Most people have a rosy idea of what it takes to become truly great at any given thing. If history (and the greats) have taught us anything, it's that the price of true greatness is paved with misery, suffering, and a stubborn refusal to quit that one can only attain with insanity.
Whiplash follows a drummer whose ultimate ambition is to become a jazz great, and his teacher is a mentor solely focused on forging diamonds from coal, no matter how extreme the methods.
This movie is on my list of best all time films (and I'm sure it's on many other's too), and between the powerful performances, incredible script, and brilliant direction- an instant classic.
