Simple premise, Brilliant execution

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2015)

This movie is hands down by far the best movie in recent years which really did J.K Simmons justice of his badass voice and talent. So this movie is basically about a kid Miles Teller who is a drummer who wanted to get into Simmons's music class since he knew for a FACT that if he gets in that class his life can reach new heights. But what he didn't knew is that J.k Simmons is actually the antagonist of the movie in which he is a strong sturdy character that doesn't take sh*t he just straight up mean business. Harsh business since J.K Simmons in the movie is hands down the most hardcore douche in cinema history. Simmons started out as a guy who seem tough but "seems" to have a soft heart but that was only through Miles's eyes. Once Teller has experience Simmons' hardcore factor he'd realize that Simmons is just hell. Simmons is giving this kid everything he had ordered from Satan's Burger, a big burger with extra rage cheese and bloody beef. I really like that fact that this movie addresses a character like Simmons because we ALL had experienced this kind of feeling in life, each and every single one of us had a boss or teacher like that who are willing to shut our dreams and spirits down like blowing out a candle because what is a hobby if we don't enjoy it? A hard worker is a person who turns his hobby into a job but what if you can't do that? what if there's a douche constantly telling you that you're not good enough for the job and you're not good enough for your hobby. This movie's tension is built so perfectly that I have not bit my nails as hard ever since. I honestly bit off my entire whole hand why I watch the tension built in on stage. The moment when the tension was at its highest is definitely the moment when Teller is hit by a truck symbolizing the fact that Teller is slowly turning out to be a guy that doesn't feel pain or feel anything anymore, eventually he'd be drumming without emotions which was really tense. In conclusion the movie is absolutely amazing with simple but great plot that relates to the audiences and great character development.
