Whiplash x The Social Network // The breakup conversation between the self-righteous overachiever and the unappreciated girlfriend.

Arguably my favorite scene from the film. The psychological warfare between Andrew Neiman and Terence Fletcher in this scene demonstrates in the most critical way just how far Fletcher will go to push his students beyond what’s expected of them to absolute perfection and just how determined Andrew is to becoming one of the greatest drummers alive.

Then look at the closing scene where Amy gives a very different facial expression and movement compared with what she gives in the opening scene. She gives her husband a haunting smile, which means that she has changed into a kind of psychotic woman who is now no longer under her husband’s control, in fact she is the one who’s controlling. She might be a threat for her husband now, and that happens because of her husband himself, because of what he did and has done to his wife, because he didn’t treat his wife well. In other words, he has created himself a villainous wife.
