Continuing my Oscar's 2015 reviews, J.K Simmons won for a movie I was not aware of. Now I am. I also saw this movie in a preview and needed to see more. Why did J.K win and what's this movie about?
Not having any expectations or understanding of the movie, I can tell that this was going to be a movie about achieving musical greatness the hard way, obviously. Miles Teller's character - Andrew stops at nothing to win over J.K.'s character - Fletcher at being noted as the best drummer Fletcher has ever seen. Andrew has the capability but never receives that confirmation from Fletcher... ever.
I was on my feet for this film. The tension between Andrew and Fletcher is felt almost instantly from the time they meet all throughout the film into the ending sequence. The theme of needing that approval to validate greatness is underscored. I would say, its about how far someone is willing to go on someone's else direction to achieve greatness. Very well done.
A review is defined as a critical evaluation or a retrospective view or survey. The goal of this review is to provide my own bias and thoughts to the many films I have seen over the span of my life and relate it to my experiences. I will try to keep it by review date but it will most likely be pretty random. I feel like I have seen a lot of films and let's see what I remember about them.
