J. K. Simmons aka. our ruthless subconscious

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2015)

Whiplash is probably one of the greatest film in 2015 and I think all of the 3 Oscars were a deserved reward. Although all of my musician friends who have seen Whiplash told me that if you had learnt music almost for 8 years, you knew this film has no point with music.
Nonetheless this is not a mistake it's only a fact about the background. Let's talk about the one of the biggest reason why Whiplash is amazing nevertheless J. K. Simmons. His character is more then a sadist teacher,he's trying to pursuit a goal:being somebody who won't be forgotten. This intent isn't unknown for the humanity, it's all around us. I share the opinion that to be someone who dies earlier but the name will forever in people's mind is better, then to die unknown and lost the name. It's weird but I think there are a lot of people who want to be someone, do something important, and live forever in the other's mind. Miles Teller is this endeavor, and he's our goal to be someone. But there is no possibility to make his dream come true as long as he got an invitation from Fletcher (J. K. Simmons) to play in his orchestra. This is a true possibility which can change his live. If sometime you can get a chance from life you should accept it and don't throw it away. Andrew (Miles Teller) accepts the possibility and he's an ambitious guy with concrete goals to have a bright future. Fletcher is the one who can make him being this person. But Andrew gave up. He threw away his dreams and he tried to be a prosy man like everyone else, but he got another chance. During a person's lifetime, it's rare to get one or maybe two great and life-changing chance so it's important to recognize it and use it if you once got it.
