Movie Review (English)

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.
