      And to be more accurate, he doesn’t say that he factually ends up like Charlie Parker, he says that he has a idea of him ending up like Charlie Parker, among a couple of other things that he says he probably would’ve/could’ve put in the last moments of the movie. He never sets in stone the actual ending of Andrew, just floats around on possibilities, which is good, because not all masters dedicated to their crafts end up exactly like Charlie Parker, so to insinuate that they all do would’ve been a little…ugh yk? Leaves the ending much more open to interpretation, and ultimately makes the movie better.

      Except that: That is a complete lie, at best: an amoral, misconstrued fabrication of what "makes" or "construes" "artistic greatness."
      The flawed instructor, with his inherent, overarching power, will, ALWAYS, create: damaged, inept, undeserving, reimaginations of him-or herself.
      The damage is passed down, not in, simply, the brutality upon others, but on the ideological beliefs & practices which are demonstrated as "the necessary" traits, beliefs, practices (although: this is entirely inept, delusional and incorrect.).
      Because: the possession of power corrupts
      ...and those who are corrupt and who are easily corruptible, are attracted to power (nay: LUST, unremittingly, for it!).
      ...in fact: there is little-to-nothing about "drive" or "passion" or "perfectionism" in this film (or the constructs in it); the facts are:
      abstruse self-importance, inability to accept: any challenge to one's-own "superiority" or delusional self-importance; utter egotism

    My d1 head coach was the sweetest, most personable and friendly person you'd ever meet during recruitment. He kept up that act for over a year. I went in as a freshman on a full scholarship and one of their top recruits, so I thought I was sitting pretty. Our first conditioning session in the fall, he ran us until even the vets and upperclassmen were throwing up. I got to a point where I felt like I was going to pass out, it was bad. I went over to coach and told him I didn't feel good, was very dizzy. He didn't take his eyes off the line. He just said "you can go back in line and keep running, or you can go the fuck home and never come back". That sudden shift in demeanor was eye opening, to say the least. He was my Fletcher, but worse. A diabolical sociopath with a hair trigger for a temper. As much as he tried to kill us physically (didn't mind that part), it was the psychological warfare that was truly twisted. Most people in the program quit, but I didn't come that far to let that prick take it from me. This was 25 years ago. He's still coaching today. I doubt he still gets away with all the shit he did to us then, but I'm sure he still has his ways. So yeah, this movie brings back a lot of memories lol.

When I hear Tom Brady or Michael Jordan talk about how they push themselves to a limit that would break every other person, or how they need motivation through any type of adversity I can understand why reaching that fame and level is worth it for some people. Even in the movie with Andrew breaking up with his girlfriend and giving her that reason makes sense to me. You see those athletes say how its impossible to balance it, if you want to get to that level then you cant let anything interfere.

    There can be no achievement without adversity, there can be no greatness without suffering. We all know the hardest diamonds are shaped with the greatest pressure. I think deep down we all know Fletcher and Andrew are correct. People, talented people, settle all the time. They accept "good enough" and never achieve anything worthy of being remembered. I think the world owes a debt of thanks to the Andrews of the world that bleed for greatness and the Fletchers thats drive them. There is a reason every college basketball fan remembers Bobby Knight and no one gives a shit about the guys who came after.

    My brother and I are both jazz musicians, though he took it much more seriously than I did and went to Julliard for two years. He came out an outstanding guitarist but HATED the experience because he met a lot of teachers like Fletcher and a lot of students completely willing to throw anyone and everyone under the bus to appease teachers like that.

      You can kind of also see Fletchers effects one the other students also. It would be horrible to think that these students might also end up adopting his teaching methods, should they become teachers 😥😮

    For most of us Fletcher is not a real person but an internal voice: Self doubt, hatred, criticism, limiting, we need to confront and overcome if we're brave enough to find our personal level of greatness. Great movie, great acting, great everything not like some recent "best picture" winners.

    25:55 no, he actually has something to pursue. I can relate to him, and I've learnt it the hard way that what he did actually is the right thing to do, which is being blunt and direct if you want that someone to move on and for HIM to move on and focus.

    Have you ever seen 2007's "Across The Universe". It's a jukebox musical. All Beatles songs; interpreted by the cast. A love story between an British guy and an American girl, set in the late '60s / early '70s. With the Vietnam war in the background. Starring Jim Sturgess, Evan Rachel Wood & Joe Anderson. Directed by Julie Taymor.
    My favorite movie of all time. I would LOVE to see your reaction.

    Even though I wasn't a big fan of this movie there are a couple of things that I liked about it. The ending, but also, I like that the solo that Miles Teller's character plays at the end of the movie is the same one he's been working on/practicing since the beginning of the movie.
    The director of the movie said that Miles Teller did 90% of the drum playing himself.
    By the way the Charlie Parker becoming "Bird" story isn't exactly accurate. Yes, he did have a solo that he screwed up, but Jones did not throw a cymbal at his head. The cymbal landed at Parker’s feet. It startled him more than it threatened any bodily harm. Witnesses described it as more of a playful gesture than a malicious one; a way of telling Parker that Jones disapproved of his performance, and it was time to stop.

    Counterpart.

  • @MarcoMM1
    @MarcoMM1 Месяц назад

    Great reaction like always, this movie is epic, this movie certainly had its fair share of stand-in and filmmaking magic at its disposal, Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons’s respective musical background ensured that their characters’ talents were well-realized as far as their musical talent was concerned. Teller had been playing drums since he was 15 and took on additional classes before filming to sell Andrew’s sublime skill on screen. Simmons on the other hand has a musical degree and played piano in the past and was able to sink into his role after a bit of practice before filming began.
    While the movie is not an exact carbon copy of the 2013 short film that inspired it, there is one line of dialogue that made its way into the big screen that surprised one of its leads. After having successfully played Andrew to his own twisted whims, Fletcher decides to verbally abuse the unfortunate freshman during which the cruel instructor menacingly states that he “will f**k him like a pig”. Initially, the line was supposed to be “I will gut you like a pig” but Chazelle found the former hilarious (especially since that Simmons misspoke while delivering the line) and opted to use it despite J.K. Simmons deeming the colorful piece of dialogue ridiculous. Keep up the good work.

    Some people complain that the movie isnt a good drumming/jazz movie like how some people present it, but thats not the point. You arent supposed to watch this and end up thinking about how nice jazz and drums actually are. its about the deadly pursuit of perfectionism above all else, and the abusive manipulation by an opportunistic authority, and in the end, Fletcher wins, he got his Bird. Its an uncomfortable movie but so well done on such a crunch. Simmons did a fantastic job too ofc, just a single glare from him here is far scarier than any horror movie ive seen.

  • @Fafhrd42

    I feel like this and Black Swan are a great double feature. Both about self-destruction in pursuit of artistic perfection.
    Also, fun fact about spit valves: it's not actually spit. It's condensation from the player's breath. That's why you have to empty it more frequently before the instrument is fully warmed up, or if playing in a cold environment.

  • @VorpalBunnysRevenge

    "It's not even gonna be fun anymore." Well, they're not studying to have fun. They're studying to make choices under pressure and stand by them. Artists make choices not accidents. And this is a competition band. (And J.K. Simmons makes a wonderfully sinister slavedriver.)
    I went through something like this in drama school. Nothing this intense, but then I wasn't making a movie to heighten certain experiences for an audiences. I could probably do it today, though. But if I had a taskmaster like Fletcher at the time I wouldn't have survived. I would have crumpled.
    Thankfully, I had the kind of teachers and directors I needed. Don't worry. You'll never see me on TV or in the movies. But I really enjoy what little work I get to do and my personal life is so much better for the experience.
    I got what I wanted and needed. The money for it was wasted but the time was not.

    Fun! A really good and short lived series with J.K. Simmons is “Counterpart” his acting in that show was phenomenal as well as the entire cast, it had great writing, and a really fun premise. Also I can recommend two other J.K. Simmons films if you haven’t seen them, “Juno” (2007) and “Thank you for smoking” (2005) In any event thank you for reacting to this, and the other shows and movies on your channel!
