You say this is inspirational? I mean this bowl of chicken soup is poisonous!

If you say this is an inspirational film, it's great, it's hard to feel the same way as a spectator!
Fletcher, the conductor and mentor of the band, if he was a little optimistic about the protagonist from the beginning of the film, after arriving in his music room, I decided that this was just a stubborn and poisonous tongue. Here is a small detail. Maybe you guys I don't really care, because the film doesn't have his name from the beginning to the end - that fat trombone player, when I saw the last sentence "Actually, he is not out of tune..." I immediately began to dislike this so-called inspirational! You use such a stern tone to question a person whose nerves are in a state of high tension, and you force them to get out? In the end, I actually said that he didn't get out of tune, but I just don't want to laugh at someone who is so insecure about my own music. Are you really not used to him? ! You don't want to take care of that person who goes out of tune? What kind of mentor is this?
According to this logic, the police randomly arrest a person and ask him to confess to the crime, then beat him up violently, and imprison him for 10 years and 8 years. When he finds out the truth and says he actually knows it, he just doesn't like this kind of person who doesn't insist. Can you accept it?
Although it's a bit off topic, it actually represents Fletcher's coaching attitude - I'm here, I'm the finalist, you can't meet the requirements, if you have an opinion, if you want to get out, I'm never short of people here! He doesn't care if you like music or not, why do you want to be a musician, if I'm not satisfied, you can leave...
So you say that the protagonist is inspired? He was completely framed! From the moment the protagonist became the core drummer, it was a thrilling nightmare. How did the protagonist become the core drummer? Because he lost the sheet music of Tanner (the original core drummer), and poor Tanner actually said that he couldn't play without the sheet music (I don't quite understand, the protagonist and a drummer substitute can be memorized, you must read the sheet music? ) In my understanding, under long-term pressure, he memorized all his possible mistakes on the score, which can be seen from the fact that he became impatient when he saw that the protagonist did not turn the score for him in time. Then, in Fletcher's logic, you say you can't? Get out now, the protagonist says he can, let him play, it doesn't matter who loses whose sheet music. Then the protagonist took the position of his core drummer honorably. How important is this position to the protagonist? From the protagonist's showing off to his family, the irritability of being robbed of his position and his obsession with being on stage even if he survived a car accident, we can see how proud the protagonists are.
However, let's take a look at this Fletcher to the core drummer , No, it's his attitude towards all musicians, just like a machine. He first asked the core drummer of the protagonist's original campus band to take his position as the core drummer, arousing the protagonist's competitive heart, and then using 400 beats The standard, let the protagonist go back to the position of the core drummer, and his cruelty is revealed here. I only need my standard, 1 point, 2 points, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if my hands bleed; plus that poor Sean Casey, Even if he knew that he committed suicide because of depression after following him, he didn't want to admit this fact in front of the students, and used the excuse of a car accident and a minute of music to deceive all the students, and he didn't respect life! So the male protagonist came back from a car accident and continued to play the drums, but he did not impress Fletcher. There is no need to say anything about the failed performance...
So, the male protagonist gave up music and worked as a cashier for a summer. Of course, he is not the only one, after all, the music room The original core drummer Tanner also changed his medical major. Of course, the former fat trombone player, the former students, I don't know how many people have been terminated from the music road... You must not tell me that this is also the teacher's Within the scope of incentives...
The final protagonist's SOLO was his strongest protest - when Fletcher saw the male protagonist again, he decided to punish him again, and he must be ruined! "Do you think I'm a fool? It's you!" He clearly stated his purpose, and he knew that he was fired from the school because of the protagonist's accusation! He just wants to tease the protagonist once on this final stage, so that the protagonist's musical path will be cut off forever! But the protagonist is the minority, just like the old saying: "Don't break out in silence, die in silence" The protagonist died once, so he finally came back, and he finally showed a resounding message to the mentor Complaint - caravan The drummer burst, and Andrew, who was still playing after the end of a Caravan, created an explosion for himself that couldn't be turned back. With the protagonist Neiman's eye-catching FUCK YOU, with the intensive drum beats, blood still fell On the drumsticks...but they both won...
Fletcher is a demon, the one who lured Faust to his downfall, Andrew's guide and gravedigger, because after all Andrew was trained by him. In this era of "the winner is the king", if you can win, it proves his goodness, and who cares whether your soul is destroyed or not. The devil always wins...
