What I find interesting is the gamble that Fletcher took in this last performance: we know how much of an evil perfectionist he is...going back to the idea of him being furious of "purposeful sabotage" in his band, to cause that kind of sabotage himself is a BIG gamble to his reputation. He had to have had an inkling that Andrew would come back and blow the doors off everyone.
10:52 Jim watching his son's performance from the backstage the look in his eyes is that above horror and astonishment an image that encapsulates Andrews transformation he is horrified by the sacrifice and astounded by the art
Good analysis but one thing you got wrong is Connor. He did not lose his spot to happenstance. He lost his spot for being irresponsible. Citing that he has a memory issue only highlights his irresponsibility. Fletcher took that to say Connor was not prepared which to a guy like Fletcher means Connor didn't want it enough.
Fletcher might have taken it this way, but I believe it was less that Tanner didn't care and more a part of his ego structure, the driving force of this movie. Tanner needed to feel big when the drum kit seemingly sounded like shit to Fletcher's ears during the performance, so he demeaned Neiman to be his assistant by giving him the folder. He replaces the pain in his mind with the idea of identity or passes on the pain or something.
So many people look at this film, Neiman's journey, and Fletcher's brutality in a negative way. These people really don't understand the film at all, I think. So many people sort of glide through life, buoyed along on a raft of mediocrity, of "Good enough." They get to a point where they've achieved mere competency in the areas of their life and talent and stop there, satisfied with their effort. To those people, this film is traumatizing. They walk away from it, horrified, as Neiman holds up a mirror to themselves and shows them that perfection was obtainable, but they chickened out. They climbed half-way up the mountain, then turned around and descended back down, while Miles Teller's character climbed on his hands and knees up to the summit. I find this film aspirational. It fills me with determination to find that one thing that I can really excel at, then push myself as hard as I possibly can to obtain it. To sweat and bleed and lose sleep over. To be given impossible trials and blast through them. To be paired with an uncompromising taskmaster of a mentor, then one day see a look of approval and respect on his face because _I proved him right._ I *was* as good as he thought I could be. That I *could* cut it. Whiplash isn't a horror film to me. It's Rocky.
I'm assuming Fletcher smiles and said "good job" although it doesn't show it... a better ending would have been for Neiman to mouth the words "I don't care what you think " twirl his sticks as he walks off stage. 😁
The price of perfection does not intimidate me one bit. I think that everybody else who is dedicated at there calling feels the same way and will put everything on the line for it

@@jakemiller9909 You're right. Where in the world did I get Connor??
@@TayGee-mh8eo I think that’s the gingers name
@@jakemiller9909 Or rather the name "O'Connor," I haven't seen the movie in a while, but it feels like the name Fletcher would give to demean him.

The final scene was the most satisfying part of this film.
Finally someone who gets it. 👏🏼
I am not talented
I am obsessed

Beautiful video, beautiful comments
Fletcher is a biopolar manic who pretends that anger makes him a genius.
I'm assuming Fletcher smiles and said "good job" although it doesn't show it... a better ending would have been for Neiman to mouth the words "I don't care what you think " twirl his sticks as he walks off stage. 😁
