One of my favorite endings of all time. The first time I watched it I thought it was a triumph, but then upon rewatch, I realized it was actually tragic. That Andrew had gotten what he wanted, but at the cost of losing a piece of himself to the obsession, and that he wanted to be part of this toxic relationship with Fletcher because he believed it was the way. It was set up in the scene before when Andrew meets Fletcher at the jazz bar and it’s akin to someone going back to an abusive relationship. He just can’t help himself. Edit: also to answer your question, Miles Teller had been a drummer prior to filming the movie. He had been in a rock band in high school. Though he had to learn jazz drumming techniques for the movie

I don’t disagree with your analysis as most people seem to have the same idea. But it’s kind of interesting that we can watch sports or military movies with much of the same behavior coming from the authority but we don’t call it out. Only for the art film haha. For example, Tom Hanks’ character in A League of Their Own was super abusive. Almost worse in that he wasn’t even trying to mold anyone into a great player, was just content to booze it out in the dugout. Then they started winning games and suddenly he’s interested. Mickey treated Rocky like absolute garbage and pretty much threw him away until Rocky got his lucky shot and then Mickey came begging at Rocky’s door to be his manager. These characters seem to be largely motivated by self interest and definitely show abuse but we love them, even hold them in high regard. We believe that they even make our heroes better by their actions. But “Oh No! Fletcher is evil, look at how he leads Andrew down the dark path!” To be honest, while I don’t necessarily disagree with your analysis, I don’t know if I agree with it either. At the very least, perhaps it’s both a tragedy and a triumph.

@@rynefox7366 That's true, HOWEVER it also comes down to risk vs reward. Rocky, A League of Their Own, etc, all function differently because these characters are ultimately good people doing everything to get the best out of their pupils. Fletcher isn't a good person, the film goes out of its way to establish that. And in the end those other characters still have arcs and development. Fletcher doesn't. Rocky and the rest wanted to accomplish goals within reason, but Andrew just wants to shine bright and fizzle out if need be. Methods aside, the outcomes are far more rootable in those other films.

It is tragic but that's just how it is with a lot of great musicians. And let's just ignore toxic relationship from this movie in this example that I'm about to talk about because not every musician goes through that. They do all cut a piece of themselves for the greatness but a lot of them don't actually regret it. For example, I listen to classical music a lot, especially classical piano music and I watched a lot of documentaries on basically the greatest pianists ever and the truth is they just want to play piano more than anything else in life. They would rather cut everything and everyone else from life than stop playing. Some of them are in terrible, actually non existent relationships with their families, parents, children because they are just always absent. The highest level of passion and obsession is literally keeping them away from people and they are just okay with that, okay with sacrifices in life because playing the piano is more important to them. It's the most important thing in their lives. A lot of greats are like that, especially in jazz and classical.

​@@MisTTwistedYeah, I believe that's the overall message here. Life in general is full of tragedy and choices that aren't always very clear. Even though his dad supported him in some ways, he didn't really seem to have a lot of faith in his music career. I think this shows how a lot of times people won't understand the passion you might have to follow your dreams. It's up to you to make these decisions and go through the hardships. I think people look at the end as something negative, but I think it's purposefully ambiguous. Although you probably don't want to see Fletcher ultimately "win," Neiman won't have to feel like it was all for nothing. He finally reached success in the most unlikely circumstance with everyone there to witness it.

horror, or awe? see, i thought that his father was supportive of his son, but only on the surface. he lowkey thought andrew was pathetic in his life choices, but couldn’t bare to tell him he was wasting his time - except when the nut-busting overly superior family members were around. then dear old dad just joined right on in with them talking against andrew. when he saw him play at the end, i thought his expression was more of, “hey, you don’t suck. matter of fact you’re really spectacular, and i never knew.” dad was too accepting of mediocrity to recognize greatness in his own son. until he was forced to.

20:55 When Fletcher gets upset about Sean Casey's death, I don't believe that he cared about him as a person but he was more so devastated by the fact that someone he considered his best product died before he could reach his full potential as his "Charlie Parker." The same potential he sees in Andrew! Fletcher is just too narcissistic and broken inside to realize his methods are flawed, and needs to keep believing that the abuse he puts people through is the one and only way to achieve greatness! And if you can't handle it, you're just not good enough and don't have what it takes. Not once does he ever self-reflect on his actions, and wonders "maybe I was wrong." but instead goes more psychotic and started pushing Andrew even harder.

"Psychological warfare" is a really good way to describe this movie. There are comfort movies, and then "discomfort movies" like this one.

@applegeepedigree

Right. Andrew is torching every single relationship he has for this plan to be great. His family, his girlfriend, even his fellow musicians whom he shares this passion with he views as competition. Fletcher is the only relationship he leaves himself with because he views it as useful and validates his climbing of Everest.

It’s one of the most divisive endings ever. In his triumph, he basically sold his soul. But it was worth it to him. That’s the point. He even says at the dinner earlier in the film, he’d rather be dead and remembered at thirty than die old as someone who never achieved everything he wanted. Fletcher wasn’t correct in his methods, but he was the push Andrew ultimately thirsted for.

At 7:42, when he says “milk the c%&t” I realized he means play middle C on the piano, getting them all in tune, the same way an orchestra gets in tune before a concert.

This movie is epic, this movie certainly had its fair share of stand-in and filmmaking magic at its disposal, Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons’s respective musical background ensured that their characters’ talents were well-realized as far as their musical talent was concerned. Teller had been playing drums since he was 15 and took on additional classes before filming to sell Andrew’s sublime skill on screen. Simmons on the other hand has a musical degree and played piano in the past and was able to sink into his role after a bit of practice before filming began. While the movie is not an exact carbon copy of the 2013 short film that inspired it, there is one line of dialogue that made its way into the big screen that surprised one of its leads. After having successfully played Andrew to his own twisted whims, Fletcher decides to verbally abuse the unfortunate freshman during which the cruel instructor menacingly states that he “will f**k him like a pig”. Initially, the line was supposed to be “I will gut you like a pig” but Chazelle found the former hilarious (especially since that Simmons misspoke while delivering the line) and opted to use it despite J.K. Simmons deeming the colorful piece of dialogue ridiculous. Keep up the good work.

This film really reminded me of art school. Just beating the fun of creativity out of you until you become a production machine.

Drill Sargeants put pressure on officer candidates because an officer will ultimately be responsible for people's lives.

what a great reaction!! stress is definitely the feeling of this movie haha, but I find it fascinating. To me, the family dinner scene was so key to showing Andrew's character- growing up as a musician in a sports family, I think he constantly felt like he had something to prove to validate the greatness he was trying to achieve, and it was also key to show how much he was emulating Fletcher when he was hurling the insults at his cousins, just like Fletcher did to everyone around him. They were both obsessed with greatness. But Andrew is an 18 year old kid, trying to get approval, so I felt bad for him honestly. I honestly think Fletcher thinks his motives are pure in pushing students the way he does, even though it's obviously insane. The ending where Andrew's dad's face is between the curtains, you can see he finally gets it, what his son is so passionate about and how good he really is, and that whole sequence just gives me chills.

incredible movie. its one of the very rare movies where the protagonist and the antagonist get what they want at the exact same moment

Also it stands up to repeated views which you may not think it would. My nephews drum kit is in my front room, I rarely touch it, i think this movie is to learning drums, what Jaws is to having a nice swim in sea haha.

When I first watched this movie years ago I was anxious and nervous but I was suprisied by the ending of it. Andrew gets back at Fletcher perfectly by showing off his true drumming talents and Fletcher finaly realizes that. Fletcher played a good villain that he's one of the few professors to really push his students to thier ultimate breaking points. Fletcher was abusive indeed and was a terrible teacher. Great and good teachers don't abuse thier students. There are plenty of other ways and methods to teach students. Whiplash is one of the best movies of 2014 and is one of the best movies off all time. I'm not into jazz much at all but I admit I still like a little jazz here and there just not a whole lot.

The absolute best part of the this movie, and many movies of the past, is that it didn't tell you what to think. There are 173 comments at the time of writing this and many are debating all the finer points of the movie. That is what good cinema used to do; lay out an extremely good product and then sit back and let the public "chew" on it for years debating all the interesting points. Is Fletcher a monster for effectively leading to a student's death or an amazing teacher for finding and pushing another student to potential greatness? Did Andrew lose his humanity in chasing a dream? Will he come to regret his decisions later in life? Man I miss good movies.

Damian Chazelle also did Babylon, which was a bomb at the box office but I really enjoyed it. It's utterly chaotic but with some amazing performances from Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Jean Smart, Diego Calva and a stunning cameo from Tobey Maguire. It also helps if you've seen Singing in the Rain.

Growing up playing in different bands, I've seen this "style" of teaching before, but not nearly this extreme. I had one teacher who was let's just say "very passionate" about us being the best we could be. She broke a lot of conducting batons but never threw anything at us or insulted us and we all liked her. We were the best band in the state so I can't knock it too much. What is portrayed in this movie though is completely unacceptable. I would NEVER put up with anything close to what Fletcher does in this movie.

A professional drummer analyzed the not-my-tempo scene using a computer and determined that Fletcher was screwing with him, since his tempo from take to take was never more than 1-3 BPM off, which is nothing to throw a chair about. And 33:16 another reviewer noticed a subtle bit of symbolism throughout the film: a character's power depends on the color he wears, with darker colors corresponding to greater power. Fletcher wears black throughout the film, but Andrew (and Elmer Fudd) wear white in the beginning. By the end, Andrew has slowly switched over to wearing black, and now has power over Fletcher.

As a musician/drummer, I appreciate this movie very much. Even if half the moments in this are unrealistic like all the assault n crap. 😂 That made it more entertaining 👍🏽

One of the best films ever made. Simple.

Hell yeah, this is like my favorite movie of all time, glad you guys are doing a video on it!

Drumming is not just about speed, it is about music. Endurance is not art. Note his piano playing is laid back and slow.

In a lot of ways I feel this movie is similar to The Prestige in that it shows two guys who are so obsessed with their goal that nothing is unacceptable in the pursuit of it.

Fletcher illustrates a "talent parasite." He doesn't actually teach them anything, just randomly tortures them until ones who happen to be both talented and suggestible show themselves. Then he brainwashes them to think he's helping them when he's just taking the credit for their performances. But he takes no responsibility for failing the ones he drives away. So it's win-win for him, but mostly losing for his students.

Another movie that keeps you uncomfortable is Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems. Teller played most of it (99%), but there were parts at the end where some hand shots were a professional drummer and teller had some places where he played while a recording was going. The ending of this story is really sad, because Fletcher's teachings using heavy abuse worked. His dad knows that he has lost his son and Andrew is most likely going to die early in his life like Sean Casey. Andrew thinks he is getting back at Fletcher by one-upping him at the end, but Fletcher is the one in control.

JK Simmons is such a good actor and very versatile. Please get to Burn After Reading. His part isn’t that big but is really funny and the whole movie is awesome with a great cast.

Jazz-loving Clint Eastwood directed a bio montage of a saxophone great, Charlie Parker - BIRD, 1988. Great reviews, tiny box office.

We haven't had many great movies come out of Hollywood in the last 15 years but this was a great movie and the Academy actually got it right with giving JK best supporting actor.

You guys need to watch War Dogs. Awesome Teller flick. Johan Hill is awesome in it as well!

Fletcher lied about the cause of death for Shawn Casey. Saying that to a room full of students in the internet age makes little sense. Shawn's real manner of death would have quickly been discovered. For Fletcher to lie and not expect to be discovered strains credulity.
