Whiplash
Most people don't see what is happening in this movie. Obsession wins here, and we are supposed to question whether living a normal life is worth it, or trying to live for the history books. The shot at the end where the father watches in horror as his son becomes the legend he never became. He created a family, and lived in happiness. The main character will never have this. He gave up love and family to live a dream, and most likely would end as one of the music legends that end in an overdose in some bar toilet.
