When asked about the film's ending J.K. Simmons claimed that he and writer-director Damien Chazelle wanted "to inspire discussion and debate and not decide - are we happy for Andrew Neimann or are we lamenting his loss of humanity. The debate I love, is how far is too far? How much is too much? Is it worth it? This kind of relentless abuse might be necessary and appropriate if you're training Navy Seals, but I don't know if it's appropriate in a music school. But it's there, and it can be productive; there's no denying that. From my own perspective, I'd rather have a pretty girlfriend than go work with this guy and have my hands bleed all the time. I would have made a different choice."
