I watched Whiplash today......... omg.... it was so peak ngl...... Ok basically it's about this drummer (Andrew) who is in the best music school of the country. His mentor, Fletcher, is extremely unhinged and abusive, and pushes Andrew to his absolute limits in an attempt to help him become not just good, but great to put it simply.
The cinematography, the acting, the music, the abruptness and tension. Omg. Seeing someone so full of passion, drive, and tenacity. Someone who rejects everything in pursuit of greatness. Absolute cinema. The ending was insane as well. This movie kept going in directions I didn't expect. I watched in on TV so I don't have any screenshots but I also liked the color toning in Whiplash a lot. Everything is very rich and green.
It also has themes of pressure in the creative industry and toxicity (Fletcher is legit insane), depending on how you look at it this movie is a tragedy overall.
Ts movie the best one I've seen in 2026 so far.. it wasn't dragging or rushing. ๐ฅ
