In the taut new psychological thriller Whiplash, Andrew (Miles Teller) a young drummer, is terrified into excellence by Terence Fletcher (JK Simmons), a teacher he alternately loathes, fears and adores.
The character of Fletcher will surely join the already lengthy list of great movie mentors, which includes everyone from Yoda in the Stars Wars films to Mary Poppins and the blood-curdling Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket.
