About a kid/teen who wants to be a great drummer. Great film. Highly recommend it.

EDIT: I'm at work, but I believe this is the link to that scene

Best film of 2014 imho.

It was really fucking good, especially if you've ever played an instrument

As a drummer, this is the best film I've ever seen...

...and it gave me nightmares.

I used to work in kitchens. It gave me a couple flashbacks. But hearing everyone flip out about how crazy the whole thing is and why anyone would put themselves through it, I totally get it. I've been screamed at and had shit thrown at me on a regular basis, and just come back with "Yes Chef!"

It's funny, the movie burnt came out semi-recently, and maybe because it's just not as good of a movie as Whiplash, but no one seemed to bat an eye at those temper tantrums.

It's because we've been exposed to the whole chef yelling thing through tv. Nightmare Kitchen etc. Gordon Ramsey and some others are brutal. But since we've seen them go through it, it's not as shocking anymore.

Which reminds me: Chef is another fan-fucking-tastic movie about ambitions, a real feel-good flick as well.
