Inside Llewyn Davis- Queen Jane song, Oscar Isaac

Queen Jane lay in labor full nine days or more
'Til her women grew so tired, they could no longer there
They could no longer there
"Good women, good women, good women that you may be
Will you open my right side and find my baby?
And find my baby
"Oh no," cried the women, "That's a thing that can never be
We will call on King Henry and hear what he may say
And hear what he may say"
King Henry was sent for, King Henry he did come
Saying, "What does ail you my lady? Your eyes, they look so dim
Your eyes, they look so dim"
"King Henry, King Henry, will you do one thing for me?
Will you open my right side and find my baby
And find my baby"
"Oh no, cried King Henry, "That's a thing that i can never do
If I lose the flower of England, I shall lose the branch too
I shall lose the branch too"
There was fiddling, aye, and dancing on the day the babe was born
But poor Queen Jane beloved lay cold as a stone
Lay cold as a stone

This scene is designed to intentionally mislead you. It's supposed to feel like a turning point for Llewyn. The shots push in closer and closer to him and Grossman, making you feel like he's touched by the music. Llewyn even gets more confident as he plays, making eye contact more and more. You feel like after all the shit he's been through, maybe he'll finally get his big break. Then they hit you with that harsh line at the end. Great stuff by the Coen bros.

[@jrizzy626]

I think you’re right on. Llewen’s face at the end of the song shows that he put all of his soul and emotion in to it, that he’s proud of it, and that someone is finally going to recognize his greatness. Then after “I don’t see a lot of money here,” his soul is crushed once again, but he’s used it. Absolutely brilliant acting.

@@zMarcusHD Have you ever been on a film set? They often re do great takes just as assurance regardless of how good any single take was. I doubt Oscar even blinked.

[@relaxingsounds3877]

What I love about this scene and the final crushing dialogue, is the fact that Grossman WAS actually touched by the music. He doesn't say "you've got no talent" or "I'm sorry but it just doesn't sound good." He pretty much says the opposite: "you are a true artist, and that's why I don't see a lot of money here. "

[@darkmikerises]

I wouldn’t go as far as to say he thinks of him as a true artist. Grossman just wants musicians that make him money. Llewyn didn’t have it. At least in Bud’s opinion…

[@jugurthasyphax6341]

I think what the scene means is talent is not enough. You need originality. There were hundreds of folk singers like Llewyn endlessly covering the same folk songbook. Bob Dylan made it because his original songwriting made him stand apart. Same for the Beatles. They realized they were never gonna make it as long as they covered the same Buddy Holly songs as everyone else, no matter how good the singing and playing was. The money was in new songs and new sound.

[@cody8804]

I don’t think Grossman cared at all. He’s extremely dismissive. There’s nothing in his voice or demeanor that says he was moved by the song in the slightest

[@SeanLives]

Exactly right....'I fucking hate folk music!!' - Llewyn Davis​@@jugurthasyphax6341

[@BlakeJortles]

​@@jugurthasyphax6341yeah. Dylan apparently changed things by actually writing songs. Even if he stole lyrics and music, he made them better. Gorgeous song though, I've listened to it at least 20 times since rewatching the movie this weekend.

I think it's telling that this is the most the technically difficult song he plays, and he does it perfectly...and it's not enough

[@thealexanderbond]

It's pretty basic chords, it's hard to play any piece with true feeling of course , but it's not technically difficult, takes half an hour for any experienced guitarist to learn this solid. Probably green rock road is the trickiest on this soundtrack.

[@aidankeane8971]

This is an allegory to the film itself. "I don't see a lot of money here" is the authors acknowledgement that the art they are creating won't see commercial success but is still worth doing. The tragedy in this moment is not Queen Jane - it's Llewyn Davis and the Coen themselves. Powerful stuff.

I would have bought your record Llewyn, if this was real and i lived in that world. Made me mad when the guy said there wasn't much money in his music.

[@jond2472]

this scene can only work if the actor is capable of being a great musician. the performance of this song is magical, no one else could play it and sing it like this. its truely beutifull. and then follows the tragic reality of life that the guy listening is only interested in money and how sellable it could be. but his focus on the performance leads you to believe he is capivated by its beuty. this is great movie making of the highest level.

[@bubblykoi]

my favorite film of all time and i remember the feeling when i first watched this film and this scene where he sings so beautifully and with so much confidence as well believing that he might actually make it and how i felt the same way. i really believed maybe he did have a chance to change his life, but when grossman let him down and said he doesnt see money i was really upset and disappointed to hear that. its like if i was there in person witnessing this moment. really incredible god i love this film, love oscar and abraham for this iconic scene.

[@davidortega3393]

I think this song has more symbolism to the story than a lot of people interpret. In the song, the women and the king can’t let go of the queen to let the baby be born. But in the end, the baby was born and the people celebrated despite the queen dying. In parallel, Llewyn can’t let go of Mike. But in letting go (not forgetting him, but moving on to the next chapter of his life) he himself could have a rebirth as a musician. In the end, the song has an optimistic outlook that something joyous can come out of tragedy, and maybe that could be the case for Llewyn.

[@cody8804]

I always tied the lyrics of the song to him knowing Jean is about to abort his baby (or have the baby without Llewyn in their life, either way they aren’t in his life). Somehow the song ties in to all that in ways I can’t quite put into words.

[@dmitch1990]

That's a very astute interpretation. Immediately after Salieri rejects Llewyn as a solo act, he gives him an opportunity to be in Peter, Paul, and Mary, which Llewyn rejects because, after Mike, he doesn't want to be part of another group act.

[@SeanLives]

There's no optimism... Only cold hard reality ... Like the cold Chicago snow he is forced back into

[@hazuinf]

The song choice is a really incisive piece of characterisation here. He has a chance to impress somebody, and if he can do that, he can make a career out of what he loves. And he chooses a song which he thinks will show the most important part about himself, and about folk music as he sees it - something traditional, and really authentic. Only Grossman is a businessman, and what is most important for him is something that will sell. I think this song and 'Please Mr Kennedy', more than any other pair, demonstrate the opposite tensions pulling at folk music at this time, and right in the middle we have Llewyn, caught between his dream and what he sees as his principles.

[@joelburch5033]

If Dave van Ronk was around for the folk resurgence of this century he probably would have made it. Even if he didnt get signed today, with how the framework of distribution has changed, he probably would have still found an audience and been successful. Dave's story is the story of many of the folk artists of that decade. Pop music moved on to fast and record labels were not interested in non-commercial music. To me , the story of Inside Llewyn Davis is largely about what it was like to be a potential superstar and miss your window. Just look at his lifestyle , hes 'all in', but its too late. He was even thrown a chance for his talent, but his trauma with his old partners passing probably prevented him from seeing it that way. If its any consolation, Dave did have moderate success throughout his career. I don't actually know how accurate the story was.

Have a feeling Abraham was cast to intentionally play the same role that he played in Amadeus. In a position to hamstring another Mozart all over again, crush his spirit and send him into a spiral.

[@ues5587]

except if you knew what he offered Oscar, it was far greater success than he ever could have obtained playing his uniformly lugubrious playlist. trim his hair to a goatee, sing some harmonies, join a trio -- that would be Peter, Paul & Mary. Grossman was a real person. and in 1961, the year this movie was set in with a fictional lead but supporting characters -- from Jim and Jean, to Mike Porco, to Grossman, to Dylan at the very end -- were real people too, and Grossman was in fact putting Peter, Paul & Mary together. that's what Llewyn turned down.
