Whiplash - Give A Retard A Calculator Scene

This is how Jeff bezos act when Amazon workers ask for a bathroom break

He literally risked the entire band’s performance, and his reputation with it, to try earth out the next great player. He took the folder and wanted to see the kid play it by memory under pressure with no guilt. Brutal.

The transition from giving the little girl a high-five to “LISTEN UP C——KSUCKERS” was gold

Fletcher really is the embodiment of every perfectionist nightmare music teacher/conductor I've ever seen or heard of. Thank fuck I never had to go through that

The line "get the fuck out of my sight before I demolish you" is one of my favorites

JK Simmons just being yoked out of his mind in his mid 60s absolute legend

I gave the folder to Neiman..." Fletcher doesn't even bat an eye at Andrew after hearing that - it's still Tanners fault - he continues to stare at Tanner. Amazing little detail.

I know he's supposed to be unsettling, but the calculator line gets me every time.

My batshit-crazy instructor just told me to never leave the folder laying around. It's probably a good idea to give it to my competitor.

I love how throughout the movie, you see them playing these fun songs, but their expressions are so dead and/or tense.

One thing I enjoyed about this movie is you actually see what conductors do for a living - as in, arranging the entire piece of music, recruiting the right musicians, and then training them to play it. Standing on stage, waving the baton, is just the end point. I thought that was the entire job😂

The most disturbing part of this whole movie in my opinion is seeing Fletcher talking to that little girl about joining his band when she's older. Knowing what Fletcher's like behind closed doors and how his abusive and mentally destructive behaviour caused one of his past students to commit suicide, and eventually Andrew's in the future, it's disgusting to put that dream into her head when you know what he could put her through when she grows up and plays for him. I like to think Fletcher is thinking at that point, "Once you're old enough, I'm gonna javelin throw a fucking clarinet at your head to push you beyond your limits".

After a nervous breakdown, the drummer ended up becoming a mass weapons manufacturer for the US government

The amount of anxiety each and every clip of this movie gives me...

Every time he starts yelling I feel an urge to go get him pictures of Spider-Man…

“I swear to fucking god, I will stop being so polite- get the FUCK out of my sight before I demolish you.”

"You're a dumb fuck! A dumb fuck!" Hahaha, gotta give him credit, the delivery was great.

"Where were you? Looking for a folder? You're fired!" "Sir. The Conservatory Competition." "Oh, right. You're unfired. I need ya. Come here!"

An ensemble director losing his shit over abandoned music folders is probably the most accurate thing about this movie 😂

I had a knot in my stomach through this whole movie. I found it incredibly hard to finish
