Is the movie Whiplash based on a true story?
Is the movie Whiplash based on a true story? As it turns out, while Whiplash isn’t based on a true story, but it is inspired by the experiences of director Damien Chazelle as a drummer. Chazelle himself is a pretty impressive guy. At just 30 years old, his movie is a solid Oscars contender.
Why is Whiplash so highly rated?
Whiplash shares many connections to other classics, in almost all of the major categories that contribute to an outstanding film. The editing is rhythmic, the cinematography is lonely and harsh, the score is like jazz itself; stagnant, yet smooth. The directing is complex, and the writing is brutal and to the point.
Who actually played the drums in the movie Whiplash?
J.K. Simmons stated his character, Fletcher, calling Andrew (Miles Teller) a “self righteous little prick” was the only line he improvised. Although a visual double was used, all of Andrew’s drumming was performed by Miles Teller himself to pre-recorded tracks. About 40% of Teller’s drumming was used in the soundtrack.
Is Whiplash movie worth watching?
‘Whiplash’ has great performances all round. The secondary cast do much with little and Miles Teller more than holds his own in a telling lead performance. This is JK Simmons’ film however, proving that his Oscar win was one of that year’s most deserved wins.
