Wonderful example of low budget filmmaking. Set it in an usual word - college music - and create a brilliant character for a star, and a leading man role for a young actor. Fletcher is an awesome creation - bullying, terrifying, homophobic, passionate, cruel. The type that has been consistently romanticised by Hollywood. Here it's clear he's a bully, although a talented one... and the ending, does seem to support Fletcher. "It was Fletcher who made him great!" It doesn't deal with two key aspects of bullying - is that the only way to do it, and the bully does it because he (or she) likes it.
This film must have triggered people who worked for Scott Rudin.
