Whiplash review
My Rating: 8.9/10
IMDb Rating: 8.6/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 95% Metacritics Rating: 88/100 My Favorite Quotes 1. "That is not your boyfriends dick so don't come to early." - Terence Fletcher 2. "There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job". - Terence Fletcher 3. "Not my tempo." - Terence Fletcher Real If I had to use one word to describe this film it would be "real". Although I am the type of person who does better with positive motivation this movie was still very eye opening. It made so much sense in the way the dialogue presents how people learn best after they are made fun of or look stupid. It is a prime motivational tool for athletes and even musicians. It is a life lesson that can be used for almost any situation in one life. I truly understand why a movie as basic as this can be so highly rated . No unreal plot or anything special just a very strong cast and a strong motive or theme. I can honestly say Miles Tellers performance was absolutely phenomenal and the fact that he wasn't even given an Oscar nod makes me sick. J.K Simmons winning best performance by a supporting actor was much deserved. I also enjoyed the fact that it was only about an 1 and 30 minutes long. Allowing me to watch it and have time too see another film. It is actually crazy how people are capable of appearing so nice and kind to the public eye, but as soon as they are in privacy they become absolute assholes. I didn't enjoy that it was pretty cliche at times and we are not told what happened to him after his massive solo or the girl. Those are the only things I did not like other than that it was a great film. |
