The Procrastinator's Movie Review: Whiplash
Whiplash Release Date : October 15, 2014 Who was in that one again? Miles Teller, J.K. Simmons, Paul Reiser I can't remember the plot. A really good jazz drummer attends a conservatory and gets pulled into the top shelf jazz group with a conductor that will do anything to weed out the weak and bring out the best in the strong. The review: I have to admit, I was really riding the emotional train on this movie. You hate Terrence Fletcher from the very first minute of the movie, and your hatred grows even more, and then you kind of understand him, but then you hate him, and then you find out he was lying when you had that moment of "understanding him," and then you're pleased because he got what he deserved, and then you think you understand him better than the first time, and then you HATE HIM WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, and then you actually do understand him. And then the movie's done. That's pretty much the mindset of Andrew Niemann, the hotshot drummer
