The Burst Drummer
"Burst Drummer" tells the story of a teenager who challenges his limits with unconventional means and chases the dream of a jazz drummer under the supervision of a strict teacher. The protagonist loves to play drums, but the excessive investment makes him lose his original intention of music, which in turn evolves into a load of life and an almost crazy duel between master and apprentice. The film not only has the pain of musicians, but also makes people see the cruel truth behind traditional inspiration.
This is Kobe Bryant's favorite movie, and he once recommended this movie to Irving at the low point of his career. Owen told Bryant that he had watched the film six times over and over again, and he said the film inspired him. It gave him the courage to open up new territories, and allowed him to bravely embark on the road to Boston to open up his own territory. This movie is "Burst Drummer", a timeless and inspiring work.
As a teacher, Fletcher repeatedly told a story to the student Nieman: the famous jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, known as the "Big Bird", appeared on stage when he was young, but he could not keep up with the rhythm for a while, and the drummer Joe Jones took off the record and threw it at him, almost cutting off his head, the audience laughed, Charlie Parker was ashamed to leave the stage; in order to no longer make his teammates and audiences laugh, he got up early the next day to practice the piano hard, and for several years, Finally became the best American saxophonist of his time.
The Devil's Teacher Feletcher has a saying in the movie: In English, there is no more harmful word than "good job".
Fletcher's intention was to tell Nieman that if he didn't want to be ridiculed for being incompetent, to be the best drummer, he had to endure insults, pressure, and hurt self-esteem, and practice hard to succeed. That's exactly what Nineteen-year-old Niemann was after. Such a magic breakthrough road is difficult for ordinary people to bear, or even have no way to digest, some of Fletcher's ideas I agree with, too much gentleness has created too many mediocre people, so most ordinary people such as you and me, can only become spectators, lamenting the hardships of its way, the horror of its sacrifice.
Andrew also reached the state of enchantment under Fletcher's extreme initiation, forcing out his greatest potential, and on this road, he also went farther and farther in the direction of the bastard like Fletcher, and his performance at the family dinner table was only a kind of pretentiousness of the artistic newcomer, and later in order to practice drumming and break up with his girlfriend, he had completely fallen into the magic, and it was precisely in such an extreme demand of himself.
Andrew's artistic potential was fully stimulated, and his artistic ambitions and at all costs similar to Fletcher's finally exploded under Fletcher's initiation, and Andrew sacrificed his soul, so that the drums under his hands were filled with the blood of the drummers in exchange for the ultimate artistic pursuit. At the beginning of the film, the relationship between Andrew and Fletcher is still at the level of teacher-student inequality, and Andrew, who gradually became enchanted after initiation, has become no less fanatical about art than Fletcher, and the emotional tug-of-war between the two has become more and more intense, and finally it has formed a resonance and burst out a huge musical magic.
Yes, it is not crazy to live without madness. If you don't push yourself, how do you know how big your potential is? First, jealousy and resentment can inspire people's fighting spirit, but love can take people to a higher level. Reality is often harsh, and dick counterattacks are a very rare minority. Huai Cai does not meet, and fate is the norm. Real life is not a slap to a sweet date, but the person who has a sweet date is giving a piece of meat, and the person who is slapped makes up another foot. That's just a successful extremism, only for people who are paranoid in their hearts and are not afraid of blood, tears and sweat!
