Whiplash
LOVE a perfectionist film!!
i dont do music but i could completely emphasize with this film. i knew teachers like this, and ive kind of been subject of this method of bringing out the best of students when i took advanced art. the best thing is i wasnt horrified the entire time like with black swan for example. i laughed at points, i was stressed at points, horrified too at points, and so damn satisfied at points. the only thing i missed is that i wouldve loved to see more scenes of andrew being literally violent to himself like for example the scene where he keeps retaping his hand. i wouldve loved to see more of those dark stuff.
and the ending??? omg… i literally felt cathartic. i could listen to those drums as an asmr.🥹
