heard that Whiplash finally has HD resources. Finished watching it overnight. I can't even comment on the translation of "Boom Drummer". Whiplash literal translation is good. Whipped, whipped, slapped.
The film tells the story of a college student who is not talented and has no family background, who falls in love with his own strong, but paranoid orchestra director. Yes, love and kill each other. There are too many beautiful teacher-student relationships, "oh captain, my captain", "my name is clement Matthew, failed musician, failed.", and even "Snape, please." The teacher is serious and warm, thinking of the children , subtly change the children, and finally everyone is redeemed.
But not this one.
Say I watch this movie.
Essentially it can be seen as a musical movie. The clips and shots are followed by the jazz that surrounds the whole film, so sexy, I mean no matter the clips or jazz. There are many fake "like blanks" in the film to bring things like protagonist practice, protagonist practice or protagonist. The part where you practice hard. Interestingly, perhaps because the background is a campus and the protagonist is a student, this film was tagged with the tag "inspirational". For me, this movie is the exact opposite. The teacher himself is highly accomplished as a musician, but his education method is indeed whiplash--he keeps swearing, humiliating you and ravaging you, and after affirming you, he finds one challenger after another, and Tells you "Oh he might be good too - don't forget you were a challenger too". He threw the whip and pressed step by step, training a jazz band into an army, and he didn't care to train a child to be the band leader and a depression patient, until he committed suicide. He says he's not teaching, he's pushing those kids to push their limits, and he thinks "not bad" is the worst and delaying word. He doesn't think he's wrong and won't apologize for his attempts. He also suggested that people who can't get over it to change careers - where is the inspiration.
However, the protagonist asked the teacher in the bar, "Is there a line? What if you push too hard? What if you push the next Charlie Parker too hard to become the next him?" The teacher raised his eyebrows and replied: " No. Because the next Charlie Parker will never be discouraged." I'm somewhat familiar with this sophistication, and I've spoken similar lines to him at the same time.
As a movie, it is a very tight and sharp movie in itself, really Shape and fast. The movement of the lens is very "crisp", and it matches the ubiquitous jazz tune perfectly. The protagonist is a diligent person, and the last super-long counter-kill solo also makes people see blood boiling. But for me, as a drama, his ending was handled too loosely. The director hopes to discuss with the audience some serious topics such as "whether a talent education and a harsh education can be equated" and "the relationship between dreams and hard work". Yes) The unbreathable jazz drum solo made the pair admire and concern for a while, and then scolded the teachers and students of "fuck u" to each other, ignoring their grievances. In vain, I kept saying "surprise me!" for the last 5 minutes.
The most interesting easter egg in this film is a small poster collected by the protagonist. "If u don't have ability you wind up playing in a rock band." Putting this poster at the home of the protagonist who loves jazz is not a tribute to rock music, but it is just that the old aristocrats look down on crazy middle-aged people, like a teacher's Madness and Helplessness: Jazz is dying, I'm going to save him. Everyone says I'm not good, but at least I'm trying, and I've gone further than everyone else. I won't apologize for the path I've tried.
So capricious, so handsome.
