It doesn't matter if his justification for acting like an unstable psychopath is "tough love" and making the few students who don't just leave due to the abuse "better"; influencing people to destroy their entire life and all of their relationships so they can play fricking jazz music better is utterly moronic.
Fletcher is a hack and a conman who has around 50 failures for every one success his teaching method produces. You don't even need a 3-hour video essay to tell you this, it's blatantly made clear by the film itself if you're paying attention.
Fletcher was passionate about jazz, and did everything he could to make sure that the only students worth a damn would be adding to it while all the dregs came to hate it because of him. Based as frick
You don't have to attend the lessons moron. You can as well blame the school for tolerating his teaching methods. If you are not competent enough, quit and do something else, that's not Fletcher's fault.
Furthermore, how was he never physically assaulted? Throwing things at people and berating them seems like a sure fire way to get punched in the fricking head.
Fletcher's not about good or evil. To Fletcher, jazz is something beyond morality in terms of importance It's a singular, all consuming passion to which he has sublimated his heart and intellect. Fletcher, and ultimately the protagonist, are these kinds of people. You either fall inside the same category as them, or you don't. They don't see people any differently. And in a real sense, they are different.
Yeah, the lead didn't like being hazed but you can tell he ultimately understood why fletcher was being such an butthole. It was in pursuit of a transcendent performance. Fletcher was tasked with mentoring his students to unlock that performance. He came up lacking because his anger and sadism were not enough to create the next great act.
The problem is that this particular "kind of people", while capable of producing great works, also simultaneously have the potential to be the so "dedicated" that they end up sacrificing children on flaming altars.
Fanatics are ultimately unstable and dangerous if (or when) their obsession gets out of hand. Putting one single thing at the absolute forefront of your life, to the exclusion of even the wellbeing of others, is how the tophets get dug.
he is only abusive in the context of his class, you can always drop out or find a different program. YOU chose to stay and endure because you are a MAN with BALLS
I had a college professor who behaved a lot like Fletcher. It was for a 100-level poly-sci class.
I assume he's Hindu, and my greatest disappointment is that I might not be able to piss on his grave when he dies.
I'll hate that man for the rest of my life.
Nah it was pretty good. What causes you to have this emotional reaction to it? Did you watch it after fighting with a friend or girlfriend? Did someone you despise like it?
i went to see this movie with our conductor and he never was the same.
he stopped hanging out with us
random outbursts
he'd tell us to call our parents to pick us up when we weren't on our game
and guess what
im 3rd chair strings at the L.A Phil Harmonic now.
I ended up texting him after class and taking him to dinner
he sexed my ass
Not quite my tempo
Fletcher was based and all of these homosexuals keep acting like he's some kind of bad guy. It's very annoying
He is blatantly the bad guy.

they were white dudes professionally playing jazz
you really think they have a spine capable of standing up for themselves?
How many successes do you have?

He almost maimed a student with a crash symbol
I've willfully listened to dozens of hours of videos like that about rpgs I've never played.
nooo you can't have fun like that because... you just can't, okay?
Yeah correct, you can't. It's literal soul-sucking demonic slop
The most overrated piece of shit movie ever. There's nothing remarkable about it. Pure unadulterated midwit fodder.

Youtubers need to be shot and killed
>if you’re going to be that shitty at playing the oboe you’re better off fricking it on stage!
>NOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO PSYCHOTICALLY OBSESS OVER THIS STUPID BAND AND IF YOU DON'T I'M GOING TO THROW SHIT AT YOU
was it autism?
I think Whiplash is a great movie but I see the flaws. Chazelle is a pampered upper class babby so him doing poor beleaguered routine rings false.
Put that citizen behind a grill and see how tough he acts then...
I don't understand why Andrew would stay when Fletcher treated him like that?
Not quite my prag.
