Good job will make the world lose better

After procrastinating for several days, I finally finished it.

I have been learning drums since I was a child, and there is no one in my family who is engaged in the music industry. I am not a paranoid person like Andrew, so I am studying in the university like many others, and I do not know what the future will look like.

But after all, I had such a dream, so my feelings are very deep.

Almost everyone who has learned an instrument knows that it is a difficult process from interest to proficiency, and Andrew is a person who is willing to fight hard during this difficult time. And the image of the director choosing the drummer is not without reason. In a complete piece of music, it's hard for a layman to pay attention to how perfectly the drums are struck, just as no one can live there, no matter how strong the foundations of a house are. Like Andrew's uncles in the movie, they would rather watch the games of third-tier rugby players they can understand, and they would like to praise the drummers who were admitted to the top music schools in the country. It is in this situation that Andrew can still pursue his dream unremittingly. Coincidentally, he met a music mentor who was just as paranoid as he was.

The evaluation of Fletcher's teaching methods has been controversial, and the director does not express his inclination clearly in the film. Although the smile at the end is a nod to Fletcher, the director also arranges Sean Casey's passage in the middle. I don't think it's necessary to characterize such a teaching method, it's good or it's bad. If you can't accept it - like Tanner, it's natural to take a different path, maybe it's better? If you can stand it -- like Andrew, you might be the next Charlie Parker.

Today's music market is not what it used to be. The "drum kit" transliterated from the English word "Jazz" of "jazz" has fully served music such as rock metal. Jazz is about to become a history, and people who really understand jazz Very few. Although I don't dare to speak out nonsense, I have learned to play drums and understand some knowledge and culture in this area. Drummers who play jazz are much better than those who play rock. Jazz is exquisite, not only speed, but also technology to throw rock several streets. But fashion doesn't care about your difficulty, and jazz is indeed on the road to elimination. So I can't agree with Fletcher's line: "Now everyone just wants 'That was alright, good job.' And they're asking why the Jazz is dying." It's the trend of the times. But I am quite sure of his last sentence: "There are no two words in English language more harmful than 'good job' "because the world is like this, people are only willing to evaluate the results.
