Whiplash | Neiman's first Fletcher Class | Reaction Mashup


3:06 homegirl really said this was horrific & she might "breakdown", really? Thats how low the bar is for stress these days? jfc, he was being pressed, he wasn't in danger.

the assault was too much, so was the chair-- but some of the ladies strongest reactions was to Fletch' words, not even the physical lashings.

Most ladies specifically just don't know what it takes to mold greatness through blisters; then wonder why most of the great one's in world history that shed their own blood to be a master or took seemingly unnecessary risks that resulted in today's advancements---- were fellas. hell a lot of dudes dont get it.

I get where they're all coming from on the assault point, but you can't treat grownass adults like 3rd graders and expect a Master to come from that environment. It won't happen. The entire point of this method is to filter the real ones from the weaklinks, all of this in this scene was a mind game.

You have to be pushed & bent sometimes to break free of your limits- ideally thats the point of Military Basic Training, at least back when it was more raw. Sometimes the methods vary, it doesn't always have to be this tense or violating, but sometimes it does, depends on the teacher.

It's why in the modern age, we're not getting actual geniuses, new legends or people worth reading about in history books anymore; we read about the one's that existed already that didn't live in the era we do.

Can't coddle generations & expect a bar to raised. Sometimes to mold greatness, you have to break down what exists in a person, that was actually part of the point of the movie.

Teach wasn't in the right, but he had a point. Whiplash, the movie, was the point.


"I can't handle this", quote of a generation. And it's why mediocrity is the new exceptional.
