Whiplash

I don't think it had a moral at all, it was just showing what really intense and dedicated artists are like. The only moral commentary really was 'these guys are not the nicest people'.

Morals are made by jews

Jazz is a meme genra.

That most professionals are psychopaths.

kek

Greatness requires dedication and truly believing you're better than everyone else, millennials just need a failed boomer has-been to show them.

Not my fucking tempo.

DUDE CHARLIE PARKER GOT BULLIED AND BECAME GOOD, EVERY TALENTED MUSICIAN MUST BE JUST LIKE HIM I SHOULD TORMENT MY STUDENTS PERSONALLY AND DRIVE THEM OUT OF MY BAND FOR MAKING TRIVIAL MISTAKES LMAO

People in positions of power can be abusive. If you don't believe he was, then you're suggestible to this kind of abuse yourself.

greatness is not for casuals

Don’t sob all over a drum set like a 9 year old girl

I agree, but this movie did have a clear message along the lines of

Everyone else here is sarcastic or retarded

Excellence needs adversity.

I thought Fletcher was full of conviction until he literally tried to fuck over his crew in the end by giving Andrew the wrong sheet. He said earlier in the movie that people who ruin the piece, either by being mediocre or anything else, are the lowest of the low.

He then proceeds to try to ruin the piece only to see Andrew pull a fast one. He didn't plan for Andrew to succeed. It just happened and then he took advantage of it.

Holy shit someone here actually watched the movie

Damien Chazelle venting out about how talentless he is. The flick was nothing more than an exercise in catharsis. Recall that Chazelle wanted originally to be a jazz musician as well but failed because of his lack of talent.

>dude it's hard being a musician lol
>dude my instructor is so mean :(
>let me get him fired because he's abusive!
>dude haha whiplash, I can't play anything but that one song, the only one to be featured in the movie this whole time, so I'll force this concert around to fit my selfish needs :^)
Absolutely brilliant film. Bravo, Chazelle. Bravo.

People who lack talent live vicariously through their pupils to an unhealthy degree

The only instrument Fletcher played in the entire movie was the keyboard which is baby's first instrument

bruh

Who knows?

Drummer boy became a force of sheer will and determination, but he's now a mentally unstable genius. But I don't think a life spent with his boomer father would ignoring his dream would have been fulfilling either.

I think anyone who thinks highly of either Andrew or Flethcer HAS to be under 18. Just look at his sperg out at the dinner table.

the final scene in this movie is god-tier

some weird daddy issue shit

That only faggots look for morals in films instead of themes.

That's high level achiever shit. When you're getting close to the top of the mountain and not there yet, shit gets volatile. Signed, former D1 athlete.

That he only cared about winning some faggy college competition

That was my favorite scene in the film. Those mediocre people were in no place to denigrate what he did. Andrew was right, no one cares about some 2nd rate college football player who isn't even D1

The point being that people care because that's... what they care about. I don't scream at strangers for not caring that I'm ackshully an e-sports pro and they should totally bow down because I've won 10,000 dollars playing Fortnite before.

I liked it better when it was called Full Metal Jacket

From the MC's point of view: "You really have to strive to achieve something."

From the point of view of the Antagonist: "You are not perfect in your craft".
