Have you ever encountered a particularly "perverted" teacher during your student days, forcing you to keep learning every day?
or
Have you ever encountered classmates who were "particularly cruel" to yourself during your student years, forcing yourself to make continuous progress every day.
Who said that going to college is easy, NO, no, no!
Watching this movie, I think of a sentence in "How Steel is Made":
A man's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret having wasted his years, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction; in this way, on the verge of death, he will be able to say: "My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world, the struggle for the emancipation of mankind." ”
The male protagonist in the movie also has a similar line: "I would rather die drunk at the age of 34, penniless, and become a topic of conversation at people's dinner tables, rather than be entangled in money and live to the age of 90, but no one remembers who I am." ”
This is "Burst Drummer"
The film has been controversial after its release, and as of now, douban has a score of 8.7 points.
People who like it praise its sense of rhythm and layering,
People who don't like it question its values and sense of oppression.
The main cast of the film is:
Male Number One: Miles Teller
Probably a little strange, Teller was with Nicole as soon as he debuted. Kidman collaborated on "Rabbit Hole", the representative works "Courage Forward", "Extraordinary Policewoman", "Divergent: Alien Awakening", "Burst Drummer", "Top Gun 2" and so on.
Male No. 2: J · K. Simmons J.K. Simmons
Simmons played Peter's boss in "Spider-Man 2", he has starred in more than 70 movies, although not the main role, but the acting skills are absolutely powerful, with "Burst Drummer" he won ten awards for best supporting actor (including Academy Awards, Golden Globes, etc.), "small role" Simmons is also waiting for his "big opportunity".
It's not an inspirational movie in the traditional sense.
Because of absolute love, so desperate, what kind of courage,
Even if everyone rebels and has nothing, they have to pay for their dreams.
An obsession that borders on madness.
What does this film labeled as music, inspirational, dreaming, growing up tell?
It tears away the back of genius brilliance,
Unknown blood and tears.
Growing up in a single-parent family, Andrew (Miles Teller), a 19-year-old freshman at art school, dreams of becoming a top jazz drummer. But he is still a backup drummer for a third-rate band at the school.
I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate that he was killed by the devil's teacher Fletcher (J. K. Simmons) was selected to join the school's top band, but what he didn't know was that the nightmare had only just begun.
Andrew in the first class was still a little confident and excited, the teacher said good things to him before the class, and when it was Andrew's turn to test after class, when the rhythm was not right the first time, Fletcher also followed the temptation, after repeating several times, Fletcher finally broke out, a chair slammed into Andrew, Andrew was frightened.
The teacher rushed up and scolded him to the ground,
At the same time, he also let him keep counting the beats, the wrong is a slap, under the violence of language and body, Andrew, who had just started his first day of college, cried, but what he attracted was a more brutal rebuke.
Such violent teaching, ordinary people can't stand it at all, but Andrew is a stubborn temper, he is determined to fight with this perverted teacher, and fight with perverts to be more perverted than him.
He moved the mattress to the music room, fell asleep listening to the accompaniment, woke up to play drums, practiced day and night, and as a result, his hands were bleeding in two days, so he kept putting on band-aids and practicing, and this practice Andrew insisted on for a whole semester.
Finally the opportunity to turn over came, there was a big performance in the school, but the main drummer lost the score, and the main drummer did not memorize the score, and could not play at all.
At this time, Andrew seized the opportunity, this piece of music he practiced for a whole semester, has long been familiar with the heart, there is no doubt that under the direction of Fletcher, the band won the first place steadily.
Sure enough, the opportunity is left to those who are prepared.
Andrew successfully promoted to the main drummer, do not be naïve to think that the teacher will make him so easy to make him bitter, it was not long before Fletcher found a competitor, the former drummer of the band, and promoted him to the main drummer,
Andrew was not convinced, so he asked the teacher to theorize, but the teacher said
"Are you teaching me to do things?" You're not much stronger. ”
The teacher's unreasonableness completely provoked Andrew's backlash.
He decided to speak with strength and crush others in all directions. In order to concentrate on training, he locked his heart and locked his love, turned his head and broke up with his girlfriend, Andrew was cruel to others, and even more cruel to himself.
Day and night of hard training, hand grinding bleeding on the ice water paralysis, while practicing while scolding, practicing until the collapse of the fist smashed the drum surface, Andrew was completely crazy.
This day drummer special training, the teacher asked to play a perfect 400 beats per minute, no one is allowed to go, the core of this item is to test endurance and speed, three drummers take turns, can not achieve the effect he wants.
The three were tortured to the point that their hands were bleeding profusely, and when the other two drummers were nearly broken, Andrew became more and more courageous, and finally succeeded in hitting 400 beats, and the teacher also let him be the main drummer again.
Although back at the heart of the game, Andrew wasn't as happy as he was the first time, knowing he could be kicked out at any moment if he didn't work hard.
One day the band had a very important performance, Andrew did not forget to listen to music and read the score in the car, but the bus suddenly burst the tire.
Only half an hour before the show began, he had to rent a car, kick the gas pedal to the scene, but the teacher taunted you were replaced, and he found that the drumstick had landed at the car rental company.
He ran all the way back to the car rental company and got the drumstick, but because he was too anxious to have a car accident, although Andrew was covered in blood, he never wanted to give up, the big brother who hit people panicked, but he insisted on running to the scene when he was hit.
Andrew stepped on stage with a bloodied face, the musicians around him were confused, and the teacher frowned, but he didn't say anything.
Andrew was already in a daze, he was full of drumming and could not lose the position of the main drummer. However, injured, he could not even hold the drumstick steadily, and the teacher scolded Andrew and waved his hand to announce the end of the performance.
Andrew's heart was about to collapse, at this time the teacher did not forget to sprinkle salt on the wound and said a sentence "You are finished playing", hearing this sentence,
Andrew couldn't bear it anymore and fought with the teacher on the spot, scolding the teacher to death. However, after a while, the crematorium was fired, and Andrew was expelled from school, and his musical dream ended.
The son suffered such a big grievance, the father was naturally not convinced, he found a lawyer, learned that the teacher actually forced a student to hang himself from depression.
Andrew retaliated by reporting that the teacher's coercive teaching was too extreme, and the teacher was expelled.
This battle can be described as a lose-lose situation.
I thought that the two would never intersect again, but I did not expect that under the encounter of fate, Andrew came to a jazz bar and found that the resident singer inside was the devil teacher, there was no mutual pinch, and the two calmly chatted.
The devil teacher said, I did that because you were very talented, but there were fewer people to force you.
Andrew asked, are you not afraid of pushing too hard, but instead practicing a genius?
But the devil teacher said that there were no two words in my dictionary that were more harmful than "good job."
True geniuses will not give up, they will only turn grief into strength, and they will not survive, that is stupidity.
Before leaving, the teacher told him that there was a large-scale performance a few days later, the guests on the stage were all professionals in the industry, as long as the performance was brilliant, they might sign a contract directly with the record company, the tracks were all you would, and now the band is still a drummer.
Obviously this was throwing an olive branch at Andrew, who was so asleep in his dream heart that he decided to fight, which was a rare opportunity.
The teacher's edder revenge made Andrew feel ashamed, but he did not know that what awaited him was an even more terrible abyss of hell.
Before the performance began, the teacher showed off with him, and he knew that it was Andrew who had reported him.
All this is nothing more than the teacher wants to take revenge on him, he wants To make Andrew light up hope, and then pour out his dreams with his own hands.
Sure enough, the teacher reported a song that he had never heard at all, and he should know that the stage was an industry bigwig, and he became a soaring and collapsed.
Andrew had no choice but to stick to his scalp, and even if he had the talent, he couldn't knock out a single flower now.
The audience looked puzzled, and Andrew spent as many seconds as he did on the stage.
The performance was finally over, and the teacher did not forget to complain that he had no talent.
After stepping down, his father gave him a deep hug and comforted him.
Andrew wondered if his music career could be given up so easily, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Andrea turned around and went back on stage, this time, the crazy genius came back,
Ignoring the teacher who was talking, he knocked confidently, and without waiting for the teacher to direct, all the musicians were forced to follow the rhythm, and this time, Andrew took the initiative.
The teacher rushed over to scold him, he gave the teacher a mallet with his backhand, Andrew wielded passion, the rhythm speed was impeccable, and gradually the teacher was also brought into his rhythm,
The lights dimmed suddenly, he was still beating mercilessly, the lights flickered, his arms became a residual shadow, sweat like rain, the rhythm of drumming was getting faster and faster, and the stage seemed to become his recital.
The teacher was overjoyed, forgot about the revenge, and wholeheartedly directed the band, following Andrew's performance, and finally completed a more perfect 400 beats.
At this moment, all the enmity has long been unimportant, this is the sympathy between the madmen, and the two masters and apprentices laugh and have a grudge.
In a sense, the devil teacher is a good teacher, the so-called strict teacher out of the high disciple, he can squeeze all the potential of people, so that the genius becomes a real master, but his way is too extreme,
If he hadn't met a madman like Andrew, maybe he wouldn't have been able to teach a true master in his lifetime.
Genius is not often there, Bo Le is even less often, under the whipping of the devil teacher, Andrew finally broke through the heart demon, achieved excellence, and was recognized.
On the road to success, he sacrificed almost everything he had, and the devil teacher he feared and even hated incomparably seemed to be his future self.
In life, the vast majority of people are not geniuses, the reality is cruel, and the road to success is full of thorns, so most people choose ordinary happiness.
Still others choose to run hard, not to outdo most people, but to catch up with geniuses.
It's a cruel practice that must be gambled on all faith and energy.
The meaning and manifestation of success is different for each individual.
We often say that the heavens reward diligence, but perhaps not all clumsiness can be compensated by diligence.
So whether you choose to give up, choose to forget, or choose to work hard, it should come from the bottom of your heart.
Hard work is not necessarily successful, the world never treats people who work hard, but knowing that you are working hard is the motivation to live in this mediocre world.
You say, will Andrew become a teacher in the future...?
