"Whiplash" is a song from Metallica's first studio album, "Kill 'em All". It bops fam and it's probably one of the most important thrash metal songs ever made.
Person 1: Yo, you got Kill 'em All right?
Person 2: Yeah.
Person 1: So, what's your favourite song there?
Person 2: Well, Whiplash of course.
An eighteen-minute short film that follows the journey of an ambitious music student and an aspiring jazz drummer, capturing their intense relationship.

After watching the short film Whiplash, I was blown away by how it perfectly captured the struggle of an aspiring drummer, and I couldn’t believe it got turned into a full-length feature.
