English Summary:

Whiplash is a 2014 American drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle. It depicts the relationship between an ambitious jazz drummer (Miles Teller) and an abusive bandleader (J. K. Simmons) at the fictional Shaffer Conservatory. Paul Reiser and Melissa Benoist co-star.

Andrew Neiman is a first-year student at the prestigious Shaffer Conservatory in New York City. He has been playing drums from a young age, and he aspires to become a world-class drummer like Buddy Rich. Conductor Terence Fletcher invites him into his Studio Band as the alternate for core drummer Carl Tanner. However, Andrew quickly discovers that Fletcher is strict, ruthless, and abusive against his students. When the band rehearses the Hank Levy piece "Whiplash" and Andrew struggles to keep the tempo, Fletcher hurls a chair at him, slaps him, and berates him to tears in front of the ensemble.

In a jazz competition, after their first set, Andrew misplaces Tanner's sheet music. When called for their second set, Tanner cannot play without his sheets, but Andrew claims he can perform "Whiplash" from memory. After a successful performance, Fletcher promotes Andrew to core drummer for his Studio Band, but he also recruits Ryan Connolly, the core drummer from a lower-level ensemble within the conservatory. Andrew believes Connolly is a less talented drummer than he and is infuriated when Fletcher promotes Connolly to core. Determined to impress Fletcher, Andrew practices until his hands bleed and breaks up with his girlfriend, Nicole, to focus on his musical ambitions. After a five-hour session with Tanner and Connolly for the core spot, in which Fletcher hurls chairs and screams at him, Andrew finally earns back the core spot.

Hungarian Summary:

Andrew híres akar lenni. New York, tehát az Egyesült Államok, tehát az egész világ egyik leghíresebb zeneiskolájába, a Shaffer Konzervatóriumba jár, dobolni tanul, rengeteget gyakorol, és mindenre képes volna a siker érdekében. Legalább is, azt hiszi. De találkozik egy tanárral, aki még nála is elszántabb. Ő abban hisz, hogy a tehetséget mindenáron fel kell szabadítani, és ami bujkál, azt ki kell préselni a tanulókból. Akkor is, ha kínlódnak, ha sírnak vagy belehalnak. A kezdő zenész és a sokat látott veterán egymásnak feszül. A tanár felveszi a kezdő dobost a zenekarába, de az első örömöt nagyon sok keserűség követi. És egyikük sem adja fel könnyen, amit elkezdett. Mindketten tartják a ritmust...
