This. Is. Amazing.

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2018)

This movie reminds me of my band teacher, he doesn't try to kill us but he is very intense and does not mess around when it comes to making you reach full potential. This movie is filled with intense scenes between Fletcher and Neiman, but also calmer scenes of musical reflection. This movie makes a very good point about modern day music, saying that jazz (a genre that I can respect) is being flushed out in favor of pop songs. Being a musician myself, I know the the struggle of trying to show potential to someone with high standards, so I relate to Neiman's struggles as well. Whiplash, awesome movie for people who can appreciate music and one hell of an emotional roller coaster.
