Review of Whiplash (2014) by A T — 26 Aug 2015
Talk about a movie I wish I saw earlier. I literally had no interest in the film (since I'm not that big a fan of Miles "John Cusack" Teller) but the movie while not really scary when you process it, really gets you on the edge of your seat within it's intensity.
Maybe it was a bad idea to watch this and The Spectacular Now back to back (missing parents, car crashes, Miles Teller moping, Miles Teller is bad at relationships, etc) but clearly Whiplash is the stronger film.
It celebrates while also berating the love of the music industry and it gives me ever so a slight reminder of my days in music class or even teachers in high school who used such extreme negative reinforcement.
It's exaggerated, but Simmons does the scariest J Jonah Jameson you've seen here and it's so mesmerizing you get lost if he really is even so bad at all.
