Whiplash

I had a a physics teacher in high school, really like Fletcher. He made students cry, he never said a good word about you, even if you did good on his tests (which were the hardest tests I've ever taken in school) and he often found excuses to diminish you. In our last school year he became a little softer to us, at least to the students that still took his class, and explained to us that all he wanted was to make us as prepared as possible for the exams that would let us in the University. When the time of those exams came, I wrote a perfect 20/20 in Physics. Was his method the best for us? I don't know, I can't know because I didn't learn through any other method. I know that it worked for me, maybe it did not work that well on others. All this however made this movie hit a close to home. Teachers aside, this was an absolute masterpiece of a film. Fantastic directing, brilliant performances and the pacing was excellent. Every scene counted and I did not feel this hour and a half passing slowly for one bit. What a movie, and thank you for everything Mr. Geo (I'm not saying his name in case he ever sees this, I'm still kinda scared of him)
