"Burst Drummer": Paranoid to the extreme, full of blood, sweat and tears
Fletcher, the Devil's Teacher, has a saying in the movie: In English, there is no more harmful word than "good job". Similarly, Kobe Bryant said the same thing. It was after the Lakers had experienced many defeats and won a victory, and the teammates were happy like two hundred pounds of children, And Bryant said such a harsh sentence.
Bryant has said that "Burst Drummer" is one of his favorite movies, and as for the reason, it will be analyzed later. Bryant later recommended the film to Kyrie Owen, who owen said was the one that had the biggest impact on him. He watched "The Burst Drummer" six times during his recovery, and to some extent prompted him to have the courage to leave James and go to Boston to develop his own dynasty, and the current wave of winning streak is enough to show Irving's determination.
Owen once said of the film:
You have to sacrifice some relationships, a lot of things you care about. At the same time, I had to adapt to different situations, so I started with small things and summarized the details into big changes. When you close the door, no one knows you better. Those sleepless nights, those late nights of work, these will all be in your blood, because you want to be better from the bottom of your heart. I took those inspirations from that film and I've changed a lot since then.
This is called the Mamba Spirit. When Irving scored a deadly three-pointer in Game 6 of the Finals, he said that it was the "Mamba Spirit" that prompted him to accomplish such a feat. Irving is Kobe's fan brother, which everyone knows, and there are many stars in the league who are Kobe's fans. There are many familiar names that can be cited at will. Many are the people who are called "stars" or even "superstars" in the league today, and Kobe Bryant has influenced the league's enterprising spirit. This is exactly in line with the lonely heroism in the bones of Americans, so it can be said that Kobe Bryant influenced a generation.
Owen is someone who strives to be confident to the point of paranoia.
Kobe Bryant is synonymous with trying to be paranoid to the limit.
Bryant said: "You can't be better than me, because you definitely don't spend as much time playing basketball as I do. You also want to spend time in basketball, but you can't do it because you always have other things to do, other responsibilities to take on, and you get distracted. So, I've already won. ”
Bryant added: "Even if the whole world abandons me, there is still basketball with me. The meaning of the 24th is 24 hours, and I want to put all my energy into basketball, which is why I chose the 24th. If I can't put myself into it, I'm not Kobe. 24 is my best interpretation. ”
There is no sentence that does not reflect the extreme, paranoid determination to win, and the terrible and respectable thing about Kobe bryant is that even if he is already the first person in the league, he will be the hardest person in that league. What is that state, that is, a genius who stands at the top of the league is the hardest working person in the league, such a person, what can you do with him! Here to paraphrase Cao Cao's sentence about Guan Yu, such a person "Heaven forbid! ”
Of course, the most classic and famous sentence is still the sentence: "No one has seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, but I see it every day." ”
Why should I spend so much time talking about Irving and Kobe?
Because Owen and Bryant are the same people as Andrew and Fletcher, they are the same kind. Whether it is a real person or not, but they are heroic and sympathetic!
What kind of person is Andrew?
Andrew is an ordinary looking man with no great abilities (other than drumming) and no use in sports. An introverted and quiet boy with mediocre eloquence, but such a person often has an amazing tenacity in his heart.
Andrew is a desperate effort, paranoid and extreme, and even crazy.
He was so paranoid that he only saw dreams, and only his idol "Charlie Parker" in his heart, in order to become a top jazz drummer like Charlie Parker, so things had to make way for it. In order to regain the starting position, he can play drums all night until the calluses on his hands are broken, the blood is dripping on the drum surface, then find a Band-Aid to put on, and then play. Hit until you are satisfied, and you can earn back the down payment qualifications the next day. This is very similar to Bryant, who said that "if I feel something is wrong, I will stay there and train until I get it right."
He was paranoid and didn't export inferiorly at the dinner table, only because others questioned him about playing the drums and others questioned his ability to succeed. He hurt all the people, who were his elders and friends. Of course, I am convinced that the place of the drum in his soul at this time must be beyond all else, even sacred and unspeakable.
He was so paranoid that dating his first girlfriend would waste his time playing drums, so he broke up with his girlfriend. His little girlfriend is an ordinary, sweet-looking, no-ambition girl who doesn't have much thought and can't understand his inner passions. He even thought that playing the drums was an excuse for breaking up with her. Like all girls, she broke up briefly and sadly, and could immediately change boyfriends and live another sweet life. In essence, the thing of being in love is never indispensable to anyone. There's some crazy magic here! Then he woke up, his dream was completely shattered, and he was injured in a car accident, which led to a direct mess of the game. He has become a normal person who needs emotions, and then thinks of his ex-girlfriend, calls to try to get it back, but love never stays where it is waiting for you, and what you get may be regret, or maybe just a long sigh, half a pot of turbid wine.
He was paranoid to the point of taking everything, even his life, to the point of taking everything to the race on time. It's a place of rage, and it's hard to save! When he finally got his drumstick after all the hardships, he was seriously injured. His hands didn't listen at all, and then he simply regarded that performance as the most important thing in his life. That opportunity for him outweighed the full meaning of life.
Here his paranoia, his strength, and his desire for success blinded him to the possibilities of anything else. He is selfish to the point that as long as he can play, he disregards the interests of the team, the success or failure of the team, and the feelings of the audience.
What kind of person is Fletcher?
Fletcher, the Devil's Teacher, was never a successful educator. He never saw himself that way. He is also an extremely selfish man, and his purpose is not to cultivate musical talent, but to realize his own musical dream, which is to "find his own Charlie Parker". One would argue that finding and nurturing the next "Charlie Parker" isn't about cultivating top musical talent? The starting point is not, the starting point is to satisfy one's own selfish desires. His means are coercion, that is, all kinds of insults.
One of his gifted students committed suicide in depression, which I believe was largely destroyed by his educational means. Fletcher cried sadly. His crying was not for the student's life, but for the death of the musician who had lost a good musician, possibly the next Charlie Parker. This means that he is not crying for humanity and feelings, but sad for the loss of achievements.
What is his educational philosophy?
"You know Charlie Parker became the 'Big Bird' because Joe Jones hit him in the head with a cymbal. Then he became a top drummer. "It's all about the outcome, and he never cares about the process. In the process of destroying how many people's musical dreams, even self-confidence, life does not matter, only in the end there is a Charlie Parker, everything is worth it.
However, hurting people's self-esteem, extreme abuse, extreme suppression became his only means of education.
Did he find his own Charlie Parker?
Andrew deduced Fletcher on stage in retaliation, and Andrew's father reported Fletcher in retaliation, causing him to lose his job. In the end, Fletcher found Andrew, who said goodbye to music, seduced him, and seemed to hook his inner musical dream and rekindle the fire of his ideals. The purpose was to destroy him in front of everyone, making it impossible for him to intersect with music at all.
Just think about how a person with such an evil and deep heart can have a good starting point. In essence, Fletcher is a bad guy, a selfish, self-serving villain. But in order to dig out the genius of things, it is successful from the final result. He said "I never apologize for the efforts I made". Bryant said exactly the same thing.
That's because he met an as crazy demon as he was, just as unscrupulous to himself, only to succeed. So on stage, first mocking Andrew, and then Andrew rebelled and led the band with his own rhythm. Completely jump out of the conductor and use drums to conduct the orchestra.
Fletcher first wondered, slowly turned into encouragement, and finally into relief. He had finally found a Charlie Parker whom he had never been discouraged in his heart.
Perhaps, his suicidal student was a discouraged Charlie Parker.
Judging by the results, he was right: the next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged.
Finally, we looked at each other and smiled, and let go of the previous suspicions. He found his own Charlie Parker, and he became his own Charlie Parker!
That smile, where the heart will be, others can't understand it at all, but they tacitly agree!
At the end of the day, that's just a successful extremism that only applies to people who are paranoid in their hearts and not afraid of blood, tears and sweat!
The world is dominated by paranoia. They are also saviors.
