Whiplash is a decent movie, definitely worth a watch. Two very good performances, a few great lines.

 

68/100

 

Imo, more like 82/100.

 

Intense from beginning to end.  

You see him playing drums in the first shot and in the last shot.  When you see him playing in the beginning, you think, "Wow.  This kid is great.  How can he go another level?"

 

In walks the teacher.

 

The final scene is the payoff.  Brilliant.

The kid gets hit by a semi = end of his life, but he walks it off. That's the stuff you leave a theater over, just brutal. The girlfriend, no depth, no point, it helped develop nothing. Not a lot of depth, one pace...which is entertaining, but nothing I'd want to see again. All 80+s are movies I want to see again.

 

The final scene, eh, they contrived this big event in which this guy is going to embarrass himself, and the group, to get back at a kid? Not a chance that guy goes in front of any audience and embarrasses himself for anything, much less to get back at a kid. The thing about an ego like his is he'd Never sacrifice his review for any audience, much less that one. It's fun, but doesn't ring true.
