Music, of all the arts, stands in a special region, unlit by any star but its own, and utterly without meaning. . . without meaning, that is, except its own, a meaning in musical terms, not in terms of words, which inhabit an altogether different mental climate. . . If it could be told in words, then why would Chopin have found it necessary to tell it through notes in the first place?
- Leonard Bernstein
Leonard Bernstein at Frédéric Chopin's piano in Warsaw, Poland, 1959.

When the New York Post declared this year's Best Actor race 'Lackluster' they weren't kidding. We basically have the Gay Mafia, competing against itself, and while they practically run both actors, it's obvious the Satanic cult of Scientology and its many, many Israeli members want to honor a monster, Oppenheimer, because of his Solar Cult stance about a one world government. That is what people don't get.

As usual, they can't help but casually promote their other members by use of snarky memes. Oh, come on. Don't tell me no one guessed about Cate Blanchett. Don't forget the rule in Hollywood. They don't like straight actors to play gay roles. But the reverse is just fine.
Tumblr media
I'd rather see Paul Giamatti or Zac Efron get the award. I KNOW Giamatti is a strong actor, often overlooked and unproblematic as hell. I like him even more, now, since finding out, today that Sideways remains one of his favorite projects, as is mine. I still watch that movie, every two years, just so I can lmao, again.
Tumblr media
Zac Efron has actually endured and survived physical abuse in the film industry. The fact that he is still going is truly more courageous than either of the top queens, currently scratching each other's eyes out over Oscar gold.

what are your guys's favorite recordings of mahler symphony no. 2?
for a while mine's been one with claudio abbado and the 2003 Lucerne Festival Orchestra, but I just listened to bernstein and the NY phil in 1987 (with christina ludwig and barbara hendricks) and i must say i love the biting sharpness of the high brass that is missing from abbado's recording. additionally, the softs are more mellow and the louds are more attention-grabbing. i feel like some sections are drowned out a bit in the abbado recording; when i listened to the 1987 bernstein for the first time, i heard prominent parts of the piece i had never heard before in abbado's version.
imo simon rattle with BPO was a bit disappointing. it lagged quite a bit in some parts and overall was just kind of...boring? sluggish? not really quite sure how to word it.
im also looking forward to listening to jurowski with the LPO.
what are your thoughts?

I think that if I were required to spend the rest of my life on a desert island, and to listen to or play the music of any one composer during all that time, that composer would almost certainly be Bach.
- Glenn Gould
Glenn Gould plays Bach's Keyboard Concerto in D Minor. In 1960.
Glenn Gould made his television debut on CBS's Ford Presents "The Creative Performer" with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic.

so uh I just finished Maestro and I gotta say I have some Thoughts.
Positive stuff first:
for a guy who's not a professional conductor? Amazing!
Phenomenal soundtrack
incredibly well produced
eerily good acting (particularly his portrayal of gross sweaty old Bernstein who mumbles a LOT)
the arty scenes made me excited and also quite scared about my future lol
touching moments, had me crying, generally a good movie
However.
There were a couple of things that made me angry (to varying degrees):
why is a film about a gay jewish guy written by, directed by, and starring a straight christian guy?
cuz you can tell
a lot
I get that the choice to centre the story around him and his wife was A Choice
and at times it was incredibly beautiful!
but sometimes. No. It felt very.... male gaze-y
like a.... not fetishized and not quite romanticised, but definitely not.... authentic portrayal of a queer guy married to a woman
I get its complex and stuff but like.,,,,,, it just annoyed me ok????
plus antisemitism was kind of touched on and then just..... dropped????
and we never really got any development of his male partners, they were just,,,, there?????
It felt like the movie couldnt pick one thing to focus on
If it's about him and his wife, dont call it Maestro. If its about the music, don't put so much family drama in!
I get that its a well rounded, complicated story, but you just can't show EVERYTHING in one movie
even all of the times you see him conducting (which good on him for learning) felt like they just put that in there to call it Maestro
arguably they were my favourite scenes in the movie
but they have virtually no relevance to the 'plot'!
ESPECIALLY THE MAHLER BIT
like that is peak, iconic Lenny so of course they HAD to have it in the movie, but they could have tied it in a little more????
Idk it just left me kind of unsatisfied
I can definitely see why everyone's saying they just make these films for the nominations
big name cast and crew (Bradley Cooper, Scorsese, Spielberg, Carey Mulligan, etc etc)
and it felt very hollywood
if there was one word I would have to pick to describe this movie, it would be stylised.
Not necessarily a bad thing - it worked for most of the movie and created some beautiful moments. But it did feel a bit like a caricature of the complexity of it.
however stylised, Maestro was still incredibly beautiful and emotional and worth watching so go watch it and lmk what you think because I want to here other opinions too lol. Hope I'm not the only one.
