Whiplash

Holy shit this movie was sooooo intense. The best and worst thing to watch starting a new job lol.  Wow I really wish I had a passion like Andrew. I mean, I get the whole point is to show u how deranged and crazy/unhealthy obsession it was, but on the other hand, it made me wonder and reminisce how many hobbies/activities I gave up on due to circumstances rather than a loss of passion. How fulfilling it must feel to work and work at something and be rewarded that this is the right track for u. That this whole thing, all the blood, sweat and tears were worth it.  That this is what it takes to be the best of the best.  But is there a line? You know, maybe you go too far and you discourage the next Charlie Parker from ever becoming Charlie Parker?> No, man, no. Because the next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged.Maybe there’s something wrong with me since clearly the messaging of this movie isn’t suppose to romanticize it (or maybe it is) but the sheer talent and skill Andrew has cannot be wasted.  Lowkey think I need a fletcher in my life to just yell at me to do the things I should be doing. I mean I’d cry and suffer, but maybe I’ll get so offended that out of spite I’d do it to prove him wrong. That’s literally how I use to be so mayb it’ll come out again haha.
