Review of Whiplash (2014) by Thiirane — 01 Jan 2015

I read some of the negative reviews below. I can understand their points. While there were some unbelievable parts, the screenplay was designed to take the viewer into the life of a young talented musician who wants to be trained to be better at a prestigious music school.

Part of growing up and becoming a professional is self-recognition of your own skills and drive to be the best. In life, whether you are as a student, intern or staff employee everyone has their insecurities, this movie attempts to play upon the audience's insecurities through the eyes of the students and instructor in the film.

To a large extent, I thought the writers and actors accomplished their goal.
