WHIPLASH (2015)
Passion for something leads you to everything, but not unless you make that passion the only achievable goal in your life. However harder it might seem to be the best, the aftereffect is going to be the best too. Whiplash is an exhilarating movie about a Andrew Neiman who aspires to become a Jazz Drummer. To shape his aspiration perfectly comes in the mentor Terence Fletcher. He is tough abusive and the best. Now what is it that makes this film an exhilarating is to be said by me here.
Make few ground rules very clear before watching this movie.

Make few ground rules very clear before watching this movie.
- This is not one of those movies which will woo you by its outstanding musical concert performance at the end.
- Not one of those which shows the passion and your social life balancing.
- Its a movie to be experienced and this movie is worth experiencing.
The mentor Terence Fletcher walks in the first time when Andrew is practicing on drums, seeing him Andrew stops playing, to wish him. Fletcher asks him why did he stop, to which Andrew begins to play again till he is again interrupted by Fletcher asking him, that his question was WHY DID YOU STOP? , with this part we are introduced to THE FLETCHER, he has been terrifying teacher and he always wanted the best. Andrew however manages to get inside his academy and if this makes you think it was a great beginning then you're mistaken. The real trouble starts now. The strange tension inside the room when Fletcher walks in can be felt by you and your dried up throat. For the newbies he is soft for say like 10 mins and on the 11th minute he is the worst nightmare you've ever seen. You not only have to be the best but also have to be confident that you are the best. If you are shaken than you are welcomed with a flying chair thrown at your face and ushered outside the room like forever. You play good than you are grim ugly piece of sh*t, and if you play better than good you find yourself confident for the next hour. Now that was the introduction to Fletcher.By this time you can be sure about one thing that the survivals in his academy are groomed to become the best.
Now with Andrew it was a life with 2 options, 1. to become the best drummer like Buddy Rich, 2.Lead an ordinary life which everyone out there is already been doing. He chose the first one and also he chose to be one of those Fletcher's academy survivors. The practice sessions at his class makes you realize that how Fletcher pushes the student beyond the expected to turn them into the best. The core drummer of Fletcher's team is in itself a title, as this title comes not with just obeying his words but also your brainstorming practice, it bleeds, it hurts, it kills you down, but if you make it to the end you are sure to be a part of the core member of Fletcher's team, and if you are a part of the core team then you are just one step close to becoming the best.
Now coming down to the last scene of the movie. If this movie has worked its roots such hard than it has to give out the best, and you'll be pleased to see the best performance ever, and you will not resist yourself from clapping to the Fletcher's creation.
This movie is more than just watching. Go experience everything a passionate person has to deal with to become a legend.
"THERE ARE NO TWO WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE MORE HARMFUL THAN "GOOD JOB".
My Score: 9.5/10
