I've previously seen this movie and enjoyed the dynamics of the relationship between the conductor and the student. Having been in a jazz band setting during high school and having competed during all four years I could relate to this movie. The language is questionable and a very strong part of the movie theme by the conductor but makes the student work hard and apply himself. Purchased this as a birthday present for my son in law who is a drummer and thought he could also relate and understand what the student went through. A great movie to watch and is tops with "Drum-line" which also tells a wonderful story of hard work pays off..

A hard-core look from behind the scenes at the nature of competitive musicianship Whiplash is also an allegory of the pursuit of excellence and taking on the challenges of personal growth and change. Well written with not a wasted word, perfectly cast, performed, and filmed. Action, emotion, romance and even violence are blended and balanced to bring a story of triumph with great structural and cosmetic values.

I went to a performing arts high school and there is a lot of competition, BUT there is also a lot of friendship and support. I realize this was a conservatory, not a high school, but I can't believe that even in a very competitive atmosphere that people would be willing to put up with the abuse! It was very entertaining to watch but a little difficult to believe. I can see why it won so many awards.

I was looking to buy this movie, and it wasn’t available in a store near me. I saw this for sale at a Goodwill very cheap and I am very happy with the purchase. Inexpensive, shipped quickly, packed well and played perfectly in my player. I’d certainly recommend this to anyone.
