SOMEWHERE - WEST SIDE STORY COVER  

 Qu’importe ou comment, un jour, quelque part… Les êtres qui ont la sincère envie de mettre en place ce qu’ils possèdent de pur dans leur coeur dans la matière trouveront l’endroit qui leur est destiné Tout est question de Foi, de croire en son coeur, car c’est lui qui est la connexion directe avec ce que l’on appelle Le Divin. 

Et malgré toutes les turbulences que l’on traverse, que ce soit au point de vue Individuel ou collectif, l’ombre ne prend la place que l’on veut bien lui accorder.  Tout est une question de choix, Il n’y a pas de mauvais choix, il y a des choix et ce sont eux qui déterminent le chemin que ton âme, et donc toi veut prendre.  La violence et la peur déferlent actuellement, mais l’amour est dans le coeur de chacun … Puisse tu faire le meilleur choix pour t’elever au plus haut de ton potentiel d’incarnation  


J’ai trouvé que cette chanson faisait relever le côté positif de tous ces questionnements que chaque être sur cette planète peut avoir et qui est légitime  Chanson de la comédie musicale WEST SIDE STORY composée par Leonard Bernstein

West Side Story - Somewhere

Bradley Cooper, who also directed, co-wrote, and produced "Maestro," plays celebrated composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein. The film follows Bernstein from his unexpected Carnegie Hall debut to the autumn years of his life. It's Cooper's second film as a director, after 2018's luscious remake of "A Star Is Born." He took on the responsibility of portraying Bernstein with excitement and gratitude. "'In A Star Is Born,' the nuclear weapon was always Lady Gaga's voice," said Cooper. "For 'Maestro' I figured it was mine to mess up because I had a nuclear weapon and that's Leonard Bernstein's music. Just the breadth of it, how diverse it is, and how moving it is."

Following the screening, Deadline's chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on KCET's Must See Movies, moderates a Q&A with co-stars Carey Mulligan and Matt Bomer.

The Best Films Of 2023

Díjeső-várományos sikerfilm, elképesztő erényekkel és gyomorszorító jelenetekkel. Bősze Ádám zenetörténész a nagy zenészek nagy szerelmeinek szakértője, így ezért (is) közösen néztük meg a MAESTRO című életrajzi filmet Leonard Bernsteinről. A főszereplők: Carey Mulligan és Bradley Cooper, utóbbi rendezte is. Azért felmerülnek súlyos morális kérdések is...
A Klasszik rádió 92.1 Gondolatkertészet című műsorának podcast-változata.

MAESTRO - A Leonard Bernstein életrajzi film Bősze Ádámmal

For this week's third podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Alyssa Christian & Danilo Castro. Today, we are reviewing the second directorial effort from Academy Award-nominee Bradley Cooper with "Maestro," starring Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Sarah Silverman, Matt Bomer, Josh Hamilton & Maya Hawke. A Netflix biopic less about the music of world-renowned conductor Leonardo Bernstein and more about his marriage with Felicia Montealegre, the film marks an artistic leap for Cooper both in front and behind the camera as he deploys many classical filmmaking tricks to take us through decades of an artists life. What did we think of the story, writing, performances, cinematography, sound, and makeup used to age the characters? Tune in as we discuss these elements, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!

#422 - Because Here... They Are

IT’S OSCAR SEASON FOLKS and there’s a bitter buzz in the air about who got nominated and who didn’t but our side theme this month has us watching the remainder of the best picture nominees that we have yet to discuss. We talk about some rather forced cultural commentary surrounding the Barbie nominations and what exactly that commentary means. Then we get into one of this year’s THIRSTIEST movies nominated by the Academy and it seems like proper Oscar bait from, maybe, 25 years ago. It seems like the ultra dramatic side universe of Bradley Cooper directing himself is just getting started and what a nice little terrarium Mr. Cooper has built for himself. It’s called “MAESTRO” and it stars Bradley Cooper & Carey Mulligan. Cooper plays the American Composer, Leonard Bernstein, and examines the relationship between the homosexual Leonard and his beard/wife, Felicia Montealegre with so much concentration and minimal emotional resonance. This movie makes Barbie seem restrained. Truly.

Maestro’s Oscar Nominations are:
Best Picture
Best Actor in a Leading Role
Best Actress in a Leading Role
Original Screenplay
Best Cinematography
Best Makeup and Hairstyling
Best Sound

Maestro (2023) + Oscar Talk

Originalmente do musical West Side Story

Composição: Leonard Bernstein e Stephen Sondheim
Tradução e vocal: Lu Noronha

Maria

We find Maestro, Bradley Cooper's latest actor-director star vehicle, which dramatises the life of iconic conductor Leonard Bernstein, to be dishonest, illustrative, and superficial Oscar bait. We also find it cinematically ambitious at times, with great production values - not many films of this type are being made with $80 million budgets. A mixed bag.

Recorded on 1st February 2024.

A podcast by NextBestPicture.com that reviews the latest film releases and discusses various topics within the world of film and the awards race.

We talk about movies old and new while hanging out for a couple of drinks in a bar.

"I have this romantic idea of the movies as a conjunction of place, people and experiences, all different for each of us, a context in which individual and separate beings try to commune, where the individual experience overlaps with the communal and where that overlapping is demarcated by how we measure the differing responses between ourselves and the rest of the audience: do they laugh when we don’t (and what does that mean?); are they moved when we feel like laughing (and what does that say about me or the others) etc. The idea behind this podcast is to satiate the urge I sometimes have when I see a movie alone – to eavesdrop on what others say. What do they think? How does their experience compare to mine? Snippets are overhead as one leaves the cinema and are often food for thought. A longer snippet of such an experience is what I hope to provide: it’s two friends chatting immediately after a movie. It’s unrehearsed, meandering, slightly convoluted, certainly enthusiastic, and well informed, if not necessarily on all aspects a particular work gives rise to, certainly in terms of knowledge of cinema in general and considerable experience of watching different types of movies and watching movies in different types of ways. It’s not a review. It’s a conversation." - José Arroyo.

"I just like the sound of my own voice." - Michael Glass.
