I've had to in highschool choir. Our choir instructor was a perfectionist who hammered us into a well oiled machine. He did it through rage and fear. When I was doing a tour of the school before applying (was a private school) I sat in on a rehearsal where the choir sang a beautiful rendition of Mozart's Lacrimosa...then the choir director told the entire choir "that was a mediocre performance" and I was ushered out. What followed was four years of the best of times and worst of times in a choir ran by a perfectionist with anger issues. But we sang beautifully at all of our performances to standing ovations.

The most disturbing part of this whole movie in my opinion is seeing Fletcher talking to that little girl about joining his band when she's older. Knowing what Fletcher's like behind closed doors and how his abusive and mentally destructive behaviour caused one of his past students to commit suicide, and eventually Andrew's in the future, it's disgusting to put that dream into her head when you know what he could put her through when she grows up and plays for him. I like to think Fletcher is thinking at that point, "Once you're old enough, I'm gonna javelin throw a fucking clarinet at your head to push you beyond your limits".

@@G0DofRock Fletcher himself never takes responsibility for anything he has ever done. He never does accept the blame. I would be sympathetic to his worldview if he did this. Maybe Fletcher is right, and there is a jazz musician out there that only could become a Miles Davis through his abusive teaching style. However when confronted with the consequences of his actions, he denies it. He lies to his class about why his previous student dies, and when he is fired from the school he blames Neiman, even though out of all his students Neiman is the one who might might have made it all worth it. If Neiman had to give up everything to become the greatest he showed he is willing to accept that. He broke up with Nicole once he realised this, what's more he fully acknowledged it, not appealling to any fake motivation such as trying to protect her. But when Fletcher is faced with the same dilemma, having to confront the cost, he turns it on other's and actively tries to punish the people who force him to confront it. Fletcher only speakes of why his methods are justified, but they're just words. Ultimately this makes him a coward.

@SOLOcan
@SOLOcan 2 года назад
​@@anonymoususer638 If Neiman didn't end up challenging Fletcher do you think he would have found another way to push Neiman? No of course not. If that was the eventual outcome, Fletcher would be satisfied with destroying Neiman's music reputation and that would be the end of the story. However perhaps for Fletcher becoming the next great is contingent on overcoming adversity through direct confrontation of the teacher. There is no other way. Sure I can see that. However if Neiman, after having suffered another humiliation, commits suicide, do you think Fletcher will lie to other people about what happens? Of course he will, he already does that. Fletcher never takes ownership of any of the actions, he lies about his part in the suicide of his original protegee, abandons his current student when he becomes unstable despite the fact he did instead *proves* he has required dedication he is looking for, and he blames others when forced to confront his consequences, taking revenge on Neiman for telling the truth I'll now reframe the question, do you think Fletcher wants the next Buddy Rich, or do you rather think that Fletcher wants to be the teacher of the next buddy rich? When Neiman realised it would take everything to become great he breaks up with his current girlfriend. What's important however is when he does he doesn't come up with some fake excuse that he's really doing it to protect Nicole. He's brutally honest, Nicole will hold him back. Neiman trying embodies Fletchers philosophy. Yes he hurt Nicole, but he doesn't shy away from what that makes him look like, he completly acknowledges he's a dick, he takes ownership of that. The only thing that matters is the music, it doesn't matter what people think of him. If destroying people is what it takes to create the next great, then so be it, but Fletcher doesn't want that. Fletcher should say, yes I caused Casey to commit suicide, yes I infact I do abuse my students. That is the cost, it will be worth it. But when it's time for him to personally pay the cost he avoids this duty. Is he willing to give up his reputation as the teacher of the next great? No, he is only willing to take on that mantle after Neiman becomes the great. Fletcher is just a coward.

You misunderstood. Fletcher is not a psychopath. Fletcher is in fact very giving and somewhat altrustic, too. But in an oldschool way that you only know if you understand what "tough love" really means. A psychopath would have behaved the opposite the entire movie duration: -> At first, gas people up -> Get them to do their part -> Drop them the moment they stop being useful Fletcher did the opposite. IN the beginning Nieman was useless and he built and rebuilt him until he was. He then let him have his golden moment at the end.

I think this teacher demonstrates how great music happens despite people like him. Yes, musicians work extraordinarily hard and push themselves, but every great teacher knows that a great musician is already hard enough on themselves and will get the job done if it's in them to do it. When you show up to this level of a group, the instructor already expects everyone to have the charts in hand, and now it's about getting the group to gel. His weird hyper-tempo OCD is unrealistic, he'd tell him to mark it and practice (maybe suggest a recording example for context) and then move on, and the kid would go to his private lesson (bc he would definitely be taking them at that level) and work on it. If he showed up again without improving, he'd either cut him or hammer it out after rehearsal, not humiliate him in front of everyone. At the end of the day, teacher can pick whatever chart he wants, but he also knows that the recordings where guys are killing it comes as much from group chemistry and experience as it does from talent and practice. If a teacher ever treated a group like this, the good musicians would transfer because they have half a dozen other ensembles they play for and have no time to waste stroking this guy's power trip and bad leadership. If clapping out a beat and berating a student isn't getting the job done, maybe go about it another way. JK Simmons was fantastic, but he was a failure as a leader and mentor.

As someone in the military, when you lose something incredibly important, a lot of people will take that item and make it seem like another lower level person took it. It’s safe for me to assume that Fletcher indeed took the folder in order to compensate Neiman’s desire to play and by taking the folder, engaging that opportunity for Neiman to play without any notes whatsoever and by pure memory. Purely malicious for sure but very interesting to see this shown in film.

He totally ravaged that one fat kid who ended up committing suicide, and for what? He wasn't even the one who was out of tune, right? This is what's called abusiveness. The only person who 'benefits' from it is Fletcher's own ego, and dark inner desire to hurt others who are subordinate to him. This is the kind of authoritarian abusiveness that happens in low-class families (like Trump supporters). And it only serves to destroy... destroy relationships, lives, spirits, souls.

Just another instance of pushing people cause that's the only way to reveal what's truly inside. He talks about this repeatedly. He saw an opportunity and took it. If Neiman didn't step up, eventually the folder would have been found before they went on stage. Pretty safe gamble with a huge potential reward. =)

I absolutelly love the dilemmas that this movie brings about music in general, as a musician i know that if you only play "having fun" you most certainly will get stagnated playing the same shit forever and ever, practicing, and i mean REAL practicing is the most boring and stressful thing, you get that exercise and you do it 300x until you know it in the depths of your soul, that is REALLY not fun, but when you finally get it you can have some fun with it, in the case of musicians like andrew it will almost never happen since he will never stop pushing that limit, because he wants to be the best, and is totally up to you to know if it is worth to destroy your social life by practicing 8h+ each day to be one of the bests

If Fletcher did take the folder then i would like to see that scene. Fletcher must've been very close, watching, probably predicted he'd leave the folder on the chair to buy something from the vending machine. Fletcher then with his perfect timing, swiftly snatched the folder and smoothly ran to the quickest exit. Or maybe he came in from the ceiling attached to a wire like a jewel thief.

I honestly find it kinda weird that some people defend JK Simmons character in this movie. Its not a requirement to be a sadistic bully to be a good teacher. In fact its probably very detrimental to creating good, genuinely passionate musicians. People who think screaming at students and calling them retards is good teaching must have never had a good teacher in their lives. The only credit you can give him is that he runs an effective boot camp.

The likelihood of Fletcher stealing the folder is actually pretty damn high if you think about it. Those folders really only serve THIS purpose, so a thief would get NOTHING out of stealing one. And this is a musical competition. If another musician accidentally grabbed the folder, they would have returned to try to rectify the situation or turned the folder into the judges/their band director to avoid a shitstorm. No, whoever took that folder WANTED it to vanish at that exact moment.

I always had this theory that Neiman never really messed up the tempo in whiplash like fletcher was saying he was. In the end with that whole "good job" scene and Charlie Parker story, it becomes immensely clear that Neiman always had the talent, Fletcher knew it and just wanted to push him (like how Parker was pushed). I also believe that it was Fletcher who took the folder, to afford Neiman the opportunity he was so desperately craving. He knew he was practicing that same song everyday after their first meeting. He knew Neiman knew it by heart, he didn't have to ask, just wanted to see the level of confidence he had in a high stress situation. Brilliant writing.

He earned Fletcher's respect, but he didn't even need it at that point.
