Whiplash (2014) How much does it take to break you? How much would you give to pursue your passion? That's what Andrew (Miles Teller) must decide. He gets the opportunity to be part of a band in a conservatory, taught by a well-renowned professor (J K Simmons). The question soon becomes "Is the professor trying to challenge him, or humiliate him?" Usually I don't talk about camera angles or shots, but the way the film displays the athleticism of drumming is mind-blowing. The performances are amazing, but it's the story that captivates the viewer.
