Fifty shades of gray with drums

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2016)

Or...The Stanford prison experiment - with drums.
There is something disturbing about the overall message of this movie. The idea that greatness is justification for abuse and that abuse can somehow inspire students to greatness is just one of messed up ideas that is entertained in this movie.
Masochist student teacher relationships apparently bring out the best in students and oh yes, you are not a serious drummer unless your drums end up splattered in blood and sweat.
Apart from exploring a messed up form of battered person syndrome and battering our credulity with predictable shock tactics, this movie really does not say anything about greatness, music or the kind of inspiration which brings the best in human beings.
As a musical person who has had the privilege of being conducted and taught by great teachers who achieved and inspired great things. There is nothing in this movie about what it takes to create and make great music. Intense dude, seriously intense!!!
