Wicked | What Is This Feeling

[@PokeRedstone]

Yknow. I will say its a relief to see a modern musical movie that isn't embarrassed that its a musical.

[@amorojaz27]

Not disagreeing, but what movies would you say are embarrassed?

[@NatureMage]

​@@amorojaz27Dear Evan Hansen is a great example. It removes choreography, changes songs from ensemble performances to a single character singing and nobody acknowledging the song, etc. Basically every number in the movie removed the theater influences and fun. The song with Connor is the only exception.

For me it kinda ruined it, the song is quite literally a joke about their relationship feeling like a romcom-to-be but the bickering from the start ruins the punchline of letting the audience know that the feeling is actually loathing (since at first what they describe means to resemble a crush)

This movie is amazing. I never saw the original "Wicked" so I honestly thought that Elphaba was the bad one. I was shocked!!! I'm in the theater like ohhhh she's going to be bad after the whole party scene lol. I was so emotional when she started to fly, like tears was streaming down my face. I will definitely watch it again and again, it was pure magic and emotional. Both Cynthia and Ariana did a fantastic job and I hope they take home many awards this season.

But do you guys even realize the technical skills that went into this? This is musical theater shot like a music video.

This is a movie masterpiece. This is true art!

[@anthonyd5563]

THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING!

[@kxradio]

Absolutely right! One could analyze each scene from so many different perspectives and still find more to discover! From the camera blocking, to the sound mixing, to the set design, the lighting in every shot, and every detail in the choreography, to individual performances of even background players. It baffles the mind how so many different elements could come together. I remember how people would say, “I’m not going to see this because I don’t like (insert name of actor)” or some other nitpicky aspect, when in reality this is a work that’s so much greater. To say that it was ambitious and that they pulled it off is such an understatement. I can’t wait to actually buy a copy so I can watch it again and again and unwrap the many layers of filmmaking. I hope it’s in conversations for awards.

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

I think this shows how you can adapt a song from stage to screen and improve on it. This is what all adaptations should strive to be, instead of worrying about who they're pandering to, like some movie musicals I could mention, both ones from ten years ago and from less than a year ago.

[@yuno_magic]

I agree wholeheartedly. I personally think the instrumental and beats in the movie version of this song are better than the musical version

[@hardcandy9880]

Yeah in the musical, this song was one of the underrated ones. It didnt reach the same fame as Popular or Drfying Gravity. But in the film, it's everyone's fave. The only thing I wish they brought here from the stage is how all the schoolmates ran behind Galinda during "we're all on your" and did a small jump righ at the "side". It was so cool.

[@ReyntiensDanny]

The musical works much better as a film. I never had to urge to see the show for a second time, but I do want to see the film again and again.

[@eventolunar]

I love how they made the hatred glinda and elphaba feel for each other look so FUN AND BEAUTIFUL

[@frankfrank366]

Somehow they made it look even more psychosexual and lesbonic than the stage show

[@luna732]

I'm especially a fan of the annoyance of Galinda turning on the light late at night, or the fighting over a seat (with Galinda having support from other classmates), the way they use the medium to spread the song over a period of time really lets us see a daily life of bickering and mutual hatred, and it's so much fun how it manages to have just the right amount of camp to be joyful while still looking great

[@PardonSylver]

This was the reason I was absolutely furious as a teen when those lackey punks joined in to suck up to Glinda. Their hatred felt really personal and, to the audience, comedic considering how it's basically misidentified infatuation and then these twerps ruin it

[@vikiirnawenzel1722]

This song leans heavily into musical theater trope of two characters falling in love. The first few verses, until they actually say the word "loathing" sound exactly like the stereotypical falling in love song of dozens of musical theater productions. 😂

It is just the musical in movie form. Movies should be able to stand on their own. This movie only works if you know Wicked already. This movie breaks no new grounds. Everything is played safe. EDIT: I get it now. They are beautiful, talented singers. But the characters have no chemistry beyond being able to sing well. The special effects, makeup, and wardrobe are perfect for... a Disney ride. I love these actors but it seems so fake. I can only blame the director and writers, I wish they didn't play it safe. Like what are people going to do, NOT like Wicked because of this? Take a chance guys, this is timeless material that people will always love! But they making MILLIONS anyway, they ain't listening to me.

In a show maybe you pick just having this play out in a classroom or a cafeteria or a courtyard but here we get to have all of these settings and more and its just phenomenal.

[@zaddyfaye6880]

this is one of the only musical adaptations that's made sense to me, because of how grandiose the visuals could potentially be (due to the setting) but were previously unable to fully-explore to the creatives' full potential due to the technical limitations brought forth by the medium; unlike an adaptation like the mean girls one, wherein it being adapted did little to add to the show beyond just introducing renee rapp to a larger audience. i'm so glad to see that the filmmakers really embraced this, and went all out with the visuals - from the scenery, to the choreography, to the costuming. it's all so gloriously-camp and over-the-top

[@meetmeonmars]

I CANNOT GET OVER THE GENIUS SOUND DESIGN. Little things like at 1:50 where they have that one chorus member a little louder than everyone else puts your ass RIGHT IN THE SCENE. You have such a strong sense of presence throughout the entire thing. Audio design 11/10, absolutely breathtaking. Their foley artists went absolutely ballistic.

[@sbc571]

Fun fact: that voice is Alyssa Fox, the broadway Elphaba for the 20th Anniversary cast! (She shared that on her instagram 😻) she was invited to do vocals for the movie Soundtrack ❤❤❤

[@luna732]

I was noticing that too! It's really cool because it's easy to think a voice coming through more than others in the chorus would be a negative but it's still so balanced with the other noises that it doesn't take you out of the song at all, it really brings you further in imo. Maybe it's because I saw it in the theaters and it reminds me of hearing one chorus member a bit more clearly than the others but it really does make me feel so much more engaged in the scene, almost like being there, it (paired with other audio details) just makes the entire thing feel so alive

[@meghanmcdowell8831]

so true!! or the way that when the extras are featured in frame they are louder than ari and cynthia but only on breaks between their vocals and it doesn't overpower. the sync timing is impeccable. plus you can hear an echo when they walk into the cafeteria, versus them singing outside it's more clear. not to mention all the small foley additions like you said. it's all the incredible little details that seem obvious but they make the scene that much more immersive and complete!

[@brianives4369]

@@sbc571Thank you for mentioning this. I saw that she mentioned it on Insta, and I thought I was going crazy because no one else has been talking about it! But that’s so obviously her voice. The amount of love for the stage version that’s baked into every detail of this movie is incredible.

[@glinda_rose]

Can we talk about these Shiz students please, because the ensemble did a PHENOMENAL job and I love that the movie gave them a chance to shine by letting Elphie and Glinda sit there and sing while all the students rocked out around them. They had so much conviction, they had me hooked! I keep re-watching the video to catch more fun stuff that they did. So many little moments in there and they look like they're having the best time.

[@EMPALMSURECON-ew2jv]

At 2:48 Glinda does this little gut punch motion looking up at Elphaba and Morrible - to me that's the entire crux of the song. Glinda might be winning with her fellow students, but elphaba is winning where it counts by becoming a sorceress. It's such a gut punch it knocks Glinda out of singing and back to reality. It rattles her and she goes from being uncomfortable with elphaba to actually intimidated by her. Further driving glindas need to bully her roommate. That along with how the shot is framed is excellent. Elphaba is in the top left corner of the screen while Glinda is beneath her and to the bottom right. Their contrasting postions and the shot says everything we need to know without saying a word.

[@kelownatechkid]

Wow, thanks for pointing out that detail!

[@violetbui141]

Not only that, but all of their "battles" throughout the song end up with elphaba in a better position than glinda, or equal. Their sparring - elphaba overpowers glinda In the cafeteria - elphaba looks smug while glinda looks uncomfortable In the classroom - both get seats equally at the front of the class And technically their room - Elphaba gets a comfy spot all to herself, with Glinda having to make room for her (and also the jump scare at the end i guess)
