Whiplash

2014, directed by Damien Chazelle

I remember that I was a little worried about showing this film. Most of my movie selections were family-friendly and relatively upbeat. This was the first R-rated movie I screened for The Rainier Club, which I why I added some warnings to the end of the intro. Once again, Derek is serving as cameraman, and once again, I’m using my iPhone microphone to record the sound (trying not to have too much wind on the track). As far as I know, people enjoyed the film. I enjoyed getting to show a clip of the infamous Oscars “wrong envelope” debacle.
