Whiplash Whiplash has been one of the only few unforgettable movies I have seen since recently. It is about a drummer trying to become the best his area like his aspiring jazz drummers. One of the high points make the movie worth watching is J. K. Simmons’ performances which you can even infer how demanding being a talented actor must be. It absolutely takes J. K. Simmons up to the next level in his career with his extraordinary performance. Along the movie he can easily be transitioning between exact opposite state of minds from an encouraging music teacher to a conductor who has no limits to make students reach out the high yet difficult success so that he could be unexpectedly harsh even throwing drum sticks to his students when they can’t keep the right timing he wants. The theme deals with the issue of when passion drastically turns to obsession and what the criteria would be in the training. It is definitely well-fictionalized and keeps you intrigued by.
