Whiplash

Best ending ever, zero words needed to understand every feeling and thought they had during the whole concert. The best shot in the movie is when Andrew's father is watching his son playing and realizing that he's been lost forever. Damien Chazelle's question: is artistic quality more important than mental health? And, without giving the answer, said everything that you need to hear to decide for yourself. I know that Chazelle meant for it to be abuse of ambition, but it really isn't clear where the line is. I think it's not a question that needs answers, because there always will be someone tortured enough to be pushed into greatness. And the world is better for it. But it doesn't need to, and can't be, made artificially. If there was 10 Charlie Parkers, then Charlie Parker would be just another Charlie Parker.
