Whiplash

Revisited this film for the first time since summer 2023 and looking back at it, it hits harder after what I've been through over the years with basketball in a way, not the same but there is resemblance, while I was watching it with my dad and little brother, my dad couldn't help but mention that it reminded him of me multiple times throughout which made me gag a little bit because I'm aware of that but when he mentioned it, I was like damn and maybe that's one of the reasons on why I haven't revisited it until today although I really do remember parts of this film like once every two months. The actual review: The film's really groundbreaking from many different aspects and the depth of each point will have you thinking in a gray area, it captures many feelings of determination, passion, isolation, blind faith etc. you're watching a person try to persevere through many different and difficult obstacles to just prove to himself that his dream can be something real but in a way that's so so realistic and I love everything about it, that ending too, I would need to make a fully separate review to just talk about the weight and meaning it has
