speaking of this movie, this kid here playing the same drums from the last scene is crazy.

Was flipping channels while on my phone and decided to leave it on this movie.... For the first 5 minutes I wasn't paying attention to it then I started to get into it... Once JK made his entrance I was hooked... Movie was piff.... Last scene was amazing....

I think I might actually agree with you on that. Too much of the movie's thematics were limited to Andrew's story and his alone. What little side characters there are for his character to play off against are nearly non-existent and aren't along for the ride so we can see it affect them (his girlfriend/ex, his entire family excluding the dad). And because of that, the movie never became bigger than just Andrew's story, which prevented it from becoming great.

Spoiler

The girlfriend part was the biggest problem. He asks her out, go on one date, one text message and a breakup all in like 15-20 mins and they act like they've been together for months and had deep relationship. Also he's still misses her like he knows "she's the one" in the end

We only meet his extended family once at dinner and it had no build-up. At this point there was no indication he dislikes his family since he and his dad get along well and the dinner scene plays out like it should be the 2nd or 3rd time we meet the rest of the family. Just a little dinner scene early with some "Yeah I got into this great music school" with him being kinda dismissed or something because we got no backstory and he explodes on them like he's been waiting his whole life with pent up rage.

i know it's been a while but the thread got bumped


i do think that was all done on purpose... showing that he had no time for anything personal or family... all he cared about was music.. he didn't give a fukk if he cussed the teacher out, lost the papers, snitched, got in an accident, what his family was accomplishing, what this girl was talking about...

every other interaction was rushed because he was rushing through it to get back to work



all he gave a fukk about was those drums

[TheDarceKnight]

this movie is fantastic


hit 'em with the "I know it was you "

miles turner hard on hoes

my only complaint is that I desperately want to know to what happens to andrew (his life, career, etc)

Q: Where do you think these two go after this movie ends? They had a moment at the end of the film, but I feel these two will always hate each other.

A: I think so. I think it’s definitely a fleeting thing. I think there’s a certain amount of damage that will always have been done. Fletcher will always think he won and Andrew will be a sad, empty shell of a person and will die in his 30s of a drug overdose. I have a very dark view of where it goes.

I was watching this tonight, and this just dawned on me...

Remember that folder that disappeared that basically got Andrew his start as the core drummer? That's the same folder that later shows up at the end of the movie when Fletcher tries to sabotage him. Fletcher stole it!!!

Did you enjoy the movie? This is one of my favorites of all time, can't believe I slept on this all these years.

Oh yeah. I redboxed it when it became available back in 2015, and kept renting it over and over again until I was like "fukk it. I should just go and buy it. " I watch it multiple times a year, and usually it's in the spur of the moment like tonight.

Whiplash was my choice for Best Picture in 2014. Although "Birdman" was incredibly shot, in no way was it a more engaging and entertaining movie than "Whiplash". Glad J.K. Simmons won the Oscar, though. He was incredible!

Whiplash makes Birdman look like Iron Man 3
