What does /alpha/ think of Whiplash? It's a movie about a drummer who wants to become one of the greatest. I saw the trailer on a TV with the sound turned down before work today and became fascinated when I saw the conductor throw something at the student and start yelling, and that the drummer was playing drums while he was bleeding. I have some thoughts about what I've seen so far but I'd like to put it out for your comments first.

This looks interesting, I'll have to check it out. I'm not a big movie watcher but I've always like that actor (J.K Simmons)

It's up for an Academy Award - best picture.
http://oscar.go.com/nominees/best-picture/whiplashWhen I saw the trailer, I thought it would be some obscure little film that would be well-liked by those who saw it, and might spread to select people (like music students) at a steady pace over time. Now it looks like it will be pretty commonly-known. I haven't met anyone who's mentioned it by themselves, though.
