I don't agree with this value

It is true that learning an instrument is very boring. I have also learned the piano, and when I practice, it is almost... But I think Andrew is too utilitarian about playing drums. No humane practice.
You could say he worked hard for his dreams, yes, but I didn't see his love for drums in this film. And his attitude towards his girlfriend, I also extremely despise. But in the end, in New York Concert Hall, I think he's a guy who doesn't follow the conductor and doesn't have a collective sense.
Fletcher reminds me of a teacher in high school. Of course, he is not as exaggerated as Fletcher. Fletcher is a complete and tyrannical education. For his own sense of achievement, he wantonly hurt the self-esteem and interests of others.
Well, maybe I have learned too much about education and can't appreciate this. But I will definitely avoid being such a teacher myself.
