As I said in an earlier post, I think the movie was about two people driven to the point of destruction to achieve a goal - Andrew, to be the next genius drummer, even if it destroyed his body and life outside of drumming, and Fletcher, to mold the next genius jazz musician(s), even if he has to destroy scores of young people who don't have genius in them.

And in the end, I think the only way to take the last scene is as a vindication for both of them - Andrew gives a genius performance, but I don't think you can deny that he only got because Fletcher drove him to it.
