A film with impact

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2017)

A thrilling drama about perseverance, grit and insanity more than about music starring Miles Teller as Andrew Neiman, a student of New-York's best music academy, and J.K.Simmons as his wayward tyrant-teacher Fletcher. These two people tailor-made for each other will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and it's really amusing to watch the fight, the competition between them. This is also a philosophical film, which does make you think a lot about eternal values of our life. Love or dream? Life or fame? The main character Andrew Neiman made his choice. Again, it's a psychological movie rather than a musical. You just can't sit still because of excitement and strain bursting out. Although I couldn't see the character's great love for music, I recommend "Whiplash" for the inspiration and 1.5 hours of enjoyment it gave me.
