WHIPLASH FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)

WHIPLASH FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION) starring Miles Teller is an acclaimed dramatic film that explores the intense world of jazz music and the intricate dynamics between a young drummer and his merciless instructor. The film, directed by Damien Chazelle, has garnered critical acclaim and numerous award nominations, making it a strong candidate for consideration during awards season.

In this gripping narrative, Miles Teller plays the role of Andrew Neiman, an ambitious young jazz drummer who dreams of greatness in the competitive world of music. He enrolls at a prestigious conservatory where he encounters the intimidating and perfection-driven instructor Fletcher, portrayed by J.K. Simmons, whose unconventional teaching methods push students to their limits and often beyond. The film delves deep into the psychological effects of mentorship, the pursuit of excellence, and the sacrifices made for success.

The dramatic tension in WHIPLASH is brought to life through a series of powerful scenes that highlight both the brilliance and cruelty inherent in the pursuit of artistic perfection. The film not only showcases the high stakes of competition in the music world but also raises questions about the cost of ambition and the ramifications of toxic mentorship.

Set against a backdrop of pulsating jazz music, the film features a stellar soundtrack that captures the essence of the genre. The music itself becomes a character in the film, illustrating the passion and dedication of *Andrew Neiman* as he faces daunting challenges. The climactic performances are both exhilarating and heart-wrenching, drawing viewers into the highs and lows of Andrew's journey.

Key Themes and Elements:

The Power of Mentorship: The relationship between student and teacher is central to the film's narrative, showing both the positive and negative aspects of mentorship.

Ambition and Sacrifice: Andrew's relentless pursuit of his dreams leads him to make significant personal sacrifices, echoing the age-old debate of how far one should go for success.

The Nature of Perfection: The film explores the thin line between excellence and obsession, questioning what it truly means to be great.

Jazz as an Art Form: The film pays homage to jazz music, highlighting its complexity and the dedication required to master it.

Through Miles Teller's exceptional performance, viewers witness the transformation of Andrew Neiman from a hopeful musician to a relentlessly driven individual grappling with his own limitations. The emotional depth portrayed in his character resonates strongly with audiences, making WHIPLASH a compelling watch.

As the awards season approaches, WHIPLASH stands out not only for its engaging storyline and expert direction but also for its powerful performances, particularly that of Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons, who delivers a career-defining performance that earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The film has left an indelible mark on both the indie and mainstream film landscapes, ensuring it remains a topic of discussion among critics and audiences alike.

For its exploration of the intricate relationship between aspiration and the often harsh realities of achieving one's goals, WHIPLASH FYC starring Miles Teller deserves recognition and consideration this awards season.

For DVD Player (North American NTSC)

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
