Whiplash
A wonderful film
depicting the myriad hues of grey of the creative world.
Andrew, a young jazz drummer played with aplomb by Miles
Teller, passionate about the skill, wants to become the next Buddy Rich, joins
a studio band led by conductor Fletcher, (JK Simmons, at his best). However,
the instructor has a totally different take on how to push his students to
further their skills. Fletcher is excruciatingly cruel in his words and actions
and needs the students to be perfect or else he makes them bleed (literally!!)
It can be called a revenge drama for the revenge exacted both by the struggling
drummer and the teacher.
Beautiful ending with some superb solo drumming.
