jhfadkjfg | actually the compilation i first saw it in didn't even have subs so i was sitting there like :) this slaps but i had NO idea what it was about (actually i kept going back to the video and rewatching the clip plus a clip from the hungarian production of romeo et juliette so many times because hey they slap) | when i watched the clip my various reactions ranged from this slaps to I AM TRANSCENDING THIS SLAPS SO MUCH so do w that what u will | yeah it's a lyric it means boobs/chest -3D
ldmaksldjs so u also saw how the scene looks like? bc ... wow its sooooo good and dramatic the whole thing is pure poetic cinema
the german version of a song from romeo et juliette came on shuffle on spotify and it fuckeddd i think it was verona so i really wanna watch that now!! god there are so many musicals i wanna watch bc of random songs i heard i will be spending the holidays doing that
youtube(.)com/watch?v=gBbPN99cp68 btw if you're interested in more shakespeare musicals here's a song from one i know v little about other than that it's based off of a midsummer night's dream(if that even means anything to you lmao) | fun fact the actress playing tatiana(the first singer) also plays lady capulet and elisabeth(which means i may have some trouble seeing her and szilveszter in elisabeth bc when i see them singing witw my brain goes "what are you doing. that's ur aunt" -3D
okay ik i said i was trying not to blow up ur inbox BUT if u wanna go into that last musical(midsummer night's dream) without spoilers then maybe don't click that link actually cause i think it might be,,, the last song -3D
of course it means nothing to me 😭
uhHHHHH WELL... i do hate spoilers so i wont watch it then 😶 thank u for the warning! but omg look at szilveszter in yet anOTHER musical... meaning aNOTHER musical ill have to watch... ur making my life so hard 3d anon...
THATS UR AUNT NOOODLKJSDLKS ok but yeAH WELL thats what happens when ur an iconic actor who gets cast in every role !!!!!!!
btw idk if you've seen it but the 2012 arena tour production of JCS is gonna be on youtube for free for 48 hours starting from good friday(which i think is next week?? honestly tho no idea but it's basically easter weekend as to when it'll be up(for obvious reasons)) | also if you're looking for more angsty gays i've heard the swedish production is gayer than most -3D
yes alw hates me and is giving me no rest.... ill watch it today !! for jesus.
its going to be my second time watching it. last year they put it up too during easter and god i had z e r o hope for it. i thought it would suck and that i would hate it. all i knew about it was "i dont know how to love him" bc of glee and it was used very stupidly on the show so i already had my prejudices dlkasjdlk but it wasnt the musicals fault. its always glees fault. anyways i really enjoyed it ?!?!? its good????? im MAD !!!!!!! not alw trying to catechise me....... i know that if i watch the gayer adaptations is over for me
(3D lbqfm anon) y'know after reading ur post on it i realized i a) subconsciously noticed the de-gaying and that's probably why i didn't like it and b) somehow didn't notice ANY changes despite the fact that I watched the two versions less than a week apart,,, i thought it was just the new cravat (tho i still don't like it. the old one was better) | also,,,, is it too much trouble to ask why u don't like the 3D assassymphonie? guessing smtg to do w the women | also ur opinion on 3D vaec?
where do i start with miss l'assasymphonie.. btw u can watch the video of the two versions side by side here. and my rant got wayyy too long so ill talk about VAEC in another post ldkjasl
tw: self harm/suicide mention just to be safe
im going to start with minor differences that make me prefer the 2010 version but not hate the 2011 one
first of all his dramatic soft gay sappy ass touching his heart when talking about mozarts music i like that a lot :(
then when he sings "killing out of spite everything i create" he metaphorically stabs himself in 2010 but not in 2011
and i love the first version because its a nice and subtle parallel between how mozarts music makes him feel like (lbqfm) vs how his own music affects him (l'assasymphonie) as i pointed out here before. this is on different levels !! the fact that in lbqfm its his inner gay demon stabbing him, representing mozart(s music) and in l'assasymphonie he stabs himself..... bc he is killing what he creates and what he creates is part of himself... so this isnt about him wanting to kill mozart its about him being self destructive... this is crazy this is just one gesture and i can go on and on about it and honestly my rant will only get more insane.
later he grabs the knife at different moments and in different ways and i think the 2010 version is more dramatic and impactful. the editing helps too, it really made me jump, its all done at the right time. but honestly both are valid to me; i feel like in 2010 hes more angry and impulsive, like its the very first time he thinks about doing something like this, whereas in 2011 he feels sad and defeated, like hes going back to a place he fought very hard to get out of and because of this one guy hes back there, but in the end he recognises its his own fault
another minor difference that i think is worth mentioning, and honestly i like both versions, is what he does at the "senseless (or crazy) symphony" part. in 2010 he almost covers his ears cuz obviously it goes along with the lyrics in a literal sense. meanwhile in 2011 its more of a symbolic interpretation? idk how to word it but 2010 feels like hes just talking about his music and the thoughts inside his head making no sense, but in 2011 when he looks at his writs, his veins, its like he is talking about himself as a whole; a being without any meaning, who is losing his mind, and i like that too
and this difference goes on when he talks about the "disconcerting concert"; 2010 feels like hes literally listening to it around him, his performance in 2010 is overall more dramatic lkjslkd, meanwhile theres none of that in 2011, hes too melancholic to be jumping around
here when hes talking about his talent (or rather lack of) u can see how hes more angry in 2010 and sad in 2011 (honestly this corroborates my theory that at the beginning florent played salieri as a legit evil villain but as it went on he added more depth)
anyways so far both versions are good to me now........ the fucking dancers............... i move away from the mic to breathe in.jpg
theres just. so fucking much going on in 2011. there are a shit ton of people moving around, the flashing lights, the constant zoom in and out, the curtains moving the background, im gonna have a stroke????? l'assasymphonie is such a heavy song, emotionally, and florents performance is amazing on its on theres no fucking need to add 100 more elements!??!? it totally takes away ur focus from salieri ....
my biggest problem is with the dancers as u guessed it cuz honestly idk why they are there, i dont understand the need. i get that they are his inner demons, but not the sexy ones, so they are there to represent his inner turmoil and add a chaos element to the performance and a parallel to lbqfm with the whole hands on salieri part, but its way to obvious that it becomes repetitive! inner demons dancing around a character happens way too much on mor; bim bam boum in a way, j'accuse mon pere, la mascarade, comedie-tragedie, si je defaille, lbqfm and now again?!!?!?!?! bitihc dlajsdlkas
and the worst fucking part to me is when salieri goes to kill the female dancer
.....why whY... WHY.. why make the song literal like this!!! this is not what its about??!?! i know she isnt supposed to be A Person, this isnt him being A Murderer, she is him in a way but ?? we already saw him almost killing himself??!!? why repeat that, this is just so unnecessary and it doesnt sit right with me why make him stab a woman!! it makes my blood boil. it takes away all the drama from the other scene, of him with the knife on his wrist, because it is essentially the same!
now lets discuss why i prefer the lost half naked blindfolded men. is it because its gay? yes. is it because of the kinky element? yes. u see how that creates a parallel to lbqfm but in a subtle way? yes thank you.
to elaborate i feel like the 2010 dancers represent his psyche at the moment soooo much better. its not just simply his inner demons haunting him again, making it repetitive.
his is how i interpret it and how it relates to salieri:
the blindfold: god it can mean so much... above all i think its his envy and anger blinding him, making him feel lost and afraid. but it can also represent how salieri is a stern man, he only sees things one way and is blinded to other possibilities, other ways of living. because he is so narrow minded, so used to just following the status quo, he doesnt understand mozart and how his carefree way of life is working for him. he doesnt understand his conflicted feelings towards mozart. he doesnt understand how mozarts music can be so unconventional and yet beautiful, etc etc. his world was shattered and he feels lost because of this one little guy
but honestly i think the intention was to give a shoutout to amadeus lmao which is still cool. they do mention in MOR that mozart can play blindfolded so u can view as a parallel to that too
the lack of clothes: around mozart salieri feels naked but not in a sexy and fun way, in vulnerable and seen for the first time way. imagine how strongly he considered changing his name and moving countries after the whole eh bien, maestro? trop de notes? ordeal..... he was caught off guard in that situation so he let the truth out way too much, but he knows he cant fake it around mozart any other time either
their behaviour: they look afraid, lost, in pain and are constantly falling, getting up, then falling again and being pushed up against the wall by something invisible (to me its mozarts music/influence) and honestly i dont have to say anything else ! its all there !!! it represents salieris emotions perfectly !!!!!
in summary, to me the 2010 dancers dont have a lot to do with the lyrics of the song and i think thats good. they are there to add a new element to it, to let us see inside salieris head, while salieri himself is performing what the lyrics are about. so on the other hand i think the 2011 dancers are repetitive and unnecessary, not adding anything new to the performance
Okay was anyone gonna tell me Laurent dubbed Erik in the French version of the 2004 poto film or was I just supposed to go on a Wikipedia journey myself(none of the pages were even Laurent’s) also the og actors for Romeo and Juliet dubbed Raoul and Christine respectively(apparently there were two dubs and Damien only plays Raoul in the France version tho f) | anyway now I’m on Laurent’s page and 1 he’s done a lot more stuff than I thought 2 he’s 45??? He does not look it -3D
HOLY FUCING SHIT THAT IS HIM!??!!?!?!?!? NO U LITERALLY SHOULD HAVE SEEN MY FACE .. I SAID OH MY GOD LIKE 4 TIMES OUT LOUD DLKJSDLKJASKL NO BUT SERIOUSLY ???????? HIS NAME EVEN IS IN THE DESCRIPTION
THIS IS SICK AND TWISTED WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS BEFORE I CANT TRUST ANY OF U !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me before: yea right ill do a backflip if thats really him. ill be able to tell right away
me 2 seconds after he starts singing:
no but u wanna know why im so baffled? last year, bEFORE I KNEW MOR EXISTED, I had a poto phase again and i was curious about how the songs sounded like in other languages and i had to check french and i was shocked that the production never happened anywAYS REGARDLESS.THERE ARE THESE VIDEOS OF THE MOVIE DUB ON YOUTUBE AND I WATCHED THEM!!!!
3D I WATCHED THEM! !!!1!!! AND I DIDNDNT KNNOOWWWWWWW.................. I VIVDLY REMEMBER WATCHING POINT OF NO RETURN 💀........................................
this is like top 10 anime betrayals idk who betrayed me but i was betrayed.
consider aloysia georgiana (you're the one saying aloysia and salieri should be best friends all the time so) -3D
HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEE THATS WHY U HAVE THE OTHER BRAINCELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @briannorelfhunter LOOK AT THIS!!!
oh my god that would be so good.... thats adorable.... thats unparalleled and aloysia wouldnt even expose salieri by accident it would be all on purpose...... the scene where georgiana exposes darcy could go something like this instead:
aloysia: mozart your compositions are so beautiful
mozart: oh thank you? but how do u know? we just met, u never heard me play or saw me conduct before
aloysia: yes but i overheard salieri playing one of ur pieces :)))) it was lovely :)) u could see him really trying to achieve the... [to salieri] how did u call it? what was it that u whispered to urself thinking u were alone? the magnificence? ah since u are both here u should play it together for me!
anyway we stan the person who flimed the 9 january 2011 mor performance for giving us a video of nannerl/maeva(maennerl??) in pjp with good audio quality | also i have bad news in shanghai's 2018 production of r+j, mercutio's hair is different (romeo and benvolio have better hair and better costumes than in 2010, but i think 18 mercutio is the same actor as 10(although i think n*no had to take over when john broke his leg at some point) (1/2) -3D
but now mercutio's hair is like. dreadlock kind of? ponytail dreadlocks? but i'm pretty sure you need to have certain hair textures to have actual dreadlocks that aren't """"dreadlocks""" made by not washing your hair so that it clumps together(i've seen a few pictures of like extreme cases of """"dreadlocks""" and it was. p gross ngl) and idk if john eyzen has the right hair texture so idk if dreadlocks is right... ANYWAY the 2010 hairstyle is gone and it's sad. also his makeup is worse 2/2 -3D
YES I LOVE THAT !!!!!!!!!! DKJASNK love maennerl she couldnt have chosen a better song to butt into,,,, does this sentence even make sense u know what i mean
..................... 🗿wtf. i looked up pictures and yea wtf 🗿why the fuck would they do that........... we really cant win huh. u fix one thing and fuck up another. theres so much wrong with that 😭 well at least in the 2010 proshot theres none of that bullshit :/ aNDDDD i still need to watch it !!!!!!!! anyways glad to know they asked the iconic actor to play mercutio again !
okay so the milder florent pic is pinterest(.)ca/pin/642818546811957969/ and then the main one is pinterest(.)ca/pin/642818546811957916/ | but remove the parentheses -3D
