After watching it three or four years ago, I have mixed feelings. I learned that this is Kobe's favorite movie, and I re-watched it again...
The rhythm of the film is smooth and flowing, the sharp editing with its own musical sense, the dramatic tension of burning explosion...
Simmons's suffocating oppressive teaching, paranoia, cruelty, tempered "earth talent" through the double destruction of the body and spirit. When dealing with students, his swear words were as dense, intense and vicious as the drumbeat of the film. A genius in the traditional sense is a gifted talent that can be accomplished with appropriate effort. It's not that you win at the starting line, but that your parents gave birth to him at the place closest to the finish line. There is not much reference in the universal values, and it is necessary to expand the growth law of "earth talents" in which a hundred flowers are blooming.
The teaching of this film is almost morbid, almost anti-human, and I personally disagree with it. Strictly speaking, the so-called master-disciple relationship in the film is more like a pure mutual utilization relationship. The paranoid and dark side of the drummer allows the conductor to see his younger self, and he will also do anything to achieve the goal, and in the end the drummer is here. Under this kind of extreme "enlightenment", the further and further toward the "ideal bastard"...
But looking at it from another point of view, if you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon, if you don't go crazy, you can't survive, never retreat, never give up, never... This is the core of the Mamba spirit. Kobe undoubtedly saw the latter layer! ! !
