Whiplash

98 This movie is about manipulation and toxic relationships. but god damn rewatching this was a whole new experience like the ending you think he finally stood up to fletcher and won but now fletcher now has his perfect student and the cycle continues and he gets overworked and goes on drugs and dies in his 30s and he dies a legend. it’s sad but it’s gonna keep happening and i don’t know what im getting at but jesus this movie is awesome with the acting and small budget and short filming period and the characters how neiman will stop at nothing to be great and it’s poetic with the abuse and how he won’t stop until he’s the best no matter what. especially how the ending concert was a setup to make him fail and tarnish his name but he proves him wrong. “i know it was you.”
