Best movie of this year hands down!
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Whiplash is one of the most intense movie I've seen of all time, the film is very well acted and written and directed, the two main actors are great and the music is really good, one of the main themes of the film is that negative reinforcement is a good thing and the film leaves many things to interpretation to whatever that a good thing or not, the music post production syncs with the music played in the movie a lot, well there are times where the music doesn't sync with the music in the movie, the third act is very intense and one of the best third acts i ever seen, J. K. Simmons character motivation is left interpretation it's not clear whatever he cares miles tellers character or not, overall the movie is a very intense and it's funny and the music is really good.
Just do yourself a favour - watch this movie! Its both fascinating, surprising and chocking - made with a lot of charm and wit! A masterpiece - Straight up!
This movie is nothing but a breath-taking/magnificent master piece. I actually decided to belong to the jazz circle in my uni because of this movie. The most amazing thing to me is that the drummer (the hero) plays drums by himself; no CG. Even that there is the scene that the drummer bleeds from his hands and this is his real blood! What I want to say is that how devoting this actor is. I have never been bleeding from my hand practicing music. But this actor did and his drumming skills are literally breath-taking!
It's really great. Brilliant editing and acting and the direction is excellent. It's really good. I recently rewatched it since I first saw it when it came out. I recommend this for anyone who has good taste in films.
