"Blacking Drummer" La La Land director Damien Chazelle's 2014 word-of-mouth masterpiece, also won the 87th Academy Award nomination. The film begins with a rapid roll. After the drum beats, the camera slowly advances towards the protagonist from the perspective of Fletcher, the devil's mentor. This is also the beginning of the mentor Fletcher's ridicule and strict training to Andrew. Like many students, Andrew has dreams, admiration and yearning for the great drummer Buddy Rich, and at the same time wants to join Fletcher's band but also fears Fletcher. While watching a movie with his father, Andrew met Nicole, who was working part-time in a movie theater. Andrew immediately pursued Nicole. The two fell in love and entered into a relationship, but after Andrew entered Fletcher's band, he competed with the other two drummers. At the core, he proposed to break up with Nicole, which was also caused by Fletcher's devil-style education. Fletcher's education method changed Andrew's concept of life. He believed that friends and lovers would become obstacles on the road to success. Only by spending a lot of time It takes hard work to achieve success, and then begins to practice self-abuse. In the society at that time, being a drummer did not seem to be a particularly good choice. This is reflected in Andrew's family gathering in the film. Only as the core drummer of Lincoln Center can he be recognized by his family and the world. Of course, this is also Andrew's final yearning. In the film, Andrew integrates all his dreams into life, and even abandons his own safety. Perhaps this is an excellent state that everyone expects to achieve their goals in life. At the end of the film, Andrew used a piece of his own solo to prove that all his efforts were not in vain, and Fletcher's radical education method also allowed Andrew to achieve unprecedented achievements. As far as many professional drummers are concerned, the film still has many flaws, but it still has a great warning effect on contemporary young people. For those without a dream, just watched a bland chicken soup.
