Miles didn't get enough Oscar Buzz around him, he was incredible so believable, him and J.K was the best pairing on screen on the year

People don't talk about how great Miles was. He played the drums in all his scenes so perfectly and acted so well throughout the film.

I hate describing this as a "music movie" because even though it celebrates jazz and the thrill of jazz music, it's very much about the symbiotic nature of an abusive relationship. In that sense J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller are downright brilliant. It's a shame Teller will probably not get nominated because the Best Actor lineup this year is so talented (Carell, Cumberbatch, Cooper, etc) but Simmons is as close to a shoe-in for a nomination as I can think of.

How did Damien Chazelle not get a directing nomination?

JK Simmons seems like a really nice and fun guy. It's weird to see him like that after watching the movie.

Dear writers of Whiplash, excellent movie. Will be a life long fan. Could you please write a sequel and/or spin-off where Terrence Fletcher teaches/coaches other academic subjects? Subjects like knitting class, marching band, chess team. I want to watch this character teach more subjects.

It's like Black Swan with drumsticks!

Would’ve loved to see Fletcher’s backstory, but he’s much more relatable as a teacher with the vague background. Better for the story by far

I'm too dumb and numb to appreciate the subtly of Boyhood, but Whiplash struck a nerve, and I loved every minute of it. J.K. AND MILES were A-MA-ZING!

The thing that I really admire about this film, specifically the ending scene is that Andrew wasn't aggressive towards Fletcher, he fought back in such a dignified way and didn't stoop down to Fletcher's level, he simply gave the performance of his life and actions really did speak louder than words and Fletcher could see that Andrew had morphed into the musician that Fletcher had been searching for! Just a masterpiece!

No movie this year was more deserving of awards than Whiplash. Fuck the Hollywood Foreign Press. Fuck the Academy. This thing was snubbed in almost every category.

I think leaving out Fletchers personal life was a good call for the story. It wasnt a story for Fletcher to grow and learn from, it was Andrew's story and being his age, accented his college days where we are self-focused more than later in life. Intended or not it shows great director intuitions.

Now I want to see JK Simmons play as a Drill Instructor.

As a musician I could tell the director had not only played, but had performed live, and perhaps even well. That out of body experience at the end of the movie happened to me when I was, in the words of Halford, locked in to my performance and kicking ass live. Though I was always high and drunk when I was playing. So who really knows.
