4:21-4:28 My opinion on why Lydia loves Petra: In my opinion, she knows that she must preserve her authority among her spouse and most of the other people in her life, especially her professional life. Whereas with Petra, because of her innocence and not yet succumbing to the real world problems and responsibilities, this innocence she has and ultimately her ability to love Lydia truthfully, without strings attached, makes Lydia love her truthfully as well.

You did a great take! I only saw it once but it definitely warrants a rewatch

* An artist can become a dictator. In some instances that may be necessary. But a dictatorship can be overthrown. * The existential journey of the artist intertwines with the existential journeys of protégés, colleagues and at times, members of the audience. There are multiple blended journeys. * No matter how hard the artist covers up the history of their past, they cannot eliminate their current history from the present. * The attempted control exerted by the artist is limited.

Dificil no caer en la tentación estando Lydia Tar rodeada de mujeres hermosas,siendo ella tan talentosa y poderosa

What is interesting about Tar is how its subject matter mirrors the meta view of the film. I think the audience thought it was much more nuanced than the creators intended, judging by their comments. For instance, most people thought Tar clearly won the debate she had with the student about the classic composers. The video that starts her downfall was clearly manipulated and seems to be done out of spite because they just did not like her views rather than because of any allegation of abuse. Also, although I appreciate the movie did show the hard to challenge ways she could have her way in the orchestra, I read Olga as gleefully taking advantage of Tar's attraction until she had her downfall and then clearly and rather meanly abandoned her in New York. But the cast and director seem to think that it was much more clearer to them that Tar was 100% in the wrong. I also think this setting is the hardest to make definitive statements about because unlike just working in some company, the whole orchestra is kind of, by necessity, reliant on a great artist who by the nature of being an artist, can be difficult or temperamental and know that you have to stay in the subjective good graces of one person. There can be lots of hidden biases that make you favor one person to another that are unfair, but they kind of "signed up" for that by taking the job. Even in this movie, it is muddled more by the older violinist who they wanted to replace and you could ask is that "fair"? That unfairness is seen as too bad, the way it is, but then the other unfairness that brings her down is not? That makes you think.

First, Petra isn’t just Sharon’s daughter. She is THEIR daughter. Second, Nina Hoss truly shines in this film ‘cause she didn’t need much lines on the script to perform her character magnificently. Thanks for pointing that out.

Great video! Loved you take on this. Tár is such a fascinating movie.

Adored hearing your take on this incredibly complex film!

Tár is ART

Excellent observations.

Do u think Tár ever felt remorse for what she did to the students she manipulated? I watched the movie a couple months ago, but from what I remember, she only seemed sorry that she failed as a “great musician” and that she wasn’t this amazing conductor and all that. She cries at her childhood home because her dream didn’t turn out the way SHE wanted. She has a breakdown on stage and punches that guy because SHE isn’t the one conducting. Throughout the whole movie she is throwing others under the bus to cover her own tracks. Do you think she ever felt true guilt for the things she did?

Fantastic video

Nice review, so in depth. What'd you think of Blanchett's performance?

Yes Ezra Miller wants to know.. Lol

You are doing too much. You are doing to much that you missed the movie. No one rushes to grab their seats any more. and Yeah you missed the movie, Less is more.
