As a healthcare worker, I also cringe when actors don't act realistically during medical scenes. I feel this.

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

I think that's basically the case for every profession. I love watching reviews of movies / TV shows made by doctors, lawyers, pilots, musicians, dancers, etc. It makes me both laugh and cringe but at the same time I learn a lot. 😄 Edit: It's not exactly the same thing, but I feel that way for actors talking in languages other than their own in movies, especially if their character is supposed to be fluent in that language. I am multilingual and most of the times it makes me cringe because it's very obvious that they learned their lines phonetically, have no idea what they're saying and have such a horrendous pronunciation and tone that it's barely understandable to native speakers... 😬

[@jadealexander8233]

As a black violinist, I'm disappointed. There are many deserving black violinists who could've mastered this role.

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

That's exactly what I said in another comment! The collective consciousness of a classical musician in the mainstream is a middle-age white man, there is a serious lack of diversity in the classical world. Such a missed opportunity to give the role to a real black violinist who could have personally benefited from being in a spotlight and get a boost in his career. And it may also have contributed to a change in mentalities. Such a shame...

[@CommanderQc]

​@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia Be realistic. How many black violinist actors are there? and how many are a good fit for the role?

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

@@CommanderQc I agree that it's definitely easier to find white classical violinists. And even then, casting directors and/or producers still prefer hiring actors with no musical background whatsoever. But if they really wanted, I'm sure they could find someone to fit that role. I checked the statistics and about 9 % of violinists in the US are black (because even if the movie is about a French-Caribbean guy, of course for an American movie it has to be an American actor 🙄). You're telling me that among thousands of them it's impossible to find one who is able to decently act? It doesn't have to be a soloist, even an intermediate player could do the trick. You know what? OK, there isn't a single black man in the world who can act, play violin, and look good on camera. Then just use a double, that way the violinist doesn't have to act and we don't even see his face. He probably wouldn't get any recognition but at least the playing wouldn't look that bad. To me it's pretty obvious that they don't even try, they just don't care. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand that most movie makers prioritise a compelling story telling for their audience rather than accuracy. Not saying it's a good thing, just that I understand where they're coming from. Money rules the world and people prefer unrealistic movies to documentaries. It doesn't make it less sad to see missed opportunities like this one.

[@DameMitHermelin]

​@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia Well, you could also bemoan the serious lack of diversity in rap and hiphop "music" because there is a collective consciousness of rappers all being young-ish black men. 🙄 Funny how the demands for DiVeRsItY only ever go one way.

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

@@DameMitHermelin Actually, I am of the opinion that all music styles should be open to anybody. Eminem is one of the most prominent rap figure and he's white. In my country (France), some of the most famous and successful rappers are also white, including a woman who is now retired but is considered like our Queen of rap. I knew a Gospel choir who had people of all colours in it. Jazz, also coming from black communities, is appreciated and performed by a whole bunch of people from different cultures. I don't agree with the "cultural appropriation" stuff that some people seem to be attached to nowadays. There is no reason to gatekeep any style of music, whether it's classical or anything else, as long as everyone respect the roots and history of that genre. (Just a precision, I'm not an activist fighting for minority rights or anything like that. I actually usually refrain from giving my opinion on the topic because I know it's a sensitive one. I just felt like making an exception and sharing my thoughts for this specific case.)

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

That's actually what makes me mad in these movies / TV shows. They usually do have professional consultants who give them advice, but the people in charge just don't listen to them because "it looks better this way". 🙄

[@em5522]

Then they should've gotten an actual violinist for the role.

[@therunningawesomehiatus7022]

True and like hundreds of other musical movies

[@timmyc9915]

Seriously I want to give those people in charge a stern talking to sometimes, but they'll probably say _"Nah man the actor must have the role, what if the musician can't act? Then the movie will suck."_ which is fair considering that most folk don't care whether or not the actor plays an instrument or gets it right; but it leaves us to perpetually cringe for the time being.

@@gatesurfer That's not jazz. It's syncopation.

[@coolguy4709]

@@gatesurfer 2 + 1 triplet rhythm ≠ swing, just like how using a bunch of dotted quarters with eighth notes doesn't make it swing either, and syncopation was already popular with composers like Mozart, let alone Beethoven. Do I see improvisation or the excessive use of 9, 11, and 13 chords? What about modes, which are used quite often in jazz?

[@dronescenicmatics]

It sounded more like a minor pentatonic scale...which is commonly related to blues.

[@MaggaraMarine]

@@gatesurfer The rhythm is somewhat "jazzy" (especially the use of the "charleston" rhythm), but the melodic vocabulary has little to do with jazz or blues (also, I would say it's closer to "boogie woogie" than jazz). In the movie scene, it wasn't the rhythm that made it sound "jazzy" - it was the melody and the phrasing.

Idea for a video: perhaps you should get one (or more) actors and attempt to teach them to 'play' a piece, let's say within one hour. (It could be a contest between Eddy and Brett.) In this way, you might see the challenges of acting while playing the violin and gain insight into other aspects, such as the time and effort ideally required to achieve a satisfying level of "violin acting" to the eyes of musicians.

I honestly love that you complimented the costuming. I thought the designer and costuming department did a great job for only having 4 weeks to make all the costumes in this film! I watched this film last year and had to hand it to them with how they were able to not only manage their time well but also the budget for the story being presented.

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

4 weeks?!? I don't know much about costuming but that definitely doesn't sound a lot for a historical movie. I haven't watched the whole film and I'm sure that a specialist would probably point out some inaccuracies, but props to the people in charge for putting all of this together in such a short amount of time. 👍🏻

[@BaileeWalsh]

Yeah, they had very limited time and worked pretty much endlessly until shooting was scheduled to begin. I mostly noticed the lack of embellishments on garments, but of course it's details like that which would have taken more time. I read a Below The Line article called "Chevalier Costume Designer Oliver Garcia Captures 18th Century France With A Contemporary Fashion Flair" if you or anyone reading this comment is interested.

[@BaroqueBach.]

The actor for Mozart in Amadeus, Tom Hulce, spent six hours every day for four months learning and practising fortepiano before he started the role. That's determination that modern movies cannot achieve. Addition: Every note in Amadeus was played in the scene, meaning Hulce was able to play in the style of Mozart in only FOUR months.

[@crankfastle8138]

One of the few movies I thought was too short. Everyone in that film was amazing. They all cared.

[@caterscarrots3407]

4 months of 6 hours a day for Mozart on fortepiano doesn’t surprise me. I got to the point of playing Mozart(and I’m not talking little minuets, I’m talking piano sonatas) on a modern piano in 6 months of 1-2 hours a day practice, so more hours is going to lead to faster learning speed all things considered.

[@billcook4768]

Funny they worked so hard on authentic technique when the story is blatantly ahistorical. Don’t get me wrong, I adore Amadeus. But, yeah, almost none of that happened.

For example that scene u mentioned in saving private ryan wasn't trying to be heroic but instead showed how horrifying was can be in reality so yes maybe when directors aim for such scenes they tend to be more consious about technical aspects too.

I wonder if someday they could analyze the brazilian movie The Violin Teacher (Tudo que Aprendemos Juntos), it's about a violinist who is forced to give music classes to a youth orchestra

[@channelname9843]

Why'd they change the title to something so generic in English lol

[@Iluvtwosetandwatchtoomuch]

TWOSETTTT!!!!! YOU HAD ME CRYING SINCE I DON'T CELEBRATE (is it celebrate or not?????) APRIL FOOLS DAY AND I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR REAL!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

[@M_SC]

It would make more sense to say “my culture doesn’t have April fool’s day”

[@Iluvtwosetandwatchtoomuch]

@@M_SC i think my culture does but thanks for pointing this out im only young so i dont really support it but yes i am old enough to have a youtube account !!!!! :)

Hmmm... How can we portray a black man in the Classical Era as Mozart's underappreciated equal? ***Time Travel Jazz intensifies***

[@MrKamran2108]

“That’s borderline racist” 😂😂

[@5brittneynicole]

My day is instantly better when I see a new TwoSet video!

[@Jessica-rw6nr]

IM SO HAPPY YOU GUYS DIDNT QUIT.I was actually convinced because it said it was released on late March 31st. But I think movies should like hire more Hilary and Chloe Chua and people that are good at violin and deserve the recognition for that.

[@susanbryant6516]

Luckily, that was April 1 in Singapore/australia etc.

[@Jessica-rw6nr]

@@susanbryant6516 Oh phew

[@indigo5889]

Yes! They finally reviewed Chevalier! Also there's a scene where Joseph as a child plays violin, and it's actually better technique- he got worse as he got older🤣

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

It's really unfortunate that he forgot everything growing up! 😅

[@crankfastle8138]

​@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedialuckily he replaced it with what would eventually be jazz.

[@wakingtheworld]

@@crankfastle8138 I watched a great film recently called Green Book. A classically trained and successful pianist of the 50/60's, Don Shirley, plays according to his colour - Jazz - but his heart yearns to play classical music. Copy/pasting here.... The film is inspired by the true story of a 1962 tour of the Deep South by African American pianist Don Shirley & Italian American bouncer & later actor Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga, who served as Shirley's driver & bodyguard. However, the actor didn't play the piano, and Green Book uses clever edits to hide the fact that it isn't Ali's fingers hitting the keys. The piano was actually played by Kris Bowers, and it's his hands that can be seen on the keys.

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

​@@wakingtheworld Sounds interesting, might check it out. 😊

[@naomivanwyk]

My parents pulled up this movie to watch a couple nights ago. Once it started I was like, no, I'm gonna go clean my room or something. My mom was like "why?" and I was like look at how he's playing! Ug! As a violinist, this made me cringe so much! So glad you guys agree.

[@vanessachromik3879]

Omg I've missed the movie review videos a lot! 😄 great video guys! I'll go practice now

[@TheAngieIshmael]

Brett and Eddy, PLEASE learn the banjo! It's unlike any instrument I've ever played, the SOUND that comes out is otherworldly, incomprable to anything. Please please please learn the banjo, you'll love it

[@michaelblaney4461]

Might be too difficult for violinists!

[@Phymacss]

I’m so happy you guys are posting a lot! You made me the best student in music class and my teacher now loves me lol.

[@taniar523]

Oh, it's nice to go back to their roasting/informative videos. So much fun!

[@pskim731]

Honestly, the ONE movie that I remember watching and was REALLY good with a REAL violinist that can act and perform with virtuosity was a Chinese movie called "Together" (2002). The performance was great and the movie was beautiful and the music, Tchaikovsky's violin concerto at the end is fantastic!

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

Brett and Eddy made a video about that movie and really praised it! One of the only two movies (out of the dozens they've reviewed) that actually had a real violinist as the lead role...

[@sarasate89]

You two should re-create this scene on stage somewhere, complete with costumes etc, and show us how it really should be done! That would be awesome.

[@wakingtheworld]

Now THAT would be quite something and achievable, judging by some of their earlier vids. Would take planning, time, practice, rehearsing and money! Not impossible though....

[@wakingtheworld]

Comment on this comment to move it up!

[@wakingtheworld]

I've scrolled down a way already; not sure how many do. I fear this one may get buried at the bottom of a pile of several thousand comments....

[@wakingtheworld]

I'm trying though.... Very trying I am, I know!

[@Laura2025]

Overjoyed to see you again! The world needs musicians like you!!!

[@pixlesilver]

OMG YESS MORE TWOSETROST!!!

[@NiiloPaasivirta]

Hey, your acting was just fine in that online concert, um, some years ago. Where Paganini was the main antagonist.

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

You mean in their Virtual World Tour? I haven't watched it in such a long time, I literally forgot there was Paganini in it! 😅 Well, I have a playlist of recordings from this concert, I'm gonna check it now. (It was in 2021 by the way.)

[@wakingtheworld]

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia On the ball as usual! But TwoSet have done quite a fair bit of acting themselves. One I recall is when Eddy was some highbrow director wanting to promote a young musician (Brett) to stardom and fame (while coining it in).

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

@@wakingtheworld I absolutely love this video, Eddy NAILED that role. 😅 And yeah, I agree with you. Brett and Eddy may not have had formal training in acting but over the last 10 years on KZbin and in their shows, they've had more than enough time to hone this craft. And when comparing their earlier skits to more recent ones, I would say they have become quite good at it!

[@Eggstillstanding]

0:15 no, no they have not. 😔

[@padmavathibudducherla2559]

I am happy to see you back on KZbin Continue two set violin Please don't quit

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

[@bertthecanadiand8137]

Love these kinds of videos so much😂😂

[@CP-tq7id]

For most big budget movies, in order to work as a principle actor you must be a member of the actors union . In the United States it’s SAG-AFTRA, I’m not sure about other countries. It’s not as easy as “just hire a professional musician” though I’m sure it’s not impossible. I agree with you guys here though. This is awful

[@ahamilton4021]

1000000% on everything, including the jazz analysis at the end. Super appreciate the honest reactions! 🎉

[@RobertGolden-ug4lt]

Welcome back! April 1 post was so sad!!

[@user-hz6sf2if4h]

I am more than grateful it was just a joke. Thank you twoset for not abandoning us. this video just lifted me up.

[@jansonsynder]

I beg to differ about the ring. My wedding band has very thin edges. I can completely close my fingers. Not everyone can play, but I've not been hindered for all of my 28 years of wearing it. And yeah, 1st thing I saw was the bow😬

[@CopShowGuy]

I have a decently thick ring and I still find it comfortable to play with it on. Everyone I've asked says it's just a personal preference to play with or without.

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

To be fair, the ring he wears in the movie is very big! But I get your point...

[@Casutama]

I was hoping you'd cover this film!

[@kht4610]

It would be amazing having a classical movie with you guys as consultants,I would love to watch it again and again ❤

[@Lqviolin2]

You should look at "Music of the Heart" with Meryl Streep. She played the violin in her youth.

[@brianhawkins8397]

I remember seeing this film as an in-flight option. Was intrigued by the poster, so I watched the trailer. Saw “Stiff City” and noped right out of it to something else.

[@amandas.6500]

I've been waiting for this review! I enjoyed the movie, but it was no Amadeus. I didn't catch the inaccuracies that you did, & you barely scratched the surface of the movie. Good to hear your take as always! ❤❤

[@jj22arc90]

I’m so happy to watch new Twoset content more regularly

[@MathOverChemistry]

Watching Twoset while practicing is something else fr

[@PassionPno]

It has already been done. David Garrett as Paganini, bruv.

[@e2pii213]

actually he SAVED that movie:-)

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

If I remember well, that's one of the only two movies (out of the dozens they've reviewed) that actually had a real violinist as the lead role...

[@johnchessant3012]

yay twoset is back!

[@shu8n]

yayy another uploadd

[@sabrinai]

Shortest hiatus ever 😉

[@kristopherwilson506]

It’s called April Fool’s

[@jAujAl1]

The Devil's Violinist got it right. Paganini was played by David Garett, and he's unsurprisingly great in that role. His rendition of Caprice 24 in this movie is one of the best performances I've seen of this song, and also a fun scene on its own.

[@phineas1117]

And the orchestra part was an original arrangement by David Garett too

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

They reviewed that movie a few years ago. Mostly praised this scene of David playing Pag 24, even if of course they nitpick some details. They're the Violin Detectives after all... 😄

[@jennifersilves4195]

This is so wonderful!

[@margretabroad4873]

Great video. Thank you. 😂❤

[@da__lang]

There is a Two Set movie in the works. I hear that the lead actors have each had three months of violin lessons. Should be fun!

[@DobroSC2]

it would be funny if the real sounds of them playing the violin were heard in the film

[@bota7763]

Twoset did it on another video and it is awesome! Look for : The WORST Violin Movie Acting We've Ever Seen

[@sewsinthedark]

I'm glad I found you guys. I always wondered if in movies the actors are really doing what that are portraying so it's nice to have you guys to clean up some of that mess.

[@LilPotatoSoup]

I was waiting for y'all to review this movie 😆

[@dalerorex1416]

How ecstatic I am that you guys did not quit YT!

[@toric6005]

I like the costume design 😂😂😂😂 still hoping they’ll look at Mozart in the Jungle! Maybe the episode with the Sebalius Violin concerto. Or the episode where they “watch Ling Ling play”😜

[@billcook4768]

Loved Mozart in the Jungle. But, yeah, when the conductor tells the concertmaster to perform the Sibelius on the spot was, um, just a wee bit unrealistic.
