Oh god. Dropping that girl was the dumbest move I've ever seen somebody make. What an idiotic movie. Drives me crazy.

Fletcher*

No monster at all. They were perfect compliments for each other

🙏🏾

J.K Simmons is good in invincible as well

Simmons was great in the series Party Down. He wasn't a regular but the 2 shows he was in is hilarious. Great series you should check out.

@@GoatBoat22 Heavily agreed. Omni-Man gives career resurgence and I love it.

@@christhrasher9892 Will do. Thank you for the recommendation friend. I've heard a lot of good things about Party Down throughout the years. Love me some Jane Lynch so off of her alone I feel inclined to watch it 😂

Oz was good... until the last three Seasons or so.

lol Nick Cannon would've ended this movie in the first 5 minutes.

One drum, a snare drum. One. So no, nick cannon was not doing this shit in high school, and if you remember what his problem was, he wouldn't last 5 min here. Fletcher would never have someone who couldn't read sheet music.

@@86leewis They're just joking, brother. It ain't that serious.

@@ARWG sorry

Nick not being able to read music would’ve worked perfectly. This way he could always be on the right tempo!

fellow musician 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾

lol we should've known!

I agree!

Thank you so much!

facts

That's exactly who I was talking about... RIP 🙏🏾

Were we rushing or dragging?

Glad you enjoyed it

lol facts, shit was crazy and funny

EASYYY, masterpiece

Or the worst.

@@EyeTunz or NOT

@@EyeTunz sorry it's not Fast and Furious 19 bro. Don't worry it's coming though.

Oz the prison show? I had no idea he was in that.

@@FriendRequestReviews Oh you gotta watch, it's probably the best performance of his career.

It was an awesome ride for sure.

How can this be a favorite movie??? It's about an asshole bully??? I wish I understood the appeal.

Different strokes for different folks, sometimes you don’t have to understand the appeal.

He definitely impressed Fletcher. It's a tale about the price of perfection. However, the director has stated that Andrew will more than likely achieve his potential at the cost of an early death. This is a call back to many great musicians that die relatively young, including Charlie Parker who died at 34. Fletcher's method works, but it's a heavy cost that almost enslaves the musician to him. Andrew hates but respects Fletcher approval and desperately wants it.

@@Zikk0_o true none of that is up for dispute but it doesn’t really answer any of the questions at heart. Even if he does reach his full potential, were Fletchers methods the only way to achieve it? And was it worth it for Fletcher to have his career end in disgrace and drive someone to suicide just to find a single great musician?

@User77288 Is it the only way? Ultimately, no. However, in Andrew's case, he needed that extra push that only Fletcher seemed to be able to provide. His father, while supportive, wasn't pushing him to do better and was satisfied with a pretty ordinary life. Andrew wants more and wants to be the best no matter what. He was in a situation where hardly anyone cared about his profession, so the moment someone like Fletcher took interest was just the thing he needed to fully commit. With Fletcher, I get the impression that he doesn't care about losing his job so long as he gets what he's been searching for. We see that he has no problem getting gigs even if they're not as prestigious, so money and career aren't his main drive. His dream is to find and mold the next Charlie Parker. I think he does somewhat care about the one kid's suicide, but in a messed up way because ultimately the kid did become a good player when everyone thought he wouldn't. I think the scene of him playing the kid's music is him trying to justify his methods to the band and mainly Andrew.

When the director was asked what he thought happened to Andrew after the movie, he said he probably died young as a drug addict.

@User77288 It's not the only way, but it's kinda what Andrew needed. His father was too passive and didn't push him to be better at his craft. Andrew didn't like they idea of being average, and Fletcher was the only one to challenge him to be better. I think we also have to take into account that Andrew is at that age where he feels pressured to find a career path because time is running out with what he loves doing. Fletcher didn't really seem to care too much about the job, and we see that he's still able to get gigs and people to play for him. I think he does somewhat care about his players, but in a warped or messed up way. Him playing the music of the one deceased kid is him trying to justify his methods to everyone in the room. According to him, the kid wasn't very talented, but in the end, he became good, even though it cost him his life. I also think for Andrew it was a final warning as to what awaits him if he continues down this path with Fletcher.

I feel that!

Movie was phenomenal 😁

okay, thanks!

L take. The movie isn't supposed to be a representation of jazz music, it's a psychological drama about the dangers of seeking perfection. It could have just as easily been a sports movie.

Exactly! This is my most hated movie of all time. I stopped watching new films after seeing this.

@@GuitarMonster86 It's about the dangers of employing a psychopath to be a teacher.

@@GuitarMonster86 Exactly. I guess It's just because I have a spot soft for Jazz... It hurt me to see a Duke Ellington song become the focal point of such a brutal movie.
