Great movie, I think I need a second watch before I give it any more praise as it feels like it calls for deeper introspection but just based off first watch I’m absolutely in awe of Cate Blanchett and the way this movie is shot.
Weird experience watching this. Cate really was incredible . I’ve been thinking a lot about it since watching it last night. Might rewatch it in theaters not sure
ending spoiler
In the opening interview scene she talks about how the most important part of conducting for her is controlling when the orchestra starts playing and time in general, in the closing scene at the Asian cosplay orchestra she's given a pair of headphones before the performance begins that I'm guessing has a metronome playing so she can conduct to the beat of the video playing behind them basically losing the thing about being a conductor she loves most
Never go full Tar! Great movie but the middle part felt like I wasn’t watching a movie but more of an episode of house of cards
Saw this on Reddit
A favorite detail of mine from a musician's perspective -
In the final scene with the Monster Hunter: World concert, she is given headphones. Those headphones would play her a metronome or a "click track," basically a computerized and predetermined tempo map that allows the orchestra to synchronize with the videos on the screen behind the orchestra.
She tells everyone in the first interview scene that the thing that she views as her ultimate source of power as a conductor is her power to manipulate time through tempo.
So on top of her perceived humiliation of conducting a concert like this, by giving her that click track, she is also completely stripped of her power as a conductor to put her own spin or take on the music - even the most basic power to stop and start the piece - and is instead totally beholden to the headphones and the metronome.
It's an awesome way to end the movie.
What did you guys think of her lying about getting beat up?
As a classical musician I have to say it perfectly captured the constant neurosis you wake up and go to sleep with trying to function in that world. Def go see it if you can
very interesting movie. hands down the best approach to making a movie about cancel culture i've seen
i really like how little the movie stressed about explaining or wrapping certain stuff up
