There is a 2014 movie named Whiplash that confronts the viewers with the same questions broached by Bill. An overbearing (to the point of imposing both physical and mental harm) teacher/mentor pushes a musical prodigy to excel. It is as disturbing as what is described about Michael’s life. I must agree that the world would be a better place if children were not sacrificed upon the altars of greed and lust-for-fame.
