A much needed lesson in life

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2016)

I really liked Whiplash because I considered it to be the lesson that nowadays school and society fails to teach us. This movie (which I am convinced that tells the story of the great majority of extraordinary artists) shows us that nothing can be don without hard work, and that just being gifted is not enough. Successful people will always be the ones that are able to go through limbo just to be able to be the best version of themselves day after day. For everyone of us limbo can mean anything - our family, our school, a teacher, a friend, an illness. For a long time I have been trying to find a reason to life and as this movie depicts, I got to a conclusion that life is worth living just to find out how much farther are you able to get, and what great expectations are you able to meet day after day. Will you give in and let all the bad things get to you or will you rise up tomorrow just to glow even more than before? A great story and a great lesson for anyone who appreciates the truly important things in life!
