Whiplash (as reviewed by a jazz musician)
Added 2018-11-20 02:04:23 +0000 UTCHey guys,
I spent a while on this one! As you can tell, it's almost 30 minutes long, and required a lot of time editing and shooting and everything. I liked the movie, but jazz culture wasn't really represented super well. Narratively, that was important, I recognize that fact. However, it is the only representation of "elite" jazz culture in popular media, and I thought it was important to at least go over some of the things that it does right, and does wrong!
I'm going to take a break next week, but hopefully this video will tide everybody over in the meantime.
Enjoy!
Adam
