JK Simmons is such a humble journeymen actor. Two days after winning the Oscar for this he was back in the recording booth being the voice of the Yellow m&m, the longest running role of his career.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Wait. He’s ALSO the yellow M&M???

[@muppetsstoogesfan1]

@@funnylilgalreacts Yeah! He and Billy West have been Yellow and Red for like 27 yrs!

[@fusionaddict]

@@funnylilgalreactsBilly West tells a great story. His wife had been watching Oz on HBO, which is an extremely violent prison drama that JK Simmons had a starring role on as a white supremacist sex offender & murderer. Billy’s wife asked him if he’d watched it, and Billy said he hadn’t. “Oh, you have to watch it. You know, I think one of the actors is an actual killer. He is tapping into something very dark and evil.” So they watch an episode together, and Billy’s wife goes, “That’s him! That’s the guy!” Billy laughs, and his wife asks him why he’s laughing. “I know that guy!” “You **know** him?!?” “Yeah, he’s the Yellow M&M!”

The director has said that Andrew did in fact end up like Charlie Parker, the great Jazz musician Fletcher keeps alluding to: a great musician, dead in a gutter at 30 with heroin in his veins. Which makes his dad's look of horror at the end even more haunting--even if he doesn't know it exactly, he can fully see his son's future laid out in front of him.

[@applejayz1987]

While he indeed succeeded in becoming the greatest drummer, he sadly didnt win, Fletcher won in the end

[@Literallyjustmint]

[@jxstified7558]

@@Literallyjustmint you can have a best drummer in each genre maybe not the best drummer in all of music.

[@lordsafro]

@@applejayz1987 They both won. Fletcher wanted a Charlie Parker, and Andrew wanted to BE a Charlie Parker.

[@lordsafro]

And to be more accurate, he doesn’t say that he factually ends up like Charlie Parker, he says that he has a idea of him ending up like Charlie Parker, among a couple of other things that he says he probably would’ve/could’ve put in the last moments of the movie. He never sets in stone the actual ending of Andrew, just floats around on possibilities, which is good, because not all masters dedicated to their crafts end up exactly like Charlie Parker, so to insinuate that they all do would’ve been a little…ugh yk? Leaves the ending much more open to interpretation, and ultimately makes the movie better.

[@jordanwright1061]

It’s a horrible situation when the protagonist winning means the antagonist wins too. A masterful study of the pursuit of greatness and its steep cost. Every time I watch this movie I feel sick during the bar talk scene. I keep wanting Andrew to succeed ‘in spite of’, not ‘because of’.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Yeah, I hate the idea that it’s still Fletcher that was his drive rather than his desire to be good and proof Fletcher wrong

[@Evenstar-]

@@funnylilgalreacts Not sure. Maybe fletcher wasn't precisely wrong, though his methods were

[@mcgfn]

@@Evenstar-well yeah he wasn't wrong at all, but he was _wrong_

[@shouryacool]

In a way he did win in spite of Fletcher. Fletcher's Hail Mary plan was to challenge his best student expecting him to return next year like Charlie Parker (hinted throughout the movie). To his surprise Andrew didn't stop playing like a wind up Monkey and began to play after receiving the last Whiplash. Yet in a way Fletcher won still he finally pushed his best student to greatness better than he expected. I have a love and hate relationship with this movie

[@Evenstar-]

Agreed, but this also makes the movie be an ingenious move

JK Simmons really knew how to draw out the tension in this movie. I love his works where he plays over-the-top angry for comical effect, but he plays the nuances of emotion like a skilled instrumentalist.

[@MegaForrestgump]

JK Simmons is such a great actor. He makes you hate him and he makes you love him. His character in The Accountant was incredible. That tissue flick and the cat screeching was hilarious, btw.

[@Driolo95]

I played drums for over 10 years as a kid in high school/college. The blisters, suffering and frustration are the most accurate part of this movie, I still have scars on my hands as a 29 year old. Big ups to El Estepario Siberiano for bringing back my passion. Rock on dudes 🤘

[@alihijazi4451]

El estepario is a beast! 🤘🏻

[@mrtveye6682]

I can confirm. Never played in a big-band or jazz in general, only in some rock and punk bands, but I had my fair share of blood and blisters - and the frustration when you just can't nail THAT part. But I guess the style doesn't matter that much.

[@jaives]

Miles Teller plays the drums but had to adjust to a more classical jazz style. JK Simmons meanwhile has a BA in Music.

[@MeatOnWheels]

Really enjoyed your reaction. J.K.Simmons pulled no punches and that oscar was deserved. One of those few performances that can be quite challenging to forget.

[@bcham1995]

this movie asks: what is the price of artistic greatness? and its answer: abuse, obsession, self harm, and addiction. the ending is tragic and bleak: andrew will forever be chasing the high of fletcher's approval.

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Except that: That is a complete lie, at best: an amoral, misconstrued fabrication of what "makes" or "construes" "artistic greatness." The flawed instructor, with his inherent, overarching power, will, ALWAYS, create: damaged, inept, undeserving, reimaginations of him-or herself. The damage is passed down, not in, simply, the brutality upon others, but on the ideological beliefs & practices which are demonstrated as "the necessary" traits, beliefs, practices (although: this is entirely inept, delusional and incorrect.). Because: the possession of power corrupts ...and those who are corrupt and who are easily corruptible, are attracted to power (nay: LUST, unremittingly, for it!). ...in fact: there is little-to-nothing about "drive" or "passion" or "perfectionism" in this film (or the constructs in it); the facts are: abstruse self-importance, inability to accept: any challenge to one's-own "superiority" or delusional self-importance; utter egotism are the central themes (and characters) of this missive.

[@havok6280]

It amazes me how many people don't get the ending of this movie. Fletcher won. Everything Fletcher did was justified. All the abuse was worth it because it made Andrew great. That's a tragedy, not a triumph.

I believe J.K. Simmons studied music in college and was thinking of being a conductor. So the director was gonna have a double to do the movements of the conductor at first for J.K. Simmons until he found that out about him.

[@asmrhead1560]

A professional jazz drummer made a great point, he said this story was like how a teenager would relate a story of a relationship breakup. The plot more or less tracks but the emotions get amped up to ridiculous melodrama levels. Being in an elite music academy as a student can *feel* like what happens with Andrew in the story even if that's not actually what happens.

[@adamyoung6797]

This is how middle school band felt for me. My instructor was only kind of a dick, but my extreme anxiety and lack of practice made it suck. Watching this movie made me feel twelve years old again in a bad way. By the time I realized I didn’t want to play trumpet, my father had already bought it, and we were poor. I felt rather trapped. One day I messed up playing solo in front of the whole band, cried, and transferred out to a drawing class.

[@JoeAugustAcoustic]

My d1 head coach was the sweetest, most personable and friendly person you'd ever meet during recruitment. He kept up that act for over a year. I went in as a freshman on a full scholarship and one of their top recruits, so I thought I was sitting pretty. Our first conditioning session in the fall, he ran us until even the vets and upperclassmen were throwing up. I got to a point where I felt like I was going to pass out, it was bad. I went over to coach and told him I didn't feel good, was very dizzy. He didn't take his eyes off the line. He just said "you can go back in line and keep running, or you can go the fuck home and never come back". That sudden shift in demeanor was eye opening, to say the least. He was my Fletcher, but worse. A diabolical sociopath with a hair trigger for a temper. As much as he tried to kill us physically (didn't mind that part), it was the psychological warfare that was truly twisted. Most people in the program quit, but I didn't come that far to let that prick take it from me. This was 25 years ago. He's still coaching today. I doubt he still gets away with all the shit he did to us then, but I'm sure he still has his ways. So yeah, this movie brings back a lot of memories lol.

There are some movies that are so good, but also so harrowing that I'm like, "I'm very glad I watched that, but never again." Requiem for a Dream is the first one I remember, but this one quickly went on that list for me.

[@benmiller7690]

Such an amazing film 👌

[@Disrupt_01]

I think a good analogy for this movie is listening to athletes who have reached that all time great status. When I hear Tom Brady or Michael Jordan talk about how they push themselves to a limit that would break every other person, or how they need motivation through any type of adversity I can understand why reaching that fame and level is worth it for some people. Even in the movie with Andrew breaking up with his girlfriend and giving her that reason makes sense to me. You see those athletes say how its impossible to balance it, if you want to get to that level then you cant let anything interfere.

[@deadman79123]

The first time I saw this I was just flipping through channels. Caught it about 10 or 15 minutes in. I planned on using it as background noise as I worked on my computer because I heard jazz music.

Love this film. I had a step father who was like Fletcher. His whole justification for the abuse was that he was "disciplining me", which I generally agree with, but not the way he did it. Finally got away from him after about 5 or 6 years, and life isn't all that bad. Got a decent career and have maintained an intense level of dedication to weight lifting ;)

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

My brother and I are both jazz musicians, though he took it much more seriously than I did and went to Julliard for two years. He came out an outstanding guitarist but HATED the experience because he met a lot of teachers like Fletcher and a lot of students completely willing to throw anyone and everyone under the bus to appease teachers like that.

For most of us Fletcher is not a real person but an internal voice: Self doubt, hatred, criticism, limiting, we need to confront and overcome if we're brave enough to find our personal level of greatness. Great movie, great acting, great everything not like some recent "best picture" winners.

25:55 no, he actually has something to pursue. I can relate to him, and I've learnt it the hard way that what he did actually is the right thing to do, which is being blunt and direct if you want that someone to move on and for HIM to move on and focus.

[@stonecoldku4161]

Even though I wasn't a big fan of this movie there are a couple of things that I liked about it. The ending, but also, I like that the solo that Miles Teller's character plays at the end of the movie is the same one he's been working on/practicing since the beginning of the movie. The director of the movie said that Miles Teller did 90% of the drum playing himself. By the way the Charlie Parker becoming "Bird" story isn't exactly accurate. Yes, he did have a solo that he screwed up, but Jones did not throw a cymbal at his head. The cymbal landed at Parker’s feet. It startled him more than it threatened any bodily harm. Witnesses described it as more of a playful gesture than a malicious one; a way of telling Parker that Jones disapproved of his performance, and it was time to stop.

Have you ever seen 2007's "Across The Universe". It's a jukebox musical. All Beatles songs; interpreted by the cast.

[@paulf1461]

There can be no achievement without adversity, there can be no greatness without suffering. We all know the hardest diamonds are shaped with the greatest pressure. I think deep down we all know Fletcher and Andrew are correct. People, talented people, settle all the time. They accept "good enough" and never achieve anything worthy of being remembered. I think the world owes a debt of thanks to the Andrews of the world that bleed for greatness and the Fletchers thats drive them. There is a reason every college basketball fan remembers Bobby Knight and no one gives a shit about the guys who came after.

I feel like there's nothing wrong with not knowing what you ultimately want to do but then I shouldn't be IN college taking classes unless I have the extra money to waste. As in if we are in college, the reason we are there should be because we chose to major in something because we truly wanted to and not "my parents keep telling me I should go to college...now im here and I don't know what I wanna do". I regret taking so long to realize, "oh shit i need to figure this out because I am wasting so much time and scholarships because i was sent to school before i was ready or even cared about school.

Some people complain that the movie isnt a good drumming/jazz movie like how some people present it, but thats not the point. You arent supposed to watch this and end up thinking about how nice jazz and drums actually are. its about the deadly pursuit of perfectionism above all else, and the abusive manipulation by an opportunistic authority, and in the end, Fletcher wins, he got his Bird. Its an uncomfortable movie but so well done on such a crunch. Simmons did a fantastic job too ofc, just a single glare from him here is far scarier than any horror movie ive seen.

[@codyprice2616]

Love this film. Fletcher is one of the best movie villains in film history and what’s unique about this villain is no matter what he wins. Yes, we are all happy that Andrew stands up to Fletcher at the end, but now Fletcher has his Charlie Parker, but if Andrew does not stand up to him Fletcher also wins because now Andrew is not his Charlie Parker and he keeps going after his goal of finding the next Charlie Parker. Fletcher is right in some ways where the most harmful words in the English language are good job, but needs to be with constructive criticism and not abuse because nobody is perfect. Like Adam Sandler says in his NBA Sports drama, Hustle, “Obsession is going to beat talent every time. You got all the talent in the world, but are you obsessed?” To make it professional in anything sports, entertainment, and musical industries you have to have that obsession, but Fletcher is pulling that obsession out of Andrew in the wrong way.

JK Simmons is truly a great actor... and if you want a fantastic Sci Fi angle with him... "COUNTERPART" is brilliant. Simmons is incredible and the story if FASCINATING. You'll love it!!

One of my favorite movies of all time. JK Simmons ate this movie and deserved the hell out of this Oscar! lmao Fun fact, I am also a reaction editor who constantly annoys my clients to watch Whiplash. Your editor must be a fine gentlemen with incredible taste.

One of the most toxic relationships in the history of film. The last word in sado-masochism

Most people liked Fletcher the same as the Sr Drill Instructor in Full Metal Jacket. The entire time these kids just wanted to get the respect from Fletcher and the kid gets it at the very end. I think the character is over the top but I was surprised to find out the filmmakers looked at him as a bad teacher. Especially the way it ended.

The only other movie that left me feeling like that (the same way you felt at the end of this one) was Joker. This movie succeeded in actually making me doubt myself regarding Fletcher’s methods being justified (end justifies the means). Magic of cinema I guess, that it can get you to second guess yourself, even regarding things you considered wrong your entire life. Would I do what Fletcher did to get someone to reach their full potential?, f*ck no. Did it work in this case?… it did. So where is the middle ground?…that’s the question this movie left me with. I still haven’t found the answer.

In marching band in high school, the drum line was always at practice at least an hour before everyone else.

The obsessive pursuit of perfection set against a musical theme. It's a hard but fascinating watch and no one who watches it doesn't have that reaction of anger, disbelieve at the behaviour and fascination right to the end watching two great performances
