The narrative delves into the extremes of mentorship and the pursuit of excellence in a highly competitive environment.

TRIVIA SAMPLES:

"During intense practice scenes, director Damien Chazelle wouldn't call for a "cut," forcing Miles Teller to keep drumming until he was physically exhausted."

"Damien Chazelle, the film's director and writer, struggled to get funding for Whiplash, so he turned it into a short film. The short was well-received and helped him secure funding for the feature-length version."

"In the slapping scene, J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller filmed several takes where the slap was mimed. However, for the final take, they decided to go for a real slap, which made it into the film."

"All of Andrew's drumming scenes were performed by Miles Teller, though a visual double was used in some shots. Approximately 40% of Teller's drumming was included in the film's soundtrack."
