Prerequisite: A young drummer at a prestigious music school is required by ruthless headmaster of the department, the best can possibly` off, no matter what the consequences. About: Writer and director Damien Chazelle is a name for himself as an up-and-coming talent Watch Whiplash Online Free in Hollywood quickly. She recently wrote the Elijah Wood rigid wing (whose script I discussed here), and now he's written and directed his first "major" film, with whiplash. Whiplash was the favorite at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Audience Award and the dramatic Bothan award. It stars Miles Teller, an up-and-coming talent of his own, who played in just this last weekend "That Awkward Moment" and last year The Spectacular Now. Chazelle graduated from Harvard and began his career by writing and directing a little musical called "Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench." She was also hired The Last Exorcism 2 (which is kind of an oxymoron, right?). We put thought that enough money in your pocket Chazelle to write the films they wanted. Writer: Damien ChazelleI've skeptical of this one from the beginning. A film about ... drums? About drummers Competing ?? Okay okay, yes I know. You can write a good script about everything. In the end it's about the characters anyway, so what's the subject matter? But a film about ... drums ?? On top of that, it is with Miles Teller, Hollywood's new star can not miss. Well, I have nothing against Miles. I think he's really talented. The Spectacular Now was in my top 10 of last year, and much of this was due to him. But the thing is, once Hollywood takes someone to their IT-Boy (or It-Girl), the critic and independent community be being blinded a little of this gloss star. You start anointing each film, he is as amazing because the gloss has faded from sight error of the film. I have it happen many a time before. Shia LaBeouf career that comes to mind (Eagle Eye and Distubia? Come on, they were O-KAY., But I would not be "good"). With that said, it is not easy, both the dramatic and audience awards at Sundance to get hold of. The dramatic price usually goes to some really esoteric artistic movie about a man who makes Romanian candles. The Audience Award goes to the feel-good film of the festival.
Well, this one seemingly made all feel good, judges and audience alike. Let's see if the screen play made me feel the same. Whiplash the plot is a bit simplistic. Actually that's an understatement. Andrew Neyman, 19 years old, kind of an outsider goes to a special music school in New York. He plays drums, and he is good at it. Not great, but good. So one day, during the game, this guy named Fletcher, who is the Da Vinci this school orchestra and one of the scariest men alive, is in practice to a meeting to hear him play at Andrew. He is not overly impressed, but it is something in Andrew's eyes, says Fletcher to give him a chance. So Fletcher makes it an alternative to the school band, a band that many consider to be the best in the country. After a screw-up of one of the other drum chairs, Andrew is able to grab one of the main spots, and they arent good enough to make him a full-time member. What seems like a good thing. The problem is, Fletcher is a fucking psychopath obsessed with pushing his players about every and all reasonable thresholds.
He cursed at her, throwing things at them, called them derogatory names such as "fagot" (GLAAD is a field day with this one have). He does it under the guise of pushing his students to be great, but the truth is, he is only a deranged madman. So Andrew pushes and pushes and pushes Andrew Andrew Andrew, until finally cracks and beats the shit out of it. This leads to him getting kicked out of school, and Andrew canceling their dream of drums. Finally, he is approached by a law firm that is trying to take down Fletcher for a while (that's around page 80). You want him to testify against anonymous Fletcher to throw him out of school. Andrew does, then starts a new life as a paralegal. That is until she runs into the now fired Fletcher, who wants his play Andrew in a new band. Andrew decides that she still loves drums and as authorized representative, only to find out when they fail at the last great concert that he has to, gets set humiliated by Fletcher.
