Oedipus, a typical tragic figure of fate in the history of ancient Greek literature, is the son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta of Thebais in Greek mythology, but unknowingly, he killed his father and married his mother. Homer of dramatic art, Sophocles, the master of the tragedy of fate, enriched the tragedy of fate in the ancient Greek drama "Oedipus the King".

The influence of ancient Greek culture can be deeply felt throughout Western culture, and deep-rooted murder/father/plot can be seen everywhere, Oedipus can be regarded as a masterpiece of tragedy, and similar cultural inheritances can be found in the entire mythological structure.

The first god Ouranos was castrated by his son Kronos, and the second god Kronos was overthrown by his younger son, and the Olympian god system with Zeus as the only supreme god was established. The two generations of gods established their own status, both through the killing of the father.

Ouranos means "root" in Greek, while Kronos means "time". As the root, once it enters the process of development, it enters the process of time, and in the course of time, everything will enter a process of succession, the replacement of the old with the new, which is both myth and philosophy.

This is the spirit of murder/fatherhood that originated from ancient Greek mythology, and its influence on the entire Western culture later was immeasurable.

Aristotle's clear saying, "I love my teacher, I love the truth more", which can be understood as a challenge to the teacher Plato, embodies a kind of spiritual level of "killing / father", and later, the American philosopher Duran called him the great spiritual "killer / father". So much so that the entire history of Western philosophy later basically presented a development process of spiritual murder.

Of course, they also have something that cannot be killed, that is, the absolute idea, the absolute spirit, that is, the supreme God of religious culture. Therefore, when Nietzsche declares that "God is dead", it also marks the extreme exertion of the murder/father/spirit, which is a personal tragedy for Nietzsche, and seems to be a milk sniper for God.

The so-called killing of the father/father can be understood as the overthrow of power, the overthrow of domination, the overthrow of spiritual pillars, the completion of the process of growth and inheritance, and finally the completion of incredible transcendence, it is not only a manifestation of killing, but also a manifestation of inheritance and transformation. Especially in patrilineal societies, the figure of the father often symbolizes an unattainable goal, and only by surpassing the father can we promote the progress of the times and society.

To this day, the spirit of murder can still be found in countless Western cultures, on the one hand, they have set up a spiritual symbol that cannot be surpassed or overthrown, and on the other hand, they are eager to overthrow this symbol and create a new era of their own.

It is precisely this dialectical contradiction that has given rise to countless tragic art and philosophical speculations.

In Lan Li's view, the "Burst Drummer" has such a tragic color.

It is true that the "Burst Drummer" of the previous life is a wonderful work, but if you want to be better and more outstanding? So how should we dig into the ideological theme? Perhaps, the murder/father/complex is a breakthrough.

"The relationship between Andrew and Fletcher can be seen as an evolution of inheritance and transcendence. In the relationship between suppression and suppression, teaching and looking up, Andrew started as an apprentice, and he only followed in Fletcher's footsteps and grew rapidly under Fletcher's guidance.

But as time progressed, the ambition to transcend authority and overthrow the powerful began to awaken in Andrew's body. On the one hand, it is because he aspires to achieve the highest level of art, and he always hopes that he can create an era and a genre, which is a kind of ambition, and on the other hand, because he wants to overthrow Fletcher's brutal repression, not just to transcend, but to crush the other party.

In essence, Andrew and Fletcher are the same kind of people, who refuse to compromise in order to achieve their ends, build power and refuse to compromise, all the halos always surround themselves, and when they complete their transformation, then all the stepping stones along the way can be pushed away and abandoned. If necessary, they can sacrifice everything, such as dating someone, family affection, such as best friends.

Of course, it also includes his own master and father.

Or rather, this is a mountain that must be overthrown before they can complete the transformation of their essence.

Therefore, Andrew began to resist, and in the end, he broke out and transcended, completed the breakthrough of anti-control, reversed the situation of control and control, suppression and suppression between two people, and at the same time the development curve of the two people also changed. ”

After stepping into Andrew's world step by step, it is like a treasure, constantly digging out more and more stories and connotations, and the content and details of the performance gradually become fuller, which is a very interesting process, which makes people addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.

Damien could also deeply feel Lan Li's enthusiasm, his eyes brightened little by little, and he further added, "What's even more amazing is that Fletcher and Andrew both have the same idea, Fletcher not only did not resist, but also welcomed, he consciously guided Andrew step by step to grow stronger, and stimulated Andrew to start resisting." When Andrew completed the transcendence and completed the murder of his father, Fletcher also achieved his own perfection and passed on his spirit and will. ”

"It's like ......" Damien tried to find a figurative metaphor, but he couldn't find it.

Lan Li added, "It's like sacrificing one's life." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what it means! Damien nodded repeatedly, and his whole body became excited, and all the sparks in his mind began to crackle.

Incredible!

Absolutely incredible!

If we follow Lan Li's vision, the existing story will go one step further and radiate unprecedented vitality.

According to the original script, this is a story between a teacher and a student, and the whole focus is still on the breakthrough and transformation of students, and truly pursue the highest level of art;

In order to pursue the perfection of art, Fletcher sacrificed himself and made himself Andrew's sacrifice, slowly guiding Andrew to complete the transformation, and in order to pursue the highest state of art, Andrew's hands were covered with blood, and he personally strangled Fletcher's power, and after killing his father, he was truly reborn and achieved the perfection of art.

In "Black Swan", the blurring of fantasy and reality is discussed, and only when the actor really completely blurs the nodes and completely integrates with the character, just like the white swan and the black swan, regardless of each other, can he truly feel the absolute perfection.

In "Burst Drummer", it is about the inheritance under the murder/father/plot, and only when the children themselves overthrow the authority of their fathers, inherit the mantle and carry it forward, can they complete the transformation and create a new era.

After the character setting and the core of the story are deepened, the whole story of "Burst Drummer" suddenly glows with a completely different vigorous vitality, and Damien can even conceive some changes in the camera -

In the first half, Andrew always looks up at Fletcher, and Fletcher always looks down at Andrew, in the middle of the game, the camera can show a relatively parallel perspective, and in the second part, Andrew begins to look down, and Fletcher gradually becomes weaker. This is the simplest kind of change, but it can truly show the angle of repression and anti-repression.

Furthermore, the switch between light and perspective can also deduce more metaphors.

Everyone says that a good actor can make a movie, even though the film is the art of the director. Now, Damien finally understands what this sentence means, not just acting, but also giving life to the characters and stories through performance, which in turn stimulates the imagination and creativity of the director.

Of course, the premise is that the director has enough space and leeway to allow such vitality.

Damien suddenly had an idea: is this why Lan Li is so selective when he chooses his works?

But Damien still didn't ask after all, sitting opposite Lan Li, he was still faintly nervous, everything was like a dream, even if he was ready to turn on now, it was still the case, "Do we need to talk to JK? He is also an important part of the whole relationship between confrontation and resistance." ”

"It's up to you. Lan Li threw the question back.

Damien was stunned and waved his hand, "Are you implying that I'm Andrew? I didn't say that, although this is a script based on my high school experience, I'm not as crazy and paranoid as Andrew." ”

"Madness and paranoia are bad things for ordinary people, but good things for artists. In fact, most artists and philosophers are crazy in the eyes of the world, because their way of thinking is different, which is what makes their way of artistic creation.

Then, Lan Li continued, "No, I didn't hint at anything. I'm just saying that if in your definition, Fletcher is clearly aware of his role and identity, then his character will have to change, and you need to tell JK in advance. ”

"But?" Damien knew there was more.

"But if Fletcher didn't realize it, he just completely suppressed it with his own strength, only to realize it in the last performance, but he didn't continue to suppress, but let go of his mind and was ready to sacrifice and become the last force to push Andrew across the finish line, then you wait for the last scene to tell JK. ”

Lan Li then expressed his opinion.

Melissa and Blake, who were standing next to them, were completely dumbfounded and at a loss.
