  I was unaware that LaLaLand and Whiplash were written by the same person! I absolutely loved both.

  May we be blessed with more lower budget passion project films... they're always top tier

  This movie is a student horror movie—- as in I’m sure many people went thru similar anxiety as students. Mine was a very intense critic/mentor in architecture school. He dragged me through hell!

  Just to be clear here, you CAN NOT slam your fist through a drum head, that is fiction. Drum heads are TOUGH AF. They are designed to take a beating. You are 99.99999% more likely to break your hand than even putting a small dent with your fist on a snare head. Looks great on screen? Sure, its a paper head on screen. Great movie, but Damien, dont lie bro lol.

  Unreal.. Whiplash is one of those films that would be deserving of a film about the making of the film. And not just like an easy, little, low cost documentary. but a full feature film in 20 years looking back on just how incredible of a feat it was.. a rookie/novice writer and production team work with two, destine-to-be A-list stars, on a very tight schedule and budget. Yet manage to create a cinematic masterpiece. thats a script in and of itself.

  As a pianist and percussionist throughout childhood, high school, and college, I’m incredibly thankful and lucky that I never had a music instructor that was anything like this, unlike quite a few other musicians I’ve known or experiences I’ve seen. Thank GOD

  J.K. Simmon's made this film. What a performance. You cant say J.K. Simmons doesnt get roles or isnt a well known/recognized actor. but it's unfortunate how few roles he's had that allow him to display his full acting capabilities. id say no film has allowed him to display his acting skills at the level he was able to in Whiplash.

  19 days of shooting for a movie with topnotch performance, talking about efficiency. this taught me few things, when you have tight budget and short deadline, make sure the scrip is so good that even big shot won't let it pass, make the setup and lighting simple so all you need to focus on is performance, shoot the thing, the editing job is already half down in the screenplay. simple techniques work in wonders

  I went to high school with the director.  Princeton high school is exactly like that.

  Teller is really a great actor. I mean JK simmons is obviously great, but having only been in a few movies he showed great promise from the very beginning. I loved his acting in Whiplash it’s so real and you can really feel the obsession and all the inner feelings of the characters on his face. Anger, looking for approval, dissapointment. God I love this movie
