Haven't watched this Oscar hit movie. Because I thought it might be a loud movie. I saw it yesterday and thought it was pretty cool.
The plot is tense. Looking at it, my heart was sweating, and my body was tense.
The male protagonist went to invite the girl, and was told to go away by the girl. He gave up immediately. But he was insulted like that by the conductor in the rehearsal room, why didn't he leave? I really feel a little unbearable. And it's really too much to insult the male protagonist directly with the information that the male protagonist's mother abandoned the house and left. And the hero actually endured it.
The whole film is full of a kind of perverted, depressed, sadomasochistic atmosphere. Until the male protagonist rushed to the show, got into a car accident and climbed out of the car to go to the show. Drumsticks dropped during the performance. The tension is really at its peak. The male protagonist was finally unable to restrain himself, and rushed to the stage to give command.
Can such a training method cultivate superstars? I am skeptical. According to the film review, the real Charlie Parker story is not that the man threw something at him, but threw it on the ground.
If this film has a positive meaning, it should be to let people know that it is not advisable to achieve success by means of self-destruction.
Is the ending warm? The director himself also said that the meaning of the ending is more darkness than light. The hero is dead in a sense. He's still a bit stuck in the success story that the conductor hypnotizes him. It's not an inspirational film at all.
The command itself is a person with psychological problems. He misses the dead student, but he made up the cause of his death. He pretended to invite the male protagonist to perform, which was actually a trap. If the male protagonist continues to follow this conductor after this performance, the future will not be bright.
The male protagonist may also have his own problems, the sense of abandonment brought by his mother, his inferiority complex, his competitiveness in front of his relatives, and his motivation for self-achievement. He longed for a stronger life mentor. But he wasn't mature enough to tell if the man in front of him was a dose of poison. This would have been difficult. Most people succeed all the way to the stage, or rely on luck.
The worst is probably to meet such a conductor-like teacher. It seems that your realm has been improved, but it is actually an irreversible sacrifice like a demon. Although, maybe I think some people won't agree. I think that people are often affected without knowing it or consciously. This resistance is difficult and requires a great deal of awareness and judgment.
And, I have a deep doubt, can you beat the drum better by practicing your hands until you bleed? Is more practice better?
