While doing an imdb search on JK Simmons came across a movie starring JK Simmons and Miles Teller that I hadn't heard of about an aspiring drummer. Since I play the drums too I thought I'd check it out and I wasn't disappointed. JK Simmons is very intense and I later learned that Miles Teller actually plays the drums so the scenes with him playing don't look fake. A must watch for drummers and jazz fans.

I got the movie for a good deal which makes seeing the bad condition of the case kinda make sense. The case was scratched and ripped in multiple places kinda like someone was trying to send of the polish of the case.

The movie itself is excellent. However even though the picture of the product says Blu-Ray + Digital, mine came only Blu-ray, no digital. Obviously there are two versions, one with digital and one without. So if you don't mind getting Blu-Ray only then it's a great movie to have.

The amount of self-inflicted sacrifice is intended to shape and deliver who we want to be. In certain areas there has to be some level of talent involved, in others it simply takes determination. In Whiplash we assume there is an inherent skill to our protagonists ability that has been present since he picked up sticks at a young age, but it is the amount of hard work and sacrifice that will prove whether he will turn out to be complacent or one of the greats. Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller) has plenty of ambition, but it is his drive that will turn the story of his life into something people might discuss around a dinner table decades after he dies. As a child who was not given everything on a silver spoon and certainly not conditioned to believe anything I touched would turn to gold failure in certain areas became an expectation. Our present, cushioned society makes these truths indiscernible and so we garner generations where all that is expected is instant gratification with little endeavor or commitment required. Whiplash, while clearly drawn from personal experiences and small truths, is also and maybe even more of a commentary on if there is a line to be drawn in breaking down these barriers of reassurance. In what will likely be one of if not "the" defining performance of his career J.K. Simmons as conductor Terence Fletcher tells Andrew that there are no two words more harmful in the English language than, "good job." Fletcher has a philosophy that genius is not blessed upon an individual or built through congratulations, but rather because it is pushed to a breaking point where the only thing that matters is to never stop striving to be better. True greatness comes from real pain. Nothing will essentially ever be good enough for Fletcher and it is in this drive to prove him wrong that Andrew is unable to stop. With his second directorial effort Damien Chazelle has crafted a film so in tune with itself and its character arcs that it is nothing short of exhilarating to see unfold. While one should take the literal actions of the film with a grain of salt and look at the bigger, metaphoric implications it is making to get a clearer message of its ideas it nonetheless comes together to deliver one of the best and certainly one of my favorite films of the year.
