The story of a pervert who is clearly not musical, and a self-righteous young man.

The whole film gives people a bad feeling, which is different from the bad feeling of thriller and suspense, but the feeling of oppression on people's hearts. The orchid finger that Coach Devil has been shaking seems to be showing the conductor's absolute control over the band, but it's not at all. A commander plays the role of prompting and guiding. Simmons is foul-mouthed and uncertain, using excessive violence and perverted emotions to control the progress of everyone in the band. Performances that are perceived to have tension (expletive language and violent outbursts) can show the perversion of the characters. But as far as I can see, this way of performance brings people more surprises and puzzles, and the little shock is like watching fire from the other side, and it fails to bring me into Andrew's emotions. Because there is no foreshadowing, no experience, just an emotional outburst. I can't approve of such a performance.

Andrew was sweating profusely while playing the drums, and he was almost expressionless. I couldn't understand the pain and anger of the male protagonist, and even the joy at the end came very suddenly, shouldn't it be the joy after revenge, and it should appear at this moment? ? However, at this moment, Simmons' surprise and cooperation with the male lead made me feel a little more shining.

In general, it is a movie that makes people feel a little angry for the sake of perversion, perverted for the sake of drumming, there is no exciting plot, and the heart is not able to enter the movie.
