Fantasy is missing in the Genres!
Was expecting a more realistic movie, the plot was just too convenient for Cruise.
Great movie. I'm not sure how fictionalized it was but it was touching and inspiring, especially how consistently calm John was throughout the movie. He yelled once, that's it.
i just watched this movie for the second time and it's still fantastic
Whiplash was so damn intense. The movie sounds fantastic; the music, the sound mixing, it's all really, really well-done. The acting was all really good and J.K. Simmons' performance in particular is insane(ly good), definitely a contender for Best Supporting Actor. Occasionally he reminded me of a conductor at my high school who got pretty mad at times, but fortunately not quite as much. The editing was nicely done as well, some of the cuts were timed with the music being played which worked really well and made musical performances interesting to watch. The plot's pretty simple but the story manages to not be very predictable and it's certainly very energetic. The climax was incredible. Second best movie of the year so far.
You're funny. Balls don't have names
People have to realize what they're about to watch before they go into it. The actors are playing exaggerated versions of themselves. It's not meant to be Academy Award winning gold. It's supposed to be ridiculous fun. And it is. I mean, there's a giant ceramic penis. What do you expect? I laughed so much. You just can't take a movie like this seriously. It's purely for stupid laughs.
Sorry but it was really a waste of time... I would like to give support to Turkish cinema, however, I was upset that there was no scene that makes you laugh even if you force yourself to do so. I must also say that it has good ideas helps you think about social problems, but whatever the film genre is, it must always be catchy. You come across with the so much repeated lines and that's why I found it so boring
This is documentary or movie not about the bees, not about the honey, not even about the main character, but about life itself. An extraordinary movie which is representing every single aspect of somebody's or our everyday lives. So touching, so pure, also sad, but on the other hand so real, that makes you think deeply about your existence. Really touched my mind and soul.
