Whiplash

2014 | 107 min | K-12 | drama, musical

Andrew Neyman is an ambitious young jazz drummer determined to rise to the top of his elite conservatory on the US East Coast. Andrew craves recognition for his skills. Terence Fletcher – a music teacher known as much for his skills as a teacher of the gifted as for his creepy teaching methods – leads the school’s best jazz band.

Fletcher notices Andrew’s talents, transfers the young musician to his band, and at the same time changes his life forever. Andrew’s passionate pursuit of perfection quickly turns into an obsession as his merciless teacher pushes him to the limits of his abilities – and ultimately madness.

Directed by Damien Chazelle. As actors, e.g. Miles Teller, J.K. Simmons and Melissa Benoist. The film was significantly awarded with three Oscars.

For media educator

Jazz-filled Whiplash can be of interest to those whose hobby runs at the competitive level or can lead to a profession. The film reflects on talent, diligence, and ambition, as well as the relationship between coach and student through dramatic twists and turns. The line between dedication and insanity seems to be fine. Whiplash can also be interpreted as reviving the geniuses of the Romantic era. The film uses a lot of coarse languages.
