Cate Blanchett on Becoming Lydia Tár | Apple Music

[@rics1883]

Cate Blanchett’s overdue for her 3rd Oscar. No one could have given nuanced, layered performance the way she did. Hands down best living actress

[@tinaansbro8740]

True!!!

[@Brooklynbaby47]

Amen 🙌

[@moviemaniac14]

Don't forget The Fabelmans with Michelle Williams' brilliant performance, but I definitely wouldn't be mad if Blanchett won. TAR was great.

[@gangsteru1994]

Cate Blanchett is the Meryl Streep of her generation, no doubt. I am not sure it this statement does her justice since she is in a whole league of her own but I do mean that in the most complementary way. She is indeed unique and I am grateful for being able to observe this spledid actor in all of her glory. Seeing her is just like being able to see the beatles live once more - the peak of human genius. Thank you for your contribution to the human race! Thank you for your existence!

He has a tendency to speak for his guests instead of shutting up and listening. We missed so many of her insights because he cut into them with his digressing yammers. She never interrupted him. He interrupted her so many times. So irritating.

[@Jasper_the_Cat]

Indeed. And you're being generous. So cringe! I felt bad for Cate, although she was quite gracious about his constant peacocking.

[@horsecockphepner]

how did this nobody clown get this job ?

[@mlw9195]

Lol I didn’t see that. It looked like a conversation

[@zinniamolina3067]

Yes

[@bread2951]

Eaxctly. Also its Cate. It had been a little okay to interrupt if it was some other boring actor in his mid 40s. This man was very annoying. I wish Cate Blanchett did anything where she is the only one talking. Her views and voice is definitely great combination.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

One of the best actresses of all time. She can play anything.

[@RF-hx4wc]

He has a tendency to interrupt his guests to listen to himself. We missed so many ends of her points because he cut into what she was saying. She never interrupted him. Lost count of how many times he interrupted her. So annoying.

[@gregkiernan9130]

Exactly. At one point I told him to “shut up” out loud when I had, yet again, missed her full response and he cut her off.

[@vivmartica.438]

I mean: I was a fan about Meryl Steep but, really, I think Cate is one step beyond after Tár´s perfomance. Amazing!! GOAT

[@rics1883]

One of the best actors not just actress. Blanchett’s acting ability transcends gender

[@missbumblebee8633]

What I love about Cate Blanchett is the fact that she presents herself excactly as the Goddess that she is.

[@alexman378]

She’s one of those once in a generation types of actresses. And the fact she keeps her private matters private definitely maintains that alluring air of mystery of old Hollywood actors.

[@blesssyourheart333]

Besides him interrupting her, hands down this is probably the most joyous and fascinated I have ever felt while listening to an interview of a celebrity. Plus her voice is just the cherry on top.

[@denisrichardson3260]

zane is an excellent interviewer, he manages somehow to keep it real with world-renowned personalities.. love Kate..

i love her voice so much 🤗

[@mariaisabeldegraciamelende2338]

[@nal2723]

yes that's true, her voice is great

[@Juliennedarwin]

Very irritating how Zane Low keeps mansplaining to Cate. His insights are not what we are interested in because he is supposed to be doing the interviewing right? Cate in mid flow making a point gets interrupted by Zane with something incredibly banal, he doesn’t seem to realize how brilliant Cate is. She however gets it when Zane says “...Lydia Tar finds it difficult connecting with people”, and Cate replies “Don’t we all”. Maestro indeed.

[@gabrielacepeda7484]

I love how she talks about acting without sounding pretentious but just as another art form. It seems american actors are more full of it when it comes to method acting and not being able to come back to themselves after performing

[@jordanllorens]

lmao, this is true. i absolutely hate it. austin butler comes to mind when you say that about Americans actors. constantly talking like Elvis, like sir.. 😂

[@antitono479]

Mate, you need to learn how to listen to people. Mid sentence in and you already thinking about what to say instead of listening.

[@marygracemagdadaro5197]

her approach to embody the character by listening to sounds, beats, music while talking to people or going for a slow walk should be given prodigious recognition. An actor can be good at pretending, but cate was the character itself. No wonder it felt like a documentary rather than a movie

[@duanein3d]

This was an incredibly unexpected gift. One of my favorite actresses and one of my favorite interviews. I’d love more movie-related content.

[@subhamkumbhakar4769]

An absolute blessing to get to listen to her talk about art and life in general. She's so gracious and full of wisdom; you just can't help but fall in love with this incredible being. And what can I say about Zane apart from this, the dedication and love he puts in, in all of his interviews is exemplary. Loved it.

I'm only 7 minutes into watching this but already am so annoyed with how often Zane interrupts Cate. Let this impeccable actor speak, unfettered and unencumbered. Please.

[@melodyal3357]

Exactly my thoughts. I would expect a more professional and modest attitude from the interviewer guy. He made the interview often look as if he was in the character talking about himself..

[@Anna-vz5jl]

Cate is such a brilliant actor I saw Tar a couple of days ago . Wow what a brilliant character she is so amazing . I loved the opening scene . When she is waiting to do the interview . How she prepares . She should have won an Oscar ♥️🎥🎹

And yes, her voice has gotten even deeper with age and maturity. I can tell the difference when listening to interviews of her in her 30s vs now.

[@rudysolorzano2221]

One of the most sublime actresses who has the ability to morph into any character seamlessly. Cate is a true legend that deserves the title of acting icon without question.

[@kevankwok01]

Here's my philosophical take. Who are you? It's a question we don't talk about enough. We live in a society that tries to define us based on our roles, labels, status, background & belongings. Yet how can this be us if we are constantly changing? The only thing relatively stable is our inner awareness. Lydia is identified by her role as a top conductor with power & ties her identity & value as a person to it. When she loses this, she loses her sense of self. Yet this existential crisis becomes the turning point towards her spiritual growth. She travels, she confronts the reality of the exploitation of women, immerses herself in the local culture (going for a boat ride & even requesting to swim) and becomes open to conducting for a fandom movie perhaps for the love of conducting or perhaps as she wouldn't know who she was without being able to do so, however humbling the level of music may be. In a society that reveres traditional career success and power, the movie is also a comment on how the commerce of art corrodes the art and the person itself. Are you doing it for the love of the art itself or for the prestige, power & money it might bring? Lydia had many videos of the conductor in her home, is highly aware of the artform of the conductor, strives for perfection in the way in which she wants each piece to be played so she has a strong level of artistic integrity to her. It's the corrosive power of the commercialism of her art, the corrosion of society's philosophical nature & her lack of understanding of her true inner self that causes the beautifully stacked house of orchestral cards to come crashing down. It feels like a metaphor for the society we live in. Yet there's hope, she did go to Peru previously with the other two girls perhaps for an Ayuhausca retreat, she's travelling in a country that is less materially wealthy yet we see many more smiles and she is able to spend time away from what became a toxic environment for her. Yet it was only toxic because of her underlying tendencies. The need to present a false self in order to feel good enough. The whole movie helps points me to the answer of whether you can separate the art and the artist.

[@Bexrt]

so what is your opinion on the separation of art and the artist? Please elaborate. Thank you :)

[@Minptahhathor]

Still waiting for yo answer.

[@alarmgoingoff9325]

Her voice is insane 🤯

[@vickycohn4586]

There are some real true golden nuggets here and there in this talk and Cate Blanchett is really wise and intelligent. I very much enjoyed the conversation, hearing some real and true thoughts and feelings - thank you very much!

[@Aeifygia]

I would recommend this to anyone - even one that does not have any prior knowledge - who wishes to acquire a deep understanding of Cate Blanchett the actor and the person. Super kudos to the interviewer for one of the most meaningful, dense and open conversations that are out here…

[@ariadnecolson1245]

The way she continues to whisper even after she stopped... she's just so cute I can't

[@tyrdunbar]

Tar was my favorite movie of the year. I was so in for michelle yoeh and EEAAO but i simply must concede to the sheer artistry of this film. What I love about tar tho and just an underlying theme of the film is that artistry can excuse bad behavior. Im a perfect world we would get tar two where she rises to notoriety again through the work she was doing for the cosplayers.

[@UyenLe-9119]

I don't see the movie as making the case that artistry can excuse bad behavior at all. It does ask the viewers to wrestle with the role of an artist in society. What I find interesting is that Lydia got her comeuppance but the movie lets her keep the love for making music which in a way retains some humanity in her

[@michaelburns5122]

As much as I loved Tár, it’s still Michelle Yeoh for me. Michelle went soooo many places in that film… still inches ahead for me.

[@UyenLe-9119]

@@michaelburns5122 I much much prefer Cate's performance. However, I temper my opinion by reminding myself that they're fundamentally different movies so perhaps comparing the performances makes little sense and both performances are Oscar worthy. I also understand the political and cultural importance if Yeoh wins though.

Cate the Great. Wonderful interview, brilliant film.

[@dctrevett]

I love this so much, seems like two old friends chatting. Zane asks good questions, gives input, but mostly let's Cate speak. But I do think that artists SHOULD be trying to do something original, though not necessarily what everyone else thinks is original. The sameness of most of what comes out of the entertainment industry indicates that very few can make that distinction.

Cara Cate, I votanti dell'Academy per gli Oscar 2023 hanno palesemente dimostrato la loro incompetenza o peggio... a giudicare la tua straordinaria abilità nell'affrontare un personaggio complesso come Lydia Tar.... Un'altra pagina nera di Hollywood, una vera vergogna!!! 😢

[@PsychesFlora]

The irony being that like Lydia I have Misophonia, so I had to skip all the whispering at the beginning because it's one of my triggers. It was such an incredible film! She's a spectacular actress.

[@melodyal3357]

Cate Blanchett is something else. She has that ,,something" extra you cannot name, but you feel it's there. All over her aura. As it happens with some (rare) musician geniuses, it's the same principle with Cate Blanchett - with her talent (as actress) and with her personality (in her being).

[@nicholasbogosian5420]

It felt like a documentary only in the extremely stark quality of most of the film - lots of information and not peering a lot into the personal. There's a great tension built over the first ninety minutes where nothing "plot-y" happens - it doesn't feel like a fictional drama at all. The drama is saved for the last 50minutes.

[@bringiton5282]

I didn't understand it either. Both Todd and Cate kept saying the film was about the corruption of power. If Lydia is power, why not give a full picture of her ? If the film warns against power, why not make that warning as broad as can be. I feel like they left stones unturned. What is power to start with ?
