The way I interpret it, Andrew finally gaining Flecher's approval is the very thing that frees him from his shackles of expectation completely. He defied expectation, and returned to the drumset when nobody expected him to and proceeded to go against Fletcher himself. I think this signifies that Andrew has turned a new leaf; not even his father can recognise the man he turns into. I also believe that the way he continues playing even when the lights go out show that he's not waiting for anyone's cue anymore, straying further from his old, passive self. Drumming is the one thing that has given Andrew control over what surrounds him.
Absolutely agree, it's a cry for help masquerading as a happy ending - and it's the most conflicted I've ever felt by a movie's conclusion. Also on a nerdier note, I enjoyed the narrative framework of the video itself with the repeated phrase "Andrew Nieman must...". Nicely done!
Glad you enjoyed the structure! It's weird that some people perceive me interpreting the ending that way as hating on hard work, when this is exactly what the director says the ending is about.
Some of the greatest excellers in their fields were never formally recognized as truly worthy- one I can think of due to my interests is Gabe Newell, founder of Valve Software- he dropped out of Harvard university and left his job at Microsoft, but with his combined passion, knowledge and experience he transformed the gaming industry forever.
I don't think a half ass assessment bleeding with modernity bias is anyone's tempo. perhaps he should have simply considered ; "Doing significant things tend to be hard".@@benjaminzarkhin1293
