Not Quite my Tempo | Whiplash (2014) | 1080p HD

if I were in this band id just try to picture him from the we are farmers ad.

One of the best scenes in cinema history

Dude the urge to punch him in the face is crazy

Imagine if the Omni man was the instructor

Were you edging or were you gooning?

what's crazy is that the drummer is mostly right, yea he basically is saying 215, not he isn't really rushing or dragging until he starts getting put on the spot. This was just fletcher fucking with him, gaslighting him and breaking him down.

You can tell the teacher works out to back up his behavior because if he did that to the wrong person (not someone in a jazz band😂) he’d get his ass beat

Damn, this guy leaves Ramsey gordon in the dust 😂

Fletcher: Hurl a folding chair across the room. you can hear the chair crumble against the wall as he waits for Neiman's attention.
Neiman: Are you fucking nuts? Place down sticks.
Fletcher: Silently stare as Neiman storms out of the room.

The end.

"Alright gang, Whiplash, A LITTLE UNDER TEMPO"
This entire scene was simply a set up. He felt the need to break him.

No tempo would have satisfied him. That wasn't the point.

Id wonder if the original musicians who worte it created it in this environment.
I know jazz was usually created from a sense of going for the hell of it . This teacher pisses me off. How the fuck are you supposed to play them smooth tunes with this bakd thumb yelling in my ear

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Neiman was actually on tempo at first, but Fletcher stopped him and told him to start all over again so he could test Neiman if he actually knew what he was doing (like what Fletcher did with the Brass player who thought he was out of tune)

My music teacher when I’m 99.999% accurate instead of 99.9999% accurate

In my school he would be the calmest teacher.

Not quite my tempo.

Among the best scenes in film history

The way I would have walked out after he threw the chair. No way in hell would I want to deal with that, I'll find a new dream or a different teacher.

I think this is the closest you can get to perfection in a movie scene. The way he steps forward after every reset just works so well.

It's funny, I would have just lost my shit and sued the fucking geezer. Fuck him.

POV: You search it up

I experienced some sadistic professors in music school but assault is assault. That guy would have gotten a pair of Vic Firths in his eye sockets.

This would have broken me and sent me to my happy place forever

This scene gives me chills every FUCKIN TIME.

At my school a music teacher actually threw a chair at one of the students.. this guy reminds me of him lol

imagine JK simmons as a football coach lmao

Something about this scene I like is how the person in the green shirt looks confused every time Andrew messes up. It's like he was confused every time Andrew supposedly messed up. I don't really know if everything was out of tempo or whatever, but I always interpret it as he was never really messing up but just being tested by Fletcher.

Wow the guy from State Farm really went off the rails

Anyone else have a music teacher like that^
Builds character I'd say, really pushes you to achieve...
I'm addicted to several things and living in my parents basement, but I can play several instruments perfectly on tempo 😁

The destruction in his voice when he says "big boy tempo"

jazz musicians man. and all of that to play infront on 10 people who like this kind of oddities

When I first watched this in 6th grade, I was in band at school and had a really good instructor we all really loved, I was excited for this movie and at first with this scene I was like “oh boy he’s messin up in the 1on1 time with the teacher in front of everyone I know how this goes, hella awkward”. 5 minutes later my face was just like the meme of the kid with his eyes buggin out and his hands on top of his head, shit had me so shook

The saddest part about this is how happy Nieman is when Fletcher calls him Buddy Rich. He looked so proud and then he got a goddamn chair thrown at him.

So are you russian or a dragon?

So are you russian or a dragon?

Schillenger wants prag booty

bruh… somebody tell him to get a Drumeo account and skip the abuse. 😂

My dance teacher always says this to us, “NOT MY TEMPO, rushing or dragging?”
We will miss you jt. You were amazing

What I wondered is why was it the drummer specfically that he gave the most shit too?

Ahh a Viltrumite educating a half-Viltrumite.

Actual footage of Hans Zimmer motivating the band members to give their absolute best so he can go inexplicably hard on the score for a mediocre kids movie:

I think this whole scene was a test by Fletcher, he knew from the start he was going to put Neiman under the microscope regardless if he played to femtosecond precision. It seems he's testing if Neiman has the knowledge behind the practice and probably more important to Fletcher if be a he'll be malleable to Fletcher's increasingly insane demands, because Fletcher knows that this is childsplay compared to what his aim of 'greatness' will require.

Lol the trumpet after like take 10 kills me

That ending is nice man 🤩

I always think about what the other kids in the band must be thinking when they saw him treating Andrew so nicely. They just knew that Andrew REALLY pissed him off and was about to blow any second.
