Drama often extremes reality, which itself is indeed one of the charms of drama. But taking it to extremes and ultimately changing the nature of the reality it is intended to represent is a bit too much. In the film, mentor Fletcher hopes to achieve qualitative transcendence by forcing students to break through their limits, and with Newman, he did it. This is a story of mutual conquest between the powerful, and there is nothing wrong with it. The problem is that it destroys the nature of the music—the music in the film is no longer music, but a tool for the director to create dramatic conflict, which is disrespectful to the "music" itself. If it is a subject that has to live and die, such as competitive sports, it may not be a problem. But jazz is free, and on top of that, the music is visceral and deep. Taking music as the theme, making such a typical American film that still does not escape heroic personal redemption seems vulgar. Of course, the film is full of conflicts and struggles and must be a hit. (Towel City)
