  Haha. Dudes got so carried away way by her accurate conducting performance that they started critisizing her conducting choices. Now that’s a convincing performance.

  to be fair, the offstage trumpet being a controversial choice was a plot point in the film! its subtle but meant to hint at the conductor’s arrogance

  Learning that Mahler specifically calls for off-stage trumpet in other pieces but not this one actually makes total sense for her character. Lydia Tár absolutely has the hubris necessary to change the piece like that 😂

  I can’t get over the fact that the biggest hint they’re a real orchestra is how the brass section looks

  Friend of a friend played in the orchestra and cheekily remarked, “she conducts better than some of the ‘real’ conductors we work with…”

  This feels like a perfect example of how (like Kirsten Dunst recently said) &quot;method acting is something only men can afford to do&quot;. Like, to have space for the pretentiousness of it. And the fact that Cate&apos;s performance that stood on its own merit and didn&apos;t have a deluge of self-aggrandizing promotions vs. Cooper&apos;s nonsense and saying he spent &apos;7 years learning to conduct&apos; was actually the more accurate of the two... <b>chef&apos;s kiss</b>

  “whenever you don’t know what you’re meant to be doing but you wanna look professional you just start marking things” DIDNT ASK TO BE CALLED OUT ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON

  I thought Galadriel was badass before, but now she&apos;s even more badass.

  It seems to me that when they prepare for their conducting scenes, Bradly Copper just watched a bunch of Bernstein&apos;s conducting videos and copied his movements and facial expressions, and Cate Blanchett actually took conducting lessons with a pro.

  The concertmaster is the only orchestra musician there who’s not an actual orchestra musician. Everyone else is from Dresden Philharmonic. There’s a supporting cellist character who’s an actual cellist. I’m far more impressed how well these musicians act than how well Kate Blanchett conducts.<br><br>Btw, 2set should do a review of the whole movie. It covers some interesting issues (conductor toxicity and abuse). There are also some classical inside jokes that I don’t think a lot of commentators got.
