Review - Whiplash

I will start with JK Simmons, the anti-hero of this great inspiring movie. Terence Fletcher a character which we love for his dedication but as well as hate for his brutal ways. His performance is flawless and he deserved the Academy Award.  I have read that the film was completed in just 19 days. The story is very simple but highly impacting. A sense of tension remains in your mind throughout the film. It is a film which will be in your mind for days.  Teller also did excellent in the acting department.

The movie Whiplash is a journey in the search of your inner rage to reach your dreams. It tells you there is no shortcut for success, more and more practise, effort and hard work is the only key. The atmosphere created in this film is unique. It is a guarantee you haven't gone through a film similar to this. Each and everyone one of us will relate this movie as we all have a goal, small or big but we all have it. The film is slow but the intensity and tension are too much to handle. Talking about the technical aspects it is just beautiful, the film itself is a big surprise. The editing, dialogues, close shots everything deserves acknowledgement.  Whiplash shows a serious way of motivation, we can feel that in every beat of the drum.
