the material, or if you are not dead, you are the great Charlie Parker, I It was Joe Jones who trained Charlie. Repeatedly smoking you and stabbing you (don't think about it, this topic is very serious), until the chicken soup bowl in your hand smashes into pieces with anger.
Whether this is an inspirational film or not depends on whether the tutor Fletcher wants to use this method to train great musicians. As a cunning Libra, I think this is a trap set by directors and screenwriters. If you say that he is right, you will be criticized as a masochist and masochist by fans who value human rights and respect ordinary people. They only seek success and are unscrupulous. demon. If you dare to call such a person in power, it is Nazi Hitler. Such an artistic path is paved by blood and evil spirits. If you deny his approach, fans who are burned by his idealism will call you shit, go to An An Sheng Sheng, passion and art have nothing to do with you, you only It is worthy of being rushed to and fro, and finally skinned and killed the sheep that served the table. The cunning thing about the director is that he doesn't have any bias in the film, but he puts this reality and this story bloody in front of you. As for the views on the story, that is the audience's own business.
In fact, this is a choice, just like the red pill and blue pill in The Matrix. In the film, through the father’s mouth, this multiple-choice question has been stated clearly-like Charlie Parker, burning his own life quickly to live to 35 years old, or just like an ordinary person to live to 90 years old, everyone will do Have your own choice.
At this point, I can’t help asking myself, as if I don’t need to think about it, I should have chosen the latter. Because if I chose the former, I would have died last year. In fact, as a mediocre person, I have always wanted to question Fletcher, the devil teacher. Just when he fell into the bar and expounded his own greatness to Andrew confidently, saying that his crazy behavior was just to force you to break through your limits. He didn't want to waste another Charlie Parker, that would be for him. Tragedy...I really imagined him smashing over a chair like that, and while ditching him, I asked him: Why don’t you be Charlie Parker yourself, why you waste yourself, why you can’t be Charlie Parker and you are still alive like this, and there is no Give up music, but choose to think of himself as Bole Joe Jones. The children who committed suicide by you or who gave up music forever, do they agree that you are Joe Jones?
The most brutal and terrifying part of the film is the ending. Andrew finally followed Fletcher's way. The last crazy beat has nothing to do with music or art. It is more for dignity, for the sake of a breath, and for the sake of winning the blood. Sprinkle the drum noodles. But if Andrew succeeded in this performance, and recognized that it was the unscrupulous means of the mentor that made him succeed. Fletcher probably did not train Andrew to become Charlie Parker, but to become like himself, who could not be Charlie Parker but wanted to be Joe Jones' demon mentor. I noticed that the film was choked off after the drums ended, and there was no cheers or applause from the audience.
Young people don't work hard and grow up to play rock and roll. In fact, the young and strong have worked hard, and it is very likely that they can only play rock and roll. Playing rock is not ashamed, it is better than being abused and having no interest in playing.
