Whiplash

Finally watched this movie. Great stuff. Jk Simmons puts on a great performance. He just gives off that mean band director vibe. He’s also a horrible person but still a good preformance. but my favorite performance is from miles teller. He put so much passion in to this role and you can really see that from the way he plays the drums to just how good he is at playing this arrogant jerk. The dinner table scene gives a great example of how much of a jerk this character is. Miles teller just looks like a prick. Their chemistry is also great. The camera work is great. My favorite scene is the last scene. The drum solo is really great and the cuts to the brass just looks so good. The gold color really pops in that final scene. Also the first rehearsal scene where it’s moving throughout the band room is also wonderful. This movie just feels so tense and the music plays a big part in that. The fast paced jazz and miles tellers performance really gives off that stressful and tense feeling. In conclusion, great movie.
