Last night was one of the most exhilarating experiences Ive ever had in a movie theatre. The less you know the better, but Ill say this: It has been 24 hours, and I am still haunted by what I saw last night; a perfect combination of acting, editing, and music that amounts to a tension unlike anything I have seen at the movies in years. Just before the final climax, one character says to another, I know it was you, and it carries the same dramatic weight as it did when Michael Corleone said the same line to Fredo in The Godfather: Part II. From the first shot to last, I was enamored. What happens at the end of this movie will stay with me for years. Whiplash is the reason I love movies, and this is the best one of 2014 by a mile: youtube/watch?v=SvOksqh1Td0
