Taylor Swift's big moment comes toward the end of the movie when she sings the seductive "Macavity" and attempts to eliminate the competition by kidnapping and imprisoning other cats on a barge. What do you think about her performance as Bombalurina?
Cats (2019) SYNOPSIS: A tribe of cats must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.

Of course, the whole point of the song in the musical is that Bombalurina (Taylor Swift's character in the film) fears and hates Macavity even though she might still be attracted to him. It's never explicitly stated in words, but the way in which Bombalurina in the musical closely resembles another character named Demeter and seems quite protective of her strongly implies that the two are most likely siblings. Demeter is often nervous and she's terrified of Macavity -- she's the first to know when he's there and tends to attribute anything unexpected to him, implying that they were acquainted in the past.

This movie makes me so sad. I watched the Broadway play that visited in Dallas. The macavity scene was one of the most incredible, Macavity felt very sisnister and all of the cats on the stage were afraid of him, especially when he first came on. Him and The Rum Tum Tiger duet danced as if they were fighting but almost in a sultry way. And at the end Macavity took 2 giant plugs and a smashed them together and made the entire stage look like it was being electrocuted, and it went all the way up the ceiling of the Theater. It was breath taking and this movie couldn’t do it justice. They should’ve just made it an animation.

Cats was one of my first experiences in a theater. Loved it! Just finished watching a review of the music for this film. It clearly defined why I had such a negative reaction to the film besides the inclusion of Cordin and Wilson, just cringe. The continuous interruptions of songs that are more powerful with an even flow. Also, turns out the music was performed to the voices and not the other way around. This affected the beat of the soundtrack in a negative way.

One of the reasons the play worked and the movie didn't: The Cats musical wasn't trying to make the characters look like cats. They wanted to give them cat-like features. The wigs/fur on the head, the makeup, the full body suits with occasional feathering to resemble fur, a string belt with a yarn tail, etc. The movie failed to this. They simply changed the color, added fur, ears, and a tail and changed absolutely nothing else. The musical knew it was pretty impossible to sing, dance, and act on a stage while looking exactly like cats, so they didn't. THATS why the musical worked in the first place. Obviously, having those costumes in a movie wouldn't work either though. So why this musical was made into a musical is beyond me

@WhiteVioletButterfly 3 жыл бұрын

One reason the movie slips hard into uncanny valley is that they CGIed out their human ears but left their noses and eyes completely human. Their “cat” ears are also positioned incorrectly, if you look at a real cat’s ears they start halfway down its head. This makes their head look proportioned completely wrong, too tall and thin too to be natural. They also didn’t add enough fur to keep them from looking like naked humans. This is the worst on Rebel Wilson since she has her creepy skin suit, but pretty much every cat not “wearing clothes” looks naked. The worst is Macavity since they actually made him skin colored *and* he was clothed before.

Make my character the same color as my skin and give me green eyes and we'll call it a day". lol

Ikr. It should have been this amazing duet we had in the musical. You can see Demeter's struggle there and Bombalurina's still-going affection for Macavity. Also I hate how they drug everyone with catnip in this to make them dance along, while in the musical it was all the female kittens (or at least younger cats) who joined them in their dance because they were swayed by Macavity's reputation and the mystery around him. It was so much more intriguing and made Macavity a more interesting but also more dangerous character. You could sense the attraction to evil in there, even though I couldn't have explained it as a child I knew it was there. Everyone was just so much more refined in the musical, despite it being "just" a presentation of cats who want to go to the heavyside lair.
