Whiplash
It might seem like an easy movie plot if one looks at its summary or watches the movie without paying attention to deeper analysis. But if one takes time to reflect on what he or she sees and tries to understand the meaning of the movie, one will understand the reasons why this movie is regarded as one of the best ones.
Excellent acting, excellent background music, tense atmosphere, the stress and struggle of a musician wanting to make it—all this was done exceptionally well in this movie. Especially the acting of J.K. Simmons. I can even say that it was perfect.
Certainly worth watching. It was indeed an amazing movie.
Thinking about the message and the lesson which the movie wanted to give to its viewers, one understands the reason why some people want to surpass their boundaries and do everything possible to succeed. There is definitely a reason why people try to become great despite all the cost.
