Whiplash is one of my favorite movies in recent years featuring one of my favorite “villains” of all time. It’s a dramatic movie which takes on some important themes, filtered through the style of a thriller which makes it impossible to look away from. What does the movie say about the cost of greatness? Is it worth the price of admission? And what does the ending really mean for Andrew? Give the video a listen and then let me know your thoughts in the comments. 0:00 An Unexpected Thriller and the Arbiter of Greatness 6:45 The Desire for Greatness 10:46 The Cost of Greatness 17:58 The Benefits of Greatness 21:16 Is it Worth It? 30:38 Conclusion Cylinder Seven by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ The Dark Glow of the Mountains by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chomatic3Fantasia - Classical Rousing by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ #whiplash
