It's sad that when I watched Whiplash last year in Robinson's Galleria, we were only a few people in the theater, because it's a beautiful, a bit brutal, movie about artists, and the tough process they go through to achieve perfection - and to entertain people like us - who are not entertainers. And I feared that I had teachers as tough as the guy JK Simmons play in the movie - but they do shape you into the perfect person you can ever be - at least in the craft you chose.
By the way, JK gave such a beautiful acceptance speech! Call your parents, kids!
