Iron Man - Reforging Broken Autonomy
Переглядів 3936 років тому
Tony Stark: genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. That’s got a much better ring to it than arms dealer, narcissist, womanizer, failure. While Tony believed in America's role as the global peacekeeper and his personal role as America’s armory, Tony’s faith in his legacy, as well as his own sense of autonomy, is annihilated by a missile bearing his own name. Iron Man tells the story of a ...

    Film Temple, would you mind creating a playlist? Doing so allows people to aggregate/curate link hubs to other content via "Multiple Playlists" (lists of playlists) here on UA-cam. Due to there being so much content it is best for the creators to maintain them. ... Oh and also, your stuff is fantastic.

    So many people look at this film, Neiman's journey, and Fletcher's brutality in a negative way. These people really don't understand the film at all, I think. So many people sort of glide through life, buoyed along on a raft of mediocrity, of "Good enough." They get to a point where they've achieved mere competency in the areas of their life and talent and stop there, satisfied with their effort. To those people, this film is traumatizing. They walk away from it, horrified, as Neiman holds up a mirror to themselves and shows them that perfection was obtainable, but they chickened out. They climbed half-way up the mountain, then turned around and descended back down, while Miles Teller's character climbed on his hands and knees up to the summit. I find this film aspirational. It fills me with determination to find that one thing that I can really excel at, then push myself as hard as I possibly can to obtain it. To sweat and bleed and lose sleep over. To be given impossible trials and blast through them. To be paired with an uncompromising taskmaster of a mentor, then one day see a look of approval and respect on his face because _I proved him right._ I *was* as good as he thought I could be. That I *could* cut it. Whiplash isn't a horror film to me. It's Rocky.

    What I find interesting is the gamble that Fletcher took in this last performance: we know how much of an evil perfectionist he is...going back to the idea of him being furious of "purposeful sabotage" in his band, to cause that kind of sabotage himself is a BIG gamble to his reputation. He had to have had an inkling that Andrew would come back and blow the doors off everyone.

  • @clayformations1638

    I'm assuming Fletcher smiles and said "good job" although it doesn't show it... a better ending would have been for Neiman to mouth the words "I don't care what you think " twirl his sticks as he walks off stage. 😁

    Good analysis but one thing you got wrong is Connor. He did not lose his spot to happenstance. He lost his spot for being irresponsible. Citing that he has a memory issue only highlights his irresponsibility. Fletcher took that to say Connor was not prepared which to a guy like Fletcher means Connor didn't want it enough.

      Fletcher might have taken it this way, but I believe it was less that Tanner didn't care and more a part of his ego structure, the driving force of this movie. Tanner needed to feel big when the drum kit seemingly sounded like shit to Fletcher's ears during the performance, so he demeaned Neiman to be his assistant by giving him the folder. He replaces the pain in his mind with the idea of identity or passes on the pain or something.
