As a drummer, some feelings after watching the movie

Before watching this movie, I saw the film drummer made by Leslie Cheung. Although the burst drummer is undoubtedly a lot of high-end comparison in any level, the general line is a bit the same. The protagonist likes to play drums very much, and he gave up because of some setbacks. Then, for some reason, he grabbed the drumstick again and succeeded. (Actually, at the end of the burst drummer, does the protagonist become a great drummer? What is the meaning of a bald, knowing smile? This may be the director's intention. Let everyone imagine).

What I want to talk about is mainly about the performance of musical instruments and the values ​​of musicians in the movie. The bald head in the movie is an extremist who is a devil coach. His aura is very scary. I think it is very scary. He advocates using extreme methods to motivate students. Their potential makes them great masters.

I don’t know if the master must be created through such a cruel process, but I think if the music itself has only high-intensity pressure, can it really make a happy movement? Jazz makes me feel happy, It makes people sway, but the expression of the protagonist’s multiple dead speeds when playing the drums makes me feel awkward. Of course, it should be the plot of the movie, because whether the drummers can beat the drums well, it’s very important to learn. Relax, but playing jazz with that kind of suffocated expression is really strange. If that state is used to play extreme metal, it would be more harmonious.

A lot of blood-stained drumsticks and blood-splattered drumsticks were used in the shots, which is really exaggerated. Normally, it is normal for fingers to be blistered and calluses. Learn to play drums. After watching it, parents of children may also consider whether to let them learn drums, haha.

I have seen a lot of film reviews saying that the blood is boiling, but I really don't feel that. The jazz is rendered into sweatshops, which makes my whole person feel very bad, and I don't feel as good as I imagined.

    Use music to force...The screenwriter will not play the cards as you want after planning, but make all the abnormal trends reasonable and better. This kind of wisdom has made the script a great breakthrough. When it comes to video, the editing, photography and music work well together. The internal and external transformations required by the two protagonists in the script are all done well, and the viewers are heartily. The female match line is completely reduced to cannon fodder.

    In the end they smiled at each other and looked satisfied. I finally understood that this is a movie about SM training. It’s hard to agree with this kind of humiliating way of training. It has nothing to do with music or jazz drums. Enthusiasm is bullshit, and I don’t understand the perverted world.

Whiplash quotes

  • Terence Fletcher: Either you're deliberately out of tune and sabotaging my band, or you don't know you're out of tune, and that's even worse.

  • Terence Fletcher: For the record, Metz wasn't out of tune. You were, Erickson, but he didn't know and that's bad enough.
