Daily Dialogue — December 16, 2017

Fletcher: I don’t know if you heard, I’m not at Shaffer anymore.
Andrew: Yeah, I did hear that. Did you quit?
Fletcher: Not exactly. Some parents got a kid from Sean Casey’s year I think to say some things about me, although why anybody would have anything other than peaches and cream to say about me is a mystery.

— Whiplash (2014), written by Damien Chazelle

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Lie.

Trivia: The film was shot, edited, and submitted into Sundance in ten weeks.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Here is a different kind of lie in that Andrew (Miles Teller) acts like he doesn’t know who spoke out about Fletcher’s behavior (J.K. Simmons) — when in fact, he himself was the one who got Fletcher fired.
