With Damien Chazelle's Whiplash drumming up a new audience on Netflix during the past year, exploring the intense finale is a great way to celebrate the acclaimed movie's 10th anniversary. The story follows aspiring jazz drummer Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller) and the contentious relationship formed with the demanding, sadistic instructor, Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons).

Whiplash won three Academy Awards in 2015, including Best Achievement in Editing and Sound Mixing. Simmons also won an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. As Chazelle aims to get back into Hollywood's good graces following the notorious flop Babylon with the new screenplay for The Claim, reflecting on Andrew's Whiplash arc should remind viewers of the writer/director's promising career.
