It’s not because I saw several friends discussing this movie with different attitudes and angles, and I wanted to say a few words, but because of the eight Oscar nominations this year, I like this one the most. "Burst Drummer". I think there is no shortage of misunderstandings among my friends, because JK For Simmons's outstanding performance, many friends mistakenly believed that he was the protagonist of the film, so they transferred their dislike of the sadomasochistic Bole to the dislike of the film. This misunderstanding is a pity. In fact, "Burst Drummer" is very in line with American mainstream values, otherwise it would not be selected for the Oscar, which represents the aesthetic taste of most middle-class people. What it wants to say is very simple, that is, "believe in personal struggle." This is a bit of chicken soup, which easily obscures the rich expressions of the film, such as the relationship between teachers and students. But this film really reminds me of Simone Weil’s words: “If there is a desire, and if what is desired is really bright, then the desire for light will produce light.” Since adulthood, we thought we knew it. A lot of truth. For example, 1% inspiration is more important than 99% perspiration; iron rods can be ground into needles, but wooden sticks cannot. He hesitated about his talents before making any effort, missed the great time, and finally regretted it. Here, I want to throw out a statement that may attract countless bricks: In the art issue, what matters is not talent, but how much you desire for it. If you are eager enough, then talent will find you. I’m not a fan of Joe, but Jobs’ quote from Stewart Brand makes me feel distressed: stay hungry, stay stupid. Andrew's efforts for success surpassed the success itself. In the face of such an effort, success has been diminished. This is the light produced by the desire itself. When you are really awesome, nothing can stop you, even the ceiling of your field. Many friends also said, isn’t it just for quickness? It's jazz, how can you just be quick? I agree with my friend's statement that when I was in college, my buddies were full of disdain for a guitarist called "Shadow Hand" (the fastest in the world). He said that he was playing extreme sports, not music. Having said that, fast, maybe to pursue a kind of maximum freedom in music. The performance of Buddy Ritchie, whom Andrew admires, can see the degree of freedom that technology brings him. It is the perfect combination of emotion and technology. The speed is extremely fast but not out of control. Only if you have such a large space first can you have such a corresponding amount of freedom. I think Andrew's relationship is normal. There is no scumbag. Andrew must like that girl, but he gave his love to the drum, so it is inevitable to lose love. That girl also likes Andrew, but she has an ego and doesn't want to be an agent or nanny for the rest of her life. Very beautiful love, but also very regretful. Andrew's perseverance and desire even defeated the sordidness between people. If Andrew is a melancholic person, then the hostility will turn into nasty, but the sunny and persistent Andrew defeated the perverted and insidious teacher Fletcher. After watching the movie, I thought of Simone Wei's words at the first moment. "If there is a desire, and if what is desired is really bright, then the desire for light will produce light." Perhaps the only thing that can transcend light is the desire for light. 2015.1.25
