Whiplash
J.K Simmons and Miles Teller are both fucking assholes in this movie. Don’t try to tell me Miles Tellers character WASN’T an shit stain because he absolutely was. But that’s what makes this movie great. Simmons is on a power trip with his teaching methods and Teller thinks he’s the next best thing. They clash HARD but there’s a shit ton of respect given by the end. The performances are just out of this world, the direction is absolutely incredible and it never really lets you catch a breath of fresh air. That last part sounds bad BUT when done correctly, which it is here, it is anxiety inducing in the best way. Also, if anyone is a music major on here, is this what the fuck goes on?? There’s no way. Like I think I would have been kicked out day ONE if someone got in my face like he does to these students. Anyways, fantastic film, my second 5 star movie in a row. Kinography.
