Burst Drummer

The film "Burst Drummer" has a great impact on viewers, which is very different from the European and American films that have been seen in the past. Later, I learned that director Damien Chazere used to be a drummer, and part of the film was adapted from his real experience of joining the band in high school. In our school days, it is not known whether there will be a teacher who has a bad temper. I think in the director's inner world, there must have been a band teacher he was afraid of, and this special Oscar-winning work will be born. This movie can't tell whether the teacher is creating genius or persecuting genius, and it can't tell whether talented people are achieving themselves because of stubbornness, death, or madness. In short, my heart collapsed a bit while watching the movie. But when I watched "Burst Drummer" for the second time, I found that the abuse and abuse between the teacher and the students are so complementary. Yes, achievement often comes with loss; glory often comes from shame; glory must come from darkness. What this film tries to discuss with the audience is the unacceptable but extremely real side of human nature.

    Compared to Master Yan, he is more like a scum.

    The movie is not about ordinary stories, but it is bloody and true, not inspirational, not whitewashing, about personality and moral values, not instilling, not evaluating. Everyone gets what they deserve, including what they lose. Telling stories like this is rare.
