High energy warning - the following article contains spoilers

My brother recommended me to watch this movie a long time ago, but I have never watched it.

I know why he recommended it to me.

This is the state I was in for a period of time, just like the pig's feet in the movie.

However, in Chinese society, there are quite a few roles of this type.

Basically, it can be said that he is an ideal young man who becomes darker and darker after being hit by reality.

Becoming more and more cruel, forgetting his original intention more and more, pursuing a very extreme kind of success.

The protagonist Andrew is a drummer who loves music.

His idol is Charlie Parker, a jazz master.

He is introverted, sensitive, and unconfident. His only advantage is that he is good at playing the drums.

I also went to the best music conservatory in the world.

I came to Shelver Conservatory of Music with my ideals.

While practicing drumming, he met his devil coach Fletcher.

Fletcher selected him, but his teaching was very strict, even cruel.

He is selfish, and his purpose is to become famous and cultivate a successor.

He did not hesitate to use any means, beating and scolding his band members, throwing stools, targeting others' weaknesses in advance, and then specifically targeting their pain for attack.

For example, Andrew was abandoned by his mother when he was a child, and Fletcher specifically talked about him.

Since Pigfoot is in awe of the coach because of his musical talent and qualifications, he is qualified to say so.

The band members were scolded, beaten, tortured in their hearts and souls, and their self-confidence was undermined, but no one dared to resist him.

Because the future of their music lies in the hands of this person.

The protagonist is naturally very concerned about what the coach thinks of him.

His original intention gradually changed from loving music to pursuing Fletcher's recognition.

Whenever he received Fletcher's approval, he felt as if his soul had been washed.

But Fletcher praised very little, almost all of which were devastating blows.

The purpose is to coerce and drain the energy of members to achieve their own goals.

Andrew unfortunately fell into his trap due to his almost paranoid pursuit of Fletcher's approval.

He even abandoned his girlfriend, his hands bleed while practicing drums, and he even got into a car accident.

In the end, he used the energy of hatred in music.

He has long since lost his love.

His pursuit of the drums eventually soured.

From love to hate.

Although hatred is powerful, it comes at the expense of other things.

Just like a former student of Fletcher who committed suicide two years after graduation, it was because of the shadow left by Fletcher's teaching.

If I had to sum up this story it would be.

This is a story about a little boy with ideals and love who, after experiencing the baptism of worldly darkness, gradually turned into a kind of paranoid about success.

In the last performance, Andrew performed a perfect performance with a hand speed of over 400.

His father's smile slowly faded.

Because he only said that the original innocent and lovely son has disappeared, and now he has become a very utilitarian figure, strong enough to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, strong enough that maybe one day he can abandon me. Father.

In fact, similar stories like this are very common.

I think the pursuit of ideals is to obtain happiness.

But often, when we pursue our goals, we gradually deviate from the track.

Became a careerist and became an existence just to get recognition from others.

When I watch this movie now, I can still watch it with a more normal outlook.

If it were before, I might have admired this kind of person very much.

But now, I feel that this kind of character is definitely far from happiness.

And one general’s success will lead to thousands of bones drying up.
