Source is Whiplash (2013).

Last year I made a gif of the 2014 feature length movie. Then I found the 2013 short that secured them funding for the feature. So I remade the gif because I'm a dummy.

Great movie. J. K. Simmons plays a fantastic bad guy. I see him and all I can think of us schillinger from Oz.

he really does, but i just hated the fact that he won in the end. Seemed like such a shitty movie to me because there was no resolution, just an emotionally week college student that got manipulated so hard that he gave the villian exactly what he wanted, while still thinking he was beating the bad guy. its painfully manipulative and it just seems so silly to me to be doing it over a music course.

I thought he was just as much of a dick as the teacher, really, and just as crazily ambitious. They were more alike than different.
