Whiplash Review

Whiplash is a 2014 movie starring Miles Teller as Andrew Neiman an aspiring drummer looking to make his name in the jazz industry like many great jazz players before him. He manages to get in to the Shaffer conservatory of music, one of the top music schools in the country, where late one night while practicing he runs into Fletcher, a tough music teacher who will stop at nothing to realize the potential of his students.This was director Damien Chazelle's first feature film inspired by a topic he loves, jazz. I really loved this movie and it made me a big fan of the director as his attention to detail is amazing especially in the music department. there is an extreme focus an attention to detail to the music in this film to the point where Miles Teller actually played the drums himself instead of a double through out most of the film. this is especially impressive near the end of the movie in which he has to play an extremely difficult and long drum solo. I really enjoyed all the performances especially J.K. Simmons which is one of my favorite actors.

All an all this movie introduced me to one of my favorite directors and ive enjoyed all of his movies so far so im inclined to give this one another 10/10
