There are two insights from watching this movie. First, jealousy and resentment can inspire people's fighting spirit, but love can bring people to a higher level. At the beginning of the teacher’s words, Andrew was very concerned about a look in his eyes. He was concerned that he did not dare to express himself, and he did not dare to stimulate his true feelings. At this time, Andrew was living in the "rhythm" of the teacher, and the teacher said the most things. It is also "not quite my tempo". He would smile when the teacher praised him, he would cry silently when the teacher yelled at him, because other drummers were praised, he would confront the teacher face to face. The teacher even deliberately arranged for other drummers to compete with Andrew for the opportunity to be on stage. He lived in the teacher's "words" from beginning to end. This attitude of jealousy and resentment inspires a wholehearted desire to be the best drummer. Andrewq can only be the first one by himself, and others can’t compare himself. So he practiced hard every day, and used one piece after another of band-aids to make the drum beat. Speed is faster than others. But it was him who made Andrew. Andrew is a drummer with true love. This feeling surpasses the motivation to compete with others. Others need music scores when they come on stage, and Andrew plays on stage without scores. The scores are already in his Mind. When he finally played on stage, Andrew really found his own "rhythm". The score of this performance was only in Andrew's heart, and finally the teacher was willing to cooperate with the score in Andrew's heart to conduct. Andrew obliterated his previous self. He no longer wanted to be the number one drummer, but really found his own "Tempo". This rhythm symbolizes the judgment and vision of others. When Andrew no longer regards the teacher’s “Tempo” as his own “rhythm”, he no longer follows the vision and comments of others, but instead creates his own “Tempo”. It is a real master craft. Second, there are no two words in English language more harmful than "good job". The meaning of this sentence is not to let people deliberately pursue perfection, but to have requirements for themselves every day, even if they make a little progress every day. Never stop at the "good job" of others. That is the standard of others, and the real standard should be set by oneself. Only I know what kind of person I want to be. There are many times in our lives that we do not know how to choose. We will consider economic reasons, the attitudes of family and friends, etc. In fact, when making a choice, you just have to set a goal in your mind and see if the choice you make is closer to the goal.
