Well done Finale!

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2015)

I like the movie. First of all, I would say that it is a movie about two excessive people instead of jazz which is not bad.
At one side there is Andrew Neyman, a 19 year old jazz drummer who is willing to be the greatest -or maybe one of the greatest- and working all day in the small room with his drum till his hands bleeding. On the other side, there is Fletcher who is band leader of school and so of Neyman. His teaching method is unique and quite harsh. He has no doubt about yelling, insulting or even slapping in the face while leading his band which makes me think about whether is a good teaching method or not. I asked myself ''In the end, does this attitude of Fletcher end with success story of both character or not?''
Through practices, Neyman strugglin with other drummers to be core player and in this sense, he is back and forth till the end of the movie. He's working and working till his hands bleeding. In order to reach the position in the band, he can break up his girlfriend. In time, he may become kind of annoying person due to of these attitudes to his girlfriend and at dinner table with his family. The best part of the movie is the final scene which makes us understood that battle never ended and it is starting right now actually. And in the end we can see Fletcher's appreciation to his undefeated student. Well done finish!
Before I watched the movie, I heard about its nominations and I was looking forward to watching it. It fulfills my expectations. It is absolutely must watch movie and I may argue that JK Simmons will take the Oscar for his supporting role (I did not watch other nominees except Ethan Hawke)
To conclude, I want to add that in some sense Fletcher's method is quite working regardless of Tanner's career decision.
