To me, this scene represents a form of reversion back to the most principle understanding of music for both characters. Here, both characters, Fletcher and Andrew, view music as art, as expression, as opposed to an objective format of glory and greatness. It shows how far they've both strayed away from what music actually is to many people, which is ironic considering the ending of the film.
Yes, thank you for writing what I was thinking. Each character in this moment separately understand, in his own way, maybe just on a subconscious level, that this is truly what it’s about.
@@kookbrah640 im absolutely not hating on you man but sometimes it’s baffling to me how something can sound so good to one person but perhaps off beat to another. Either way I appreciate the perspective!
I think I can understand what Andrew is feeling towards the end of Fletcher's playing. As much as Andrew wanted to put jazz behind him after his interactions and experiences with Fletcher, his love for jazz was too great for him to ignore it completely. He looks past his "disdain" for Fletcher and just appreciates the music itself. The actor did such a great job in expressing the longing for getting back his passion. I really love this scene so much because of how I see myself in Andrew.
There’s a beautiful duality with Fletcher in this scene. The sense of defeat because of his fall from grace at Shaffer and the quiet dignity of his overall love for music sitting in with a simple jazz quartet. A lot is happening in just 90 seconds here.
can’t really describe it, but J.K Simmons acts Fletcher’s character absolutely perfectly, so authentic and so consistent as a personality throughout the film it’s amazing
Heh, you know I thought the exact same thing initially, but thinking about it more, I think the purpose of this song is to shock the audience by showing a very soft, gentle side of Fletcher. It raises some interesting questions about his character. He's a huge asshole when he's "teaching" others how to play; he's chaotic, angry, and seems perpetually unhappy. But when he's actually playing music, he's calm, seems to be at peace, and looks happy. And so it raises the question of why he's devoted his life to teaching music rather than playing it. Also, his instrument is the piano, not the drums, despite his seeming obsession with the drums above all the other instruments in his band, fixating on absolute perfection from the drums - and yet he himself isn't a drummer. That's another little surprise mind-fuck for the audience.
Kanisto also, he didn’t nearly have enough players for a hard bop band, and the club probably didn’t let him play that. Also that audience didn’t seem like. The type to appreciate that kind of jazz
Lame? This is art in motion. And before you say it is easy to play, maybe it is if you’ve practiced for years, but as an experienced musician, I can tell you it’s more difficult than you’d think
@ProteusXF I think this song was written specifically for the movie. It's the Soundtrack #5, and it's called same as the tittle of this video. At first I thought was the one from Petrucciani but you're right, it's only similar at the main melody, not quite the same song hehehe
Being a musician myself, I understand why musicians would criticize this scene. But besides that, it's pure art. Shows another face of Fletcher, he's calm. He's not there for a big audience, but to play for himself, and not the audience. Of course everybody cheering at the end it's the recognition he's always addicted to... But to be in a bar like this, that would be a very precious moment for me, and probably think: that piano player must be a very good human being... That's the art in this. Pure cinema.
The guy with the glasses reminds me of Miles Davis, which made me also interpret this setting as some strange universe of old Jazz musicians of the past that Fletcher got swept into after getting fired.
In spite of fletcher being a extreme asshole, there's something that anyone can feel during his play at the piano. You can feel something so real and in pain,emotion,beauty... His methods were extreme but overall in the end he made neiman the best drummer that the whole world won't forget.
I want to play Piano like this. I said hello to Mr. Simmon on the Elevator on the set of "OZ", He had his Bike. JK is a good guy. I would love to work with him...
I still don't know what this scene means. You know how Fletcher talked about soulless Starbuck jazz? Well it's exactly what he's playing there. So is this scene really clever, giving the realization that he's actually not the great jazz master he's pretending to be, or is it a really bad scene where the writers didn't realize they know nothing about jazz?
I'm only high-school level music geek, but what makes good jazz vs bad jazz?? I found the song here pleasant, if obviously not the white-knuckle performance Fletcher demands of his students.
I swear to god, If I was Andrew it that scene seeing Flecther playing all smooth and relaxed right there and then, I would’ve hurled a chair right at him and tell him “Not quite my tempo” for all the shit he put him through 😂😂😂
이곡을 기본적이고 단순하다고 말하는 사람들을 종종봅니다. 제 의견은 그렇지 않습니다. 특히 저 장면에 사운드 연출은 더더욱 쉽지 않아요. 단순해보이지만 음정도 박자도, 힘조절도 너무나 정교합니다. 솔직히 연주자들은 느끼실거에요. 그래서 플렛처가 이음악을 연주했던건 당연해보입니다. 이영화의 가장 좋아하는 장면과 음악입니다.
That’s probably the point. Here’s this gatekeeping, abusive hardass who takes it upon himself to determine who does and does not ‘deserve’ to do their art by seeing how well they meet his impossibly high and confusing standards. And his own art is… just okay. It’s a formative experience for many once they leave art school. It gives you perspective that you just don’t get within the four walls of the institution.
I love how this scene basically proves that Fletcher is a complete fraud. The guy who goes on about greatness and virtuosity, who basically abuses his students claiming that it's to push them towards being great, who strives for absolute perfection from those in the big bands he conducts... What does he play at his own gigs? This... Not bad music by any means, it's a pretty melody and easy to listen to, but it's downright mediocre, especially coming from him. It's something you'd hear on a "Starbucks jazz" album that he would decry only moments later. Makes me wonder if Fletcher is so interested in finding the next big jazz star because he knows he can never be great himself, and the anger he feels towards his students is simply him redirecting the anger he feels towards himself over his own failure
@@LeNguyen-yy6vr Los Angeles! Fight Club was filmed on location in Los Angeles, California. Filming also took place at Los Angeles Center Studios and 20th Century Fox Studios.
You notice how Fletcher is enjoying playing in this scene, and how Andrew barely is enjoying it in the movie? The thought that was running through my head throughout the entire movie was if you're not enjoying playing music, then you're not playing it right. it's that simple.

@@Max-bj3mi who are you ‘who?’ing
I think it was just a misrepresenting soundtrack from a classically trained musician with little understanding of jazz.

he felt guilt and shame AND confusión because he tough he ruined his career
Imagine the bassplayer shouting at him "Not my tempo. Play slower!!"
Lmao
He'd get a piano thrown at him
Dude on the bongos deserves more recognition for this beauty
He wasn’t on tempo
@@kookbrah640 that's bossa Nova for you.

I just wanna sit in this club and listen to this all night.....gorgeous!

Jinny Hyojin Lee me too I love the atmosphere.
You can sit back with your eyes shut and listen to this. It’s beautiful.
NOT MY TEMPO
bruhh its literallly elevator music
perhaps, someday i will be so smooth as the guy on glasses at the beggining of the shot

I don't know why but he seems like he smells really good

The irony of Fletcher being such a hardass when teaching/conducting only to play the most basic coffee shop shit I've ever heard.
starbucks jazz
I would not call this basic lol
@@Jack-oh3omI read a musicians review of this movie online and he also pointed out this scene destroying all of fletchers credibility
@@AbdulGabagool83i mean it was JK Simmons playing and he’s an actor, not a musical virtuoso
@@rehobalint1100he is also a musician
can’t really describe it, but J.K Simmons acts Fletcher’s character absolutely perfectly, so authentic and so consistent as a personality throughout the film it’s amazing
My only wish in life, is to be as smooth as the guy in sunglasses at the start
Cup of whiskey with a cigarette and peacefully listening to this at the venue is all I ask for.
Leave the bottle too.
Whenever I feel discouraged or lost in life, this is the scene I need for inspiration.
Demands hard bop from his students, plays the lamest bossa nova tune on Earth.

LOL!!! Not exactly Art Tatum or Thelonious Monk eh, Mr. Terence Fletcher???
Adam Kent-Isaac My thoughts exactly
Lame? This is art in motion. And before you say it is easy to play, maybe it is if you’ve practiced for years, but as an experienced musician, I can tell you it’s more difficult than you’d think
*flips the piano*
WHAT PART OF NOT MY FUCKING TEMPO DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND????!!!!!
Andrew: HOW DOES IT FEEL!!!!!
😂😂😂
WHAT WILL YOU PLAY AFTER 500 YEARS
I really like the shot where the camera focuses on Fletchers hands playing the keys on the piano
I love this scene, and this song, so much. Damn.
love how fletcher is fully playing starbucks jazz before going on a rant at how starbucks jazz is taking over the world for the worst
The name of the song is "Fletcher's Song In Club" by Justin Hurwitz
Testicle man plays the piano. Nice.
I love this song so much
I love that movie~~~~!!!!!!!!

Mr. Fletcher : He is too strict and cruel to other people, but gentle to himself.
이 연주 너무 좋아 귀가 녹아 내린다 황홀해
Best ending to a jazz song I’ve heard in a while
It wasn’t spicy enough for my taste
not quite my tempo
My friend that's style it's a kind of smooth mixed whit jazz Cubano, saludos desde Colombia
J. C. Pava bossa nova?
I demand a long improvised version.

this is my favorite part !!
Right on man
beautiful piano playing
One of my favorite movies ever
soft caressness to the heart
Bill Evans quote at the end there
Nicholas White which one
im in love with the film and the song ❤
beautiful scene
I wish there could be an entire song like this
The song is called “Fletchers song in the club” by Jason Hurwitz
Not quite my tempo
영화를 보다가 수십번은 돌려서 들었던...
Man.. JK Simmons is one of the finest talented in playing piano too
If I recall correctly, JK Simmons said he had to practice this over and over again, because he doesn’t know how to play piano.
That Ab at 0:55 is definitely off tune. That would've given Fletcher a heart attack right there.
THEN WHY THE FREAK DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?!
“Right on, man”
The only sad thing ab this is that I will never be able to hear this song in a jazz bar😪
Bless you sunglasses man.
The guy with the glasses reminds me of Miles Davis, which made me also interpret this setting as some strange universe of old Jazz musicians of the past that Fletcher got swept into after getting fired.

you know you did good when a guy in a jazz bar calls out "right on man"
after listening to that beautiful piece, i'd wanna buy him a drink 🍺
The longing in the scene...
he bullied andrew because of the incorrectly fast tempo but he actually play slow tempo's song
I want to play Piano like this. I said hello to Mr. Simmon on the Elevator on the set of "OZ", He had his Bike. JK is a good guy. I would love to work with him...
I love this song....... It reminds me of a 1950s , Blue Note, simplified, toned down, shorter version of Joe Sample Ashes to Ashes.
I still don't know what this scene means. You know how Fletcher talked about soulless Starbuck jazz? Well it's exactly what he's playing there.
