I saw an interview with JK Simmons where he said the director wanted to talk to him about getting him up to speed so he could look like a jazz conductor, and Miles Teller could authentically fake the drumming. JK started laughing because he has degrees in music, and Miles plays drums in a band. According to JK, the director seriously didn't know this. If it's true, what a magical bit of casting.
When the protagonist and the antagonist both win and lose in the end, and they're both happy about it. The sad thing about the ending is that Neiman will think that the abuse was worth it to become great and will be chasing the high of that performance forever. Fletcher will think his crazy techniques were vindicated.
@@MichaelMele-u5m The abuse succeeded in Neiman's particular case. But it's a logical fallacy to assume that it was necessary and the only way to become the greatest. What does it take- innate skill, tons of practice, teachers, tools, random chance? Fletcher says that if he had said "Good job" it'd have prevented Neiman from excelling. Maybe that's true. Or maybe Neiman, or someone else in his class would have thrived with encouragement rather than adversity. Who knows? How many performers had the potential to be great if they'd simply practiced daily for 2 years but quit after the first verbal beatdown? Fletcher's way is like insisting the best way to create the next Olympic swimmer is to take a decently good swimmer and through them in the harbor till they make it across quicker and quicker. If they drown.. fuck them, they weren't meant to be it. It might work, and the results would be astonishing, but also you might get the same or better if you took 10 swimmers and made them train like a normal Olympian. I think this film wants us to ask these questions. But I think it's also very clear that what Fletcher is doing is insane, and it's making Neiman into a worse person who pushes away everyone else.
If you think that, then I'm sorry to say you didn't understand the movie at all. The face Neyman has at the very last scene is of regret. He regrets ever having stepped inside the conservatory. I like to believe that after the movie ends, Neyman goes back to engaging with his ex, forms a family and follows his dad's path. The whole thing people think about ambition has nothing to do with the way he behaves, but rather with the regret of being forced to do something that he doesn't enjoy at all (music, drumming) just because he's good at it and wants to be better and more successfull than his cousin the football player.
I'm pretty sure the implication of the dinner scene was that Neiman would go on to die similarly to how he would have preferred to have died. Drunk, broke at 34 with a bunch of people talking about him at a dinner table. Maybe not broke but I'm pretty sure the implication is that he would go on to die way to young and broken at least. But people would definitely remember him.
This film was made at an impressive speed of only 19 days, and director Damien Chazelle managed to complete filming on time despite suffering a concussion from a car crash midway through filming.
I'm a subscriber who rarely comments but when Vince said he was about to cry, I felt like I should comment and say that I'm glad that he felt the soul and passion that this movie gives. Someone who has no idea about musical theory and feels all those emotions speaks for himself and how good the movies actually is. I am very happy that Vince felt the same emotions that I felt when I watched this movie the first time.
This is one of the two movies I’ve ever seen that captures the feeling that “this character fucking loves what he does” Pure magic. That ending is pure magic. Anybody who has ever performed or competed in anything at a higher level can relate. One of the greatest movies of all time. Vince recognized it himself as a former athlete.
@ The moment of magic for me is the solo. Damien Chazelle the director says the ending itself after that moment is a tragic one, that Andrew will likely pursue this unobtainable greatness and will eventually kill himself in his 30’s
If you guys didn’t notice, the sheet music Fletcher gave Andrew at the end was the one from the lost folder. Meaning Fletcher took it from the chair once Neiman put it down, forcing him to play at the concert and become core player.
This film is so bittersweet. Throughout the movie, there's always music playing, even if just soft piano or a bass line. It feels symbolic of Andrew's passion for drumming. But the audio cuts out towards the end of his solo, and all you hear is wind blowing. He became a technically brilliant drummer, but his passion is gone, replaced by a constant need for validation from Fletcher.
@ huh?? You’re not even gonna try to explain it. This is what’s wrong with half of these dogshit opinions on the internet. Andrew’s most famous quote from this movie. “I'd rather die drunk, broke at 34 and have people at a dinner table talk about me than live to be rich and sober at 90 and nobody remembered who I was.” If this obsession does lead to lose as the comment said. Andrew is clearly ok with that, because he is become one of the greats. Fletcher pushed him into become one of the greats. This is the best ending for Andrew and Fletcher. Both get what they want.
@@MonsieurDijon But he hasn't become one of the greats. He has only played into the toxicity, as indicated by the horror on his father's face that is there to clue in the audience in case they didn't catch on before they made a stupid dogshit like "derrrr... but he looks happy" comment. ;)
My favorite subtle detail of Fletcher's abuse is that he doesn't ever bother to pronounce Andrew's name correctly. Andrew says his name is Nayman, but Fletcher calls him Neeman. It's a simple dick move that immediately diminishes Andrew.
I took a screenwriting class in college and we studied this script because of how flawless it is. Every scene, every piece of dialogue works for the film. No fat.
My son started playing drums last year. He showed me this movie. I’ve played guitar for about 30 years, so we jam together all the time. But wow did I fall in love with this movie. Such an amazing film. We watch it together at least once a month. Great film reaction guys.
The look on his dad's face during the final drum solo is so good, no smile, no hint of pride... just horror. For one short hug he thought he got his son back but in the end the abusive teacher came out on top, and he shows it grinning ear to ear.
I spent a decade in the US Army in combat arms. Our drill sergeants were brutal, yet incredible, leaders. Fletcher is an example of leadership failure when that keep falls on the shoulders of an unregulated narcissist. I learned so much from Sergeant Ware, a hardcore, top leader in my tank unit many years ago. One day, he sat down with us and spoke at length about leadership and enablement. One phrase stuck with me for the rest of my life (paraphrasing): The very best leaders, lead with the heart first and foremost. You start from there. That provides your foundation. Everything else you do depends on that core context. Today, I wonder where that sergeant is in life and whether he realizes the impact he had on so many soldiers.
This film made me feel so many emotions anger, frustration, happiness, fear… it was a rollercoaster that I didn’t want to end! And I don’t like rollercoasters!
Awesome reaction! I think both of you would love la La land , it was made by the director of Whiplash and it honestly is my favorite movie of all time. No pressure though.
"Caravan" is on the 1962 album "Money Jungle" by Duke Ellington on piano, Charles Mingus on the double bassist, and Max Roach on the drums (it is on Apple Music). It's one of the best jazz albums I've heard in quite some time, with 15 tracks of pure bliss.
Yeah Vince you summed it up so well. Its exactly why this is one of my favorite movies. I admire how they show the terrible methods used by Fletcher but then you see the final result and makes you secind guess whether he's really wrong in using them if he produced the results. And watching someone overcome so many challenges and work so hard super resonates with me. Fantastic movie
When fletcher tried to screw up his final performance by giving him a song he never heard before, THAT was the final test. Because the next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged. Neiman proved that by not only being incredibly embarrassed by not knowing the song and leaving the stage, but turning back and giving it his all. Morally what fletcher is doing is wrong 100%, but i have to agree in that the next "Greats" must face severe challenges and only the strongest of them will make it as the greats. Incredible movie every time i watch it.
As a drummer myself this movie is spectacular, not only is this movie brilliantly written, inspiring, and cinematically shot beautifully. This movie is very personal.
I went to college on a jazz scholarship, played at jazz festivals and conventions across the country, etc. I love this movie, it stresses me out like no other because there are grains of truth in it.
Nominated for 5 Oscars and won 3 (it won Supporting Actor for J. K. Simmons, Sound Mixing, and Film Editing, and lost Adapted Screenplay and Picture to THE IMITATION GAME and BIRDMAN respectively).
YES! Great Reaction guys. This was done as a short film which is on youtube. You can look it up as whiplash short film. It's cool to see it go from Short Film to an actual Cinematic Film. Goes to show you don't need special FX or CGI. Just good acting, script, lighting and camera work.
I've got a drive-in about 10 miles from my house that is like a 50's drive-in. I think they've never changed, besides the projector and sound. They have a pool table in the projector/kitchen area so you can play pinball or pool while you wait for your burgers or pizza. The sound comes through your stereo but you can use those little speakers that go on your windows. And it's $10 for 2 movies! I love that place, especially when we're bored and can't think of anything else to do.
To answer your question. Tape, bandages, calluses. Specifically the calluses gained from your specific instrument. For drummers it’s on the ridges of your finger knuckles from friction. For string instruments it’s commonly your finger tips from the metal/nylon strings. Calluses are your best friend.
-one of the best movies of the last 10 years -if a movie whose subject u know nothing about can make u care about it by the end is perfection -I just love that this was a small film that everyone universally loves, traumatic…but still loves.
Now watch Sound of Metal. It's also about a drummer but one who loses their hearing. It's amazingly acted and also speaks to having passion and then how it feels to lose it.
finallt a reaction where the greatness of the movie is actually appreciated.. most of the other reactors keeps talking about if fletcher was correct in his methods or not..and they forget that there is a monster being born in front of them.. this movie is just PERFECT
@14:23 It's called a Standing Bass! The cello you sit with (it is at least 3x smaller) and you play it with a bow most of the time. of course, you can pluck all string instruments but, the 'Standing Bass' is mostly plucked in a Jazz band to give it that funky, grounded soul, when you want to play the 'Standing Bass' with a bow, you get the classical, rich deep tones of each string. The same goes for the Cello! (I was In Orchestra for 7/8 years and played the Violin.)
Damn I actually stuck around for the post reaction commentary, Im glad you liked it bro it definitely resonates with most people on a certain level, yet differently for everyone that shit fye
Wish I could give it two thumbs up. This is why I watch these reaction videos. Thank you. Experiencing this masterpiece again through your eyes was awesome.
It's top 10 worthy, without a doubt. W take. I'm a drummer; I never went through anything like this. I did spend some nights on living room floors, though.
Yeah, this movie is something else since I seen it it's been a favorite. It gets everyone at the end a really good movie.💯 Awesome show there, Vince and Shoshanna. Keep up the terrific work. Also, Vince it got me at the end like that as well. Saw this one in the theater I tell yall something whole held their breath at the end then everyone clapped it's a good movie. Yall take care now💯
This movie is really good; the script is so tight. I used to play the flute in high school marching band, but I never really wanted to be great at it; I just liked playing an instrument and the music. This movie showed me something I'm familiar with, but not.
Great reaction vid of a great, great film. Shosh: the left-hand reverse grip dates back to when marching drummers had to accomodate the drum being off to their side. My interpretation is that Fletcher truly believed Andrew didn't have "it" until that last scene. Then, they both knew.
Terence Fletcher really is an accurate depiction of some music teachers. The music teacher at my school actually did hurl a chair at a student one time 😂
The way Shoshana was looking at Vince when he was talking about how much he loved the movie, you can tell they are the perfect couple for each other… or the perfect mix I guess you could say😂 absolutely amazing movie, also in my top 10, everything from the directing, cinematography, acting and writing, and also the use of *colour* in this movie is *perfect* the orange-ey red lighting for more “uplifting” scenes, and then the cool bluish green for the more “heart shattering” scenes. Just an outstanding, beautifully made film imho
If you wanna excel at something there is always a bigger sacrifice to be made, most people don't and are average at everything... Very glad that you loved the movie, would have been disappointed if you didn't :D
I felt the EXACT same way as Vince. Rated it a 10 MASTERPIECE on ScreenClub. I can relate about the mindset of feeling like you can only be great if you are willing to sacrifice things and push yourself. Obviously there is a limit and sometimes its too far for people.
One of the few movies that have made me hated a character as much as I hate fletcher. I love this movie but I think people can become the greatest without going through physical or emotional pain. Just my take! haha but this movie is def in my top 20 easy!
I guess I saw the ending way different than y'all did (not saying you two are wrong on your opinion). To me, the ending of this story is really sad, because Fletcher's teachings by using heavy abuse worked. His dad knows that he has lost his son at the end of the movie and Andrew is most likely going to die early in his life like Sean Casey (PTSD from Fletcher). Andrew thinks he is getting back at Fletcher by one-upping him at the end, but Fletcher is the one in control, he won.
I truly believe Andrew did what he did in the end despite his father never really supporting him the way he needed him to for him to be great. His dad was the exact opposite of Fletcher and was completely okay with Andrew being "normal" and not pursuing his passions or giving it his all. Fletcher is way too far on the other side but I think Andrew always wanted someone to push him
the music and the passion for it is beautiful, but the physical and emotional trauma makes this movie a psychological horror and a tragedy for me personally. Still one of my favorite movies, and it was a shame it lost the Oscars Best Picture to Birdman even though that's a great movie too.
There's so many things I could say about this movie and how great it is and how great this reaction was but one big thing that really stood out to me is how shoshana was so happy that it made it into Vince's top 10 on how much he liked it That just seemed so beautiful and like such a genuine lovely reaction

@@Nicholas_is_my_nameagreed I need to know
I’ve heard that the ending was a bad ending showing that Andrew gave up everything in his life for fletcher’s approval.
@ The moment of magic for me is the solo. Damien Chazelle the director says the ending itself after that moment is a tragic one, that Andrew will likely pursue this unobtainable greatness and will eventually kill himself in his 30’s
The other movie is Uncut Gems, my boy Adam Sandler just loves gambling 🤓
when you're a good film director, even a drummer movie is incredible
If you guys didn’t notice, the sheet music Fletcher gave Andrew at the end was the one from the lost folder. Meaning Fletcher took it from the chair once Neiman put it down, forcing him to play at the concert and become core player.
I never noticed!!!
How do you know that?
Do you realize how many copies of the same folders and sheets of music there are in those settings? Clearly not.
This is just untrue.
Never heard this idea before, is this just a fan theory?
One of my top 5 films. Outstanding cinematography and acting
I always tear up when the dad is seen watching by the window
This film is so bittersweet. Throughout the movie, there's always music playing, even if just soft piano or a bass line. It feels symbolic of Andrew's passion for drumming. But the audio cuts out towards the end of his solo, and all you hear is wind blowing.

To me, ths ending is anything but happy. It just verifies how obsession can make you lose it. Masterpiece.
The horrified look on his dad's face sends chills down my spine. He realizes how dire the situation is.
It is a happy ending for andrew though. it is exactly what he wanted.

Your reaction is the reason I watch reaction videos. Love it 👏🏾👏🏾
You may be the only ones on RUclips that "got" this GREAT film. The complexity behind the strive for greatness.
Vince put it perfectly, “ he did him dirty….” Love this film!😆🤘

To answer your question. Tape, bandages, calluses. Specifically the calluses gained from your specific instrument. For drummers it’s on the ridges of your finger knuckles from friction. For string instruments it’s commonly your finger tips from the metal/nylon strings. Calluses are your best friend.
Welcome to the fold, Vince. You’re assessment was correct. This is one of the best films of all time.
-one of the best movies of the last 10 years
-if a movie whose subject u know nothing about can make u care about it by the end is perfection
-I just love that this was a small film that everyone universally loves, traumatic…but still loves.
So great to feel passion make you cry 😭😭🤘
Will never tire of this film. Can I suggest Black Swan (2010)?
Now watch Sound of Metal. It's also about a drummer but one who loses their hearing. It's amazingly acted and also speaks to having passion and then how it feels to lose it.
Y’all have to watch La La land next
I am right there with Vince, another one about passion and sports that you would be surprised on is Borg vs McEnroe! Super slept on
finallt a reaction where the greatness of the movie is actually appreciated.. most of the other reactors keeps talking about if fletcher was correct in his methods or not..and they forget that there is a monster being born in front of them.. this movie is just PERFECT
One of the greatest movies ever made, and probably in my top three with Nightcrawler and Interstellar. I LOVE this movie.
I HUNT good reactions for this movie and i was definitely waiting for you guys to watch it xD
0:46 It's never too late. My oldest ukulele student is 79 :3. Plus hitting things with sticks is fun lmao.
As a drummer this movie gives me so much ptsd 😂
@14:23 It's called a Standing Bass! The cello you sit with (it is at least 3x smaller) and you play it with a bow most of the time. of course, you can pluck all string instruments but, the 'Standing Bass' is mostly plucked in a Jazz band to give it that funky, grounded soul, when you want to play the 'Standing Bass' with a bow, you get the classical, rich deep tones of each string. The same goes for the Cello! (I was In Orchestra for 7/8 years and played the Violin.)
I’m sure it’s more commonly known as a double bass :)
I love the last song. The drummer was saying" your going to play at my tempo/my pace." Over exaggerated and embellished. Yes. Great lesson. Also, yes.
j.k simmons won an oscar for this role, he was so perfectly scary
Damn I actually stuck around for the post reaction commentary, Im glad you liked it bro it definitely resonates with most people on a certain level, yet differently for everyone that shit fye
Also whats that at the end? Whats endgame I thought yall watched that already
36:59 “do I look like a double fucking rainbow to you”
Wow! Loved that he loved it that much
Vince definitely had a hardass coach at one point in life lmao
18:10 that moment will live in my head rent free lol
So intense, so concentrated. Amazing film.
Wish I could give it two thumbs up. This is why I watch these reaction videos. Thank you. Experiencing this masterpiece again through your eyes was awesome.
Top 10 for me as well! No other movie captures the passion one can have for a hobby and making it in the world quite like this movie
2:44 some of the dirtiest restrooms I’ve ever seen are at movie theaters😩
It's top 10 worthy, without a doubt. W take. I'm a drummer; I never went through anything like this. I did spend some nights on living room floors, though.
Yeah, this movie is something else since I seen it it's been a favorite. It gets everyone at the end a really good movie.💯 Awesome show there, Vince and Shoshanna. Keep up the terrific work. Also, Vince it got me at the end like that as well. Saw this one in the theater I tell yall something whole held their breath at the end then everyone clapped it's a good movie. Yall take care now💯
17:16 The dad is that genuinely good professor from stranger things
“I think you need to have a lot of rhythm” may be the most “no shit Sherlock” thing I’ve ever heard 😂
Top 10 for my list for sure also Vince. I know this is a late reaction but hey this just made my night. Y’all be safe god bless
This movie is really good; the script is so tight. I used to play the flute in high school marching band, but I never really wanted to be great at it; I just liked playing an instrument and the music. This movie showed me something I'm familiar with, but not.

everything sweet is good with plain salty popcorn

Very glad that you loved the movie, would have been disappointed if you didn't :D
Miles Teller already knew how to play drums and J K Simmons studied being a conductor befor he became an actor
Greatness always has a price.
His dad is “Dr Sam Owens” in Stranger Things which I didn’t realize until watching w you guys.
my man gets it!
I felt the EXACT same way as Vince. Rated it a 10 MASTERPIECE on ScreenClub. I can relate about the mindset of feeling like you can only be great if you are willing to sacrifice things and push yourself. Obviously there is a limit and sometimes its too far for people.
It's no surprise that Kobe loved this movie, too.
It’s up there at the top of my list too.
i also love this movie one of my favorite miles teller interpretaions
You gotta watch black swan starring Natalie Portman next.
One of the few movies that have made me hated a character as much as I hate fletcher. I love this movie but I think people can become the greatest without going through physical or emotional pain. Just my take! haha but this movie is def in my top 20 easy!
30:40 sick save brother . Professional boyfriend right here lmao
this movie is just incredible. simple as that.
This is one of my favorite movies no doubt
I guess I saw the ending way different than y'all did (not saying you two are wrong on your opinion). To me, the ending of this story is really sad, because Fletcher's teachings by using heavy abuse worked. His dad knows that he has lost his son at the end of the movie and Andrew is most likely going to die early in his life like Sean Casey (PTSD from Fletcher). Andrew thinks he is getting back at Fletcher by one-upping him at the end, but Fletcher is the one in control, he won.
love this film and loved your reaction
I was Vince after I first saw this 😂 Absolute masterpiece
The fact that people think it’s a happy ending is interesting.
that instrument isn't a cello, it's a double bass
I love you guys!!
I truly believe Andrew did what he did in the end despite his father never really supporting him the way he needed him to for him to be great. His dad was the exact opposite of Fletcher and was completely okay with Andrew being "normal" and not pursuing his passions or giving it his all. Fletcher is way too far on the other side but I think Andrew always wanted someone to push him
11:46 they may be a thing but we have to learn to deal with it😂
30:25 that was precious
Favorite movie of all time
This movie is so good
the music and the passion for it is beautiful, but the physical and emotional trauma makes this movie a psychological horror and a tragedy for me personally. Still one of my favorite movies, and it was a shame it lost the Oscars Best Picture to Birdman even though that's a great movie too.
You guys should react to Inglorious Bastards. I'd love to see Shoshana's reaction
Holy! The end gave me xhills
I think you really should watch the move Warrior with Tom Hardy. Think you will love it 😀
that movie blows me away every time I watch it
Why do I only get recommended your vids after 3 or 4 days of them being out
There's gonna be a 6th Scary movie coming next year with the Wayans brother coming back!!!
There's so many things I could say about this movie and how great it is and how great this reaction was but one big thing that really stood out to me is how shoshana was so happy that it made it into Vince's top 10 on how much he liked it
That just seemed so beautiful and like such a genuine lovely reaction
Fact: Miles Teller is a self-taught Drummer in real life, plus he actually had to practice hard to do the solo in this movie
