Review of Whiplash (2014) by Ariel84 — 16 Jan 2015
Don't dig too deep. just let yourself be carried away by the performances, the music, and the editing. once the film was over, I laughed at the idea of someone crawling out from a car wreck to get to a stage to play, even if the person was running on pure adrenaline.
unless the person was anton chigur. and a teacher can be extremely tough without humiliating and physically punishing students. the first scenes where the band looked like very scared children, not daring to breathe seemed ludicrous.
no reputable school would allow a fletcher. the lawsuits! but, it's a movie, it's not real, it's a great metaphor, and it is so true that that the worst two words you can say to a competitor is "good job".
