Here is My Movie Review of Whiplash

 


Here is My Movie Review of Whiplash



So basically what happens if that you have this teenager named Andrew who wants to become a professional And he decides to take a  band class and he meets his teacher  Terrence Fletcher And he thinks he's going to help him become a drummer But in reality he doesn't really care about the students because all he wants is to win the contest and get a trophy and it's up to Andrew to impressed Terrence Fletcher that he is a great drummer and that is basically what the story is for this movie. 


The acting in this Fantastic because even though the film only folks is around two characters both actors give awesome and powerful performances and this movies still up there with Dawn of The Planet of the Apes as one of the best acted films of 2014.



Miles Teller plays Andrew Neiman in the film. I have to think he still does a spectacular job as the character. Now Andrew Neiman Other character is really interesting because he wants to be a successful drummer and he'll do anything in his power to do that even to the point of pushing himself both physically and mentally to the limit in order to accomplish that goal. Probably the best moment with Andrew Neiman Is where he is drumming and his hands start to bleed because he is emotionally and physically pushing himself and not only is it really dark in disturbing but it just shows how far he will go to accomplish his dream of becoming a successful drummer. The chemistry between him and J.K. Simmons is perfect


However the absolute big standout of the entire film is J.K. Simmons as Terrence  Fletcher. Now Terrence  Fletcher as a character is really incredible because he would do anything to win this contest and to say that he is very strict that Is a understatement because he will physically and emotionally break his students until they can play perfect music. Also mention his villain motivation is very realistic and really understandable because he just wants his students to play perfectly but that doesn't mean he isn't afraid to emotionally and physically abuse them to get anything he wants. Probably the best moment was Terrence Fletcher It is where he is yelling at one of his students for being out of he says I´m not ghana you let you cost us a competition because your mind is on a fucking happy Meal instead of on pitch.¨ Not only is it really just scary but it is also sort of funny because of JK Simmons delivery of the line. It is probably The most entertaining moment of the entire film. I still think Terrence Fletcher is up there with Dreyfus from Dawn of The Planet of the Apes as one of the best villains of 2014. The chemistry between him and Miles Teller is really remarkable.


The directing by Damien Chazelle Is astounding because why I love about his directing Is that he does a tremendous job of giving Andrew Neiman and really powerful and strong character arc because he wants to become a perfect drummer but in order to accomplish that he had the physically and And emotionally pushes himself to accomplish that. I also like how he develops Terrence Fletcher Are they going because he could have made him really bland and forgetable but luckily he does not do that he makes this character his own he is very strict but very understanding because of his motivation how he just wants us to play perfect music and he is not afraid to physically or emotionally abuse them to get away once. I think he did a terrific job of developing him as a villain. I think it is really excellent how he did that.


So in conclusion i still really like this film because of the storyline about Andrew Nieman wanted to be a successful drummer and how far he is willing to accomplish that goal. But Terrence Fletcher is the highlight of the film because of how intense and powerful he is at a villain just to see how far he'll go to make a students perfect musicians even if that means raising his voice or making death threats he'll go that far to accomplish that goal especially when it comes to physically and emotionally abusing engine to get way once. I still think Terrence Fletcher is up there with Thanos from the MCU I want the best villains of the 2010s. Also that final scene of Angela Neiman playing Whiplash in the competition is probably one of the most powerful endings of 2014. I highly recommend you watch this film It's better with you like films with really powerful and awesome villains like Dawn of Planet of the Apes When Gary Oldman. This is still in my top five best films of 2014. I give this movie a 10/10.

  1. Glad you liked the movie and my review Lou. This is probably J.K. Simmons best performance he had ever done as the character of Terrence Fletcher. I will post a lot more blogs in the future and this year. Would you do a podcast episode of Whiplash It'll be really cool to do that.
