Please do not pay attention to the morons who gave this film a negative review

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2019)

I took band and orchestra in school from grade 4 until my senior year in High school. I played drums. It was the highlight of my school years. I too had a band instructor with characteristics like the one in this film. His name was James Mitchell. Although he was nowhere near as intense as the star of Whiplash, he was still over the top. He would throw drum sticks at the percussion section. Knock over music stands. Bite pencils in half. He demanded greatness. He never hit any students but he made a few of them cry. I loved this man.
If you don't think this movie deserves at least an 8/10 I think you just don't appreciate music. I gave it a 10/10. The musicians are awesome. The acting is awesome. The story is brilliant.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did, all three times.
