More Whiplash talk. I'm sorry I really like this film. I'm not sorry. This time context.
Historical
Whiplash was released on the 16th January 2014. Also on the same day the first session of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon opened. There is literally nothing that connects these two events.
Social
It's pretty easy to compare Whiplash to our current society. People are mostly out for themselves. Trying to make it big. And unfortunately, for the most part, they don't care who they hurt. That's Andrew. That's how he is. He wants to be the best and he brings people into his life and he doesn't care how much he hurts them. Andrew Neiman is basically the human embodiment of todays society. A cold, success driven person who just doesn't care what happens to those around him.
Cultural
Culturally speaking there isn't much to talk about here. What I will talk about is how in todays culture things like music can take over peoples lives. Not just making it but listening to it. Andrews love for drumming and his drive to be the best come from being obsessed with the music of people like Charlie Parker. It took over his life in two different ways.
