For the kind of outside pressure needed to instill excellence in a person.
LOL... I don't think you've quite grasped the meaning of the word "metaphor". The movie deals literally with "the kind of outside pressure needed to instill excellence in a person" (if that's how you want to put it) - in this case in a particular setting, that of a musical conservatory. There's no need for metaphors. Misrepresenting the world being referenced and circumstances of the story is not a metaphor - it's just bad writing.
