Petition to get Brett and Eddy to feature in a movie!

Yes
What's movie? Fifty shades of violin?

I like how there were literally only two movies
Sam Stonick They could’ve picked “Titanic”, “The Karate kid 2010”, or “Your Lie In April Live Action”. Well, the Live action one had an actress who hasn’t played violin before, but I guess that they hired a DOUBLE in MOST of the Clips in the Violin Scenes.
Ikr
Arianna Cunningham yes! Karate Kid. I’m so glad someone mentioned this. I hope there’ll be more movies with ACTUAL violin playing tho sjaldjslskakka..... anyone has any recommendation aside from movies that portray violin playing?
Copyright I would imagine
They only needed ten minuets to get that sweet SWEET add revenue.
The Chinese boy cried probably because he had to do so many takes of the same piece
or his dad kung pao-ed his chicken.
or he's irritated by that excessive amount of rosin

appreciation comment for twoset’s editor
👇🏼
Cheers to your editor for throwing in the minuet to f*** with RUclips because honestly this video totally counts as fair use. It is so wrong that their auto flagging system screws with legitimate reviews.
This is why WIRED didn't interview you guys - you already do what they do, but with better editing
Anyone know what piece they used at 0:00

Good news, he was joking.

I don't know if they did it, there is a violin fight scene with Lestat on Queen of the damned.
Hyperbole. When you say one thing and mean the other.
I actually watched that Chinese movie. It's about a single guy who adopted a baby abandoned at a train station, next to a violin. And he paid to have his son learn the violin. It was a very moving story.
What is it called?
@@Mycorrhiza Did you watch the video?

It's called Together, or 和你在一起, a 2002 陳凱歌movie, dude's last good one, who also made 霸王別姬, another awesome movie about Beijing Opera.

This comment is sooo underrated

Woah, we got the same pfp!
Teaching a musician how to act is easier than teaching an actor to play an instrument.
Absolutely!
Absolutely, especially when it comes to time restraints. It takes years and years of practice to become proficient on an instrument but only a few lessons spread out across a few weeks to attain somewhat of decent acting skills
Yeah
I agree, and also because musicians are more sensitive to emotions (through musical training) and do not shy away from expressing them. I think they would have more potential in acting.
As long as they don't fall into the "Kevin Costner School of Theatrics"!! There ARE several musicians in movie history that just didn't make it over that hump of "Acting is Believing".
I know im late, but i was an extra in that paganini scene,
it was filmed in two days, so David must have played this piece like a hundred times,
and he nailed it. Every. Time.
So yeah, bad editing. There also wasn't that much screaming on set, most of it is edited in
Ahhh.... thanks for this information. I literally discovered David Garrett when I stumbled upon that movie.
You can't even begin to imagine how jealous I am... Wow! I love David . Must have been amazing seeing/hearing him
I had a feeling when they say "look at him, he can act, he cried!", is like the equivalent of us musicians hearing people say "He can play flight of the bumblebee, he's so good!" lol
Poor Little Sheep as an acting student when they said that my heart stopped for a moment
as a musician AND an actor i can say that’s the best analogy i’ve ever heard
They were probably joking
Flight of the bumblebee is pretty Damn hard tho
It actually was very good acting regardless though
He was crying because no matter how good he is he will never be LingLing
EDIT: Omy thanks for the ♥ TwoSet
I really expected some inside on the movie
Or was he a she?
@@hazimesahe good question
He is lingling
C mamut el vato
My mom just said that David Garrett is the most beautiful man she's ever seen 😂
Your mom is right.
Well, not quite the most beautiful, but certainly the most charming musician... so charming that, once, when he played the Thaikovsky Concerto, I couldn't even hear what , or how he played it, because of his face's expression, and smile...( the chronicles afterwards were not that good about his playing, but I didn' t care, as long as I was , anyway, charmed by his looks...)
Another mom here who wholeheartedly agrees with your mom 😁
My mom use to have an obsession with him about 2 years ago. After work she would always listen to him on the TV till bed time. Now she’s over him but has other obsessions 😅
On god he is literally a dream man. Like if someone asked me to describe my ideal type it would basically be david garret. He is SO FINE.
Fun fact: most of the music from the movie is actually Garrett... He played all the violins and composed some of the score.
What's the piece at 8:58, please?
@@theanhnguyen5445 I think it's from Paganini's 24 Caprices. Theme and Variation?
@@theanhnguyen5445 It is luigi boccherini's minuetto.
@@felixho5322 lmao
David G. himself said he won't act anymore. He realised he is a musician and not an actor. 👏
Self-awareness/10
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia critics helped him a little on the way.
One kinda funny story was: the actual actors in this movie were told to not act as good as they usually could so davids bad acting doesn't stick out that much.
@@VivaLaBunga wth xD
Oh well. He did his job already. And that's enough
Read this comment before watching the part about him, so this freaked me out a bit.
Me: Am I at the wrong channel? Where’s the roast for today?
Also me: [5 minutes later] Yup I’m at the right place.
@Kathriel Perales
This guy and a bunch of friends (or fake accounts, I don't know) have been spamming TwoSet comment section for three weeks now. They're trying to promote another channel.
Many people (including me) have reported them.
Not disappointed 🙌🏻
The roast is at you for not practicing!
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia I reported them as well! This is so annoying.
This is honestly how i felt with Coco and guitar. They had actual guitarist play the music and then animated Miguel based off the players and it was RIGHT! And as a guitarist that makes the whole world of a difference. They even got the proper playing style too since each style has different adjustments and holds and stuff and it was super impressive!
Was I the only one who was worried about Garret’s hair getting stuck in the bow?
Nope😂
I love the editor.
Katarzyna Dziubińska ikr!!!
I''m absolutely in love with their commentary
Actually. The editing makes twoset videos funnier. Kudos to the editor. He shld be applauded too
yes! petition for the editor to "take part" more
Do you think the editor plays an instrument?
brett and eddy: "it's the editors fault"
their editor: *:(*
Alyssia Gibbs awwwwwww :(
TO BE FAIR... The editors job is more about picking the right frames to begin and end a clip on for maximum pacing, beauty, and emotional impact. Having the shot match exactly what's being heard in the music is actually not a priority. You're not supposed to pay attention to that.
Lemme timestamp this
4:44
Did anyone else get literally chills when watching the boy play that first piece?
@Playergartoon94 Dabs I'm confused, the boy was playing Tchaikovsky, not Sibelius...
@Playergartoon94 Dabs
Ha ha, don't worry, it happens to me all the time. I was listening to Mendelssohn the other day, and my mom asked me what that piece was. I very confidently answered that it was Sibelius' Violin Concerto ! It took a good 5 minutes for my brain to realize there was something wrong with what I had just said... 😂
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia can you tell me the name of the piece
@@ikaru5089 That's Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto (3rd mvt).
My family friend is the great violin legend who recorded the entire soundtrack for this movie. The actor is indeed a violinist but none of it was his actual playing. Li Chuan Yun is the master virtuoso behind this soundtrack. He was one of the three legendary virtuosoes who shot to stardom along with Lang Lang and Li Yun Di. An unbelievable genius - you have to youtube his performances and be smacked across the face by his brilliance.
The women's screams during Paganini's playing - I think they are a reference to some of the legend about his deal with the devil, that he would imprison souls of women in his violin which could be heard screaming while he played
So basically fan girls for pop stars or rockstars today.
Sometimes I think that the screaming was probably Paganini's soul.
Paganini used to practice 15 hours a day when he was a child (he started playing at 7 years), he send a letter to his close friend rossini saying that its really sad that people consider hard work and pain as a devil’s work
EDIT : its 22/10, happy birthday franz liszt!!, and thank you for the likes.

I am so glad you did 'Together" You really need to watch the whole movie...it is so special.
The scene you showed is the very end of the movie. The boy has turned down playing the big concert in favor of staying with his father.
He was 'hearing' the orchestra but playing in the train station for his father.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Please watch the whole thing... you will love it.
Any idea where to watch it?
What was the violinist's name?
@@divyap4357 His name is 唐韵(Yun Tang). He was a student of the Affiliated Middle School of Shanghai Music Conservatory when this movie was made.

It's not a projector, its a limelight. Two fuels and a large amount of pressurized oxygen were pumped onto a mineral block made of lime and limestone dust and set alight. All this was backed with a parabolic reflector. The heat of the combustion was very bright, but still was too too skewed toward the red end of the spectrum. Once the lime block heated up, it would emit blue and violet light to make a balance of colors similar to sunlight.
This is an underrated comment!
I was an extra in the Devil's Violinist in the scene featured in this video. I can tell you that David Garrett really did play in every take, but they had a pre-recorded track that they synched the movie with. The recorded track was playing quite loudly while filming, so we could only hear a little of what he was playing live. The timing might have been a little off for that reason. Also, I was standing right next to the door when Paganini swooped in, and the director specifically instructed us (the audience) to all turn towards him immediately as he started playing. A few people seem to turn too soon, maybe because they used take no 5 or something and we were anticipating his grand entrance. I'm also glad I wasn't picked to be a screaming fan, that was way over the top ;)
Best part of filming was an hour-long set change where David Garrett stayed on stage and played Bach's Chaconne and other things to pass the time.
Oh, and the entire orchestra could in fact play (except for the panicking concert master), but since they also played to the pre-recorded track, they didn't even bother to tune their instruments properly. It sounded quite horribly off key.
Wow that must have been a cool experience!
that's cool
Oh! Are you that one beard guy beside the door, because as what you said the audience turn too fast, and I was guessing you did not. And the guy that I was talking did not turn too fast, so ye I was guessing it was you 😅😂
@@woopywop lol no, I'm a girl and was wearing a dark blue dress with a white collar. You can't see me in the deep shadows beside the door, I was somewhere behind the bearded guy. Another fun tidbit is that every audience member is in four different places at once because they filmed the auditorium in segments, there weren't enough extras to fill the theater, so we switched places a lot and filmed the scene several times from different angles. In that scene, I was in the shadows next to the door, standing somewhere in the middle, and sitting in a box on the left and a balcony on the right, simultaneously.
In this video, you can see me if you pause at 5:36 exactly, above David Garrett's left hand behind a grey-bearded gentleman.
@@kathilisi3019 Ow HAHA, SORRY ABOUT MY WRONG CONCLUSION, I ALSO THOUGHT YOU ARE A GUY AHAHHAA 😂🤦
5:14 that did happen, Paganini used to smoke cigars and women would pick up the ashes and put them in their medallions; even after getting married they kept the pendants. Women fainted at the sight of him even on the street. He was one of the first musicians to be accused of making a deal with the devil; he died without the last rites.
He did encourage the image, wearing all black, riding in a black carriage pulled by all black horses. His greatest tour in London featured him actually diving off the stage directly onto the carriage.
I believe his body was properly buried later though.
First emo/rock star, having tons of groupies, partying, commiting some crimes, showing off on stage, just being genius...
Just about to put this saved me the effort but I love the fact that by age 13ish he was up there with the best violinists in Europe.
Was he the inspiration for the character Frederick Pope in the Red Violin, I wonder?
Damn. Neat little portion of history, I thank you.
Hey Twoset! I'm a featured extra in Tv & Film, where I'm mostly hired for my musical abilities [or to mime them]. I can tell you from experience of how/why musicians dont sync up most of the time, as the reality is in filming: Their job is to capture pictures [not audio] - thats someone elses department [which are seldom on set and are more post production]. Most times, you aren't even given the music [no feel, no tempo, no sheet music, no... nothing!] where you're just told to mime, though I have been apart of productions that gave sheet music but during filming - they might do a couple of take with the music playing in the background for you to sync up with [causing fractional delays], but the most difficult part is having to remember what bar the director said cut, and from which bar you begin on 'pick up' [basically, you have to cue the bars to the movements/what is happening in the scene] - so a good example is when the violinist is walking through the crowd [you picked up the slide at a different point] - where this comes down to the editing [as you have a person concerned only with what it looks like editing the visuals] not the individual performer.
The only instance in which you are able to see note for note play, is when an Actor is used and they *physically* record the piece and where it is indicative of the character to break into song as part of their dialogue/direction in the film/tv series. It takes alot of time to reherse as well as even longer to get right in filming - which is why it's tended to be brushed over and not focused on in the filming process [which is a shame to witness as a musician]. Hope this provides some incite into the process, thank you for your videos and inspiration to get practicing. Cariad fawr o Gymru - Much love from Wales x
ComeRee Am Bith....as in Cymru am byth? Genuinely thought I'd forgotten all my Welsh after secondary school, haha
Thanks for highlighting the "other side" of these situations! Believe me, I understand the frustration as an audience member, but I also understand the reality of the situation as a filmmaker and editor. Given infinite time and infinite budget, things like this wouldn't happen so much, but film is first and foremost a _business,_ and schedules must be kept. If you're shooting a solo for 12 hours and it's just not working, at some point, the person signing the checks is going to say, "look, it's good enough, 99% of people won't even notice, let's move on" (and the harsh truth is they're right 👀). The movie has to be finished or it doesn't matter how great the solo is... nobody will ever see it. If you run out of money to shoot the ending because you spent 3 more days on the solo, good luck ever getting anyone to finance another of your movies.
And the simple fact is, for every thing "wrong" with the musical portions of these videos, there is something else "wrong" or historically inaccurate with the production design, wardrobe, makeup, etc. (or just technical mistakes with lighting, audio, acting, continuity, etc.) that Brett & Eddy didn't notice because they were paying attention to the music lol! I promise, no filmmaker _wants_ to make a bad movie, but it's a lot like an orchestra... lots of moving parts, lots of people, lots of individual & ensemble performances, lots of equipment to set up and use properly, etc. = lots of room for error. One out-of-tune piccolo shriek and nobody will talk about the rest of the performance, they'll say, "ugh, did you hear that piccolo??"
I was somehow more distracted by the love interest’s makeup in the last one. 😅 Her tan cream foundation was creasing in a time where it didn’t exist.
Fashion History Lesson!:
It most likely would’ve been pure white powder (there were cakes too, but it wouldn’t have had that finish or coloring). Basing everything off Late Regency Era(let’s say 1820s): The blush is good, but it should probably be a bit stronger (you wanted to look flush). The lips are good, as are the brows and eyes from what this amateur can see. The hair I’m unsure of. Regency was known to recall Ancient Greek hairstyles like the chignon with face-framing curls or the pull-ups you see on statues. Having the hair in free, perfect curls with no chignon or containment save for a few flowers? Idk, seems pretty sus to me. Maybe mid to late 1840s, and I just can’t see the chignon? But since “the Devil’s Violinist” was dead by that point.... all in all, it’s serviceable, just like the violin-playing.
And that concludes your Fashion History Lesson of the foreseeable future!
"The recordings on youtube were all badly synched so we bought the movie"
Watch it and realize it's actually the movie who is badly synched -_-'

The child actor Tang Yun is a talented violinist and graduated from Colburn.

@@Oscitant_Otter to be fair when fighting cqc unless you're trained specifically to fight as a group at the same time you'll cause more harm than good, swords arent small, all their power comes from the swings/thrust, a LOT of opportunity for friendly fire.

@@MrsWheezer woah just looked it up that's so cool!!
“He can act, he’s crying” is like saying “he can play, look, he has a bow”
That first movie, Together, is my favorite film about a musician I’ve ever seen. Brett and Eddie should absolutely see it. Not only is it a touching movie but the realism in being a young musician is so incredibly accurate both on and off stage.
Let me point out how important is to have an EDITOR that understands music as well!
Editor-san is that you :0
Yes! They always cut and paste at the most random moments because they have no idea how the piece goes. It’s very weird, every time.
@@rainawelch6950 What do you mean? I haven't noticed that. (Also, I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that editor-san plays cello, not sure about the truth or falsity of that.)
Lol your comment has paganini's number of likes!
@@InfluxDecline I think they were talking about the person (or people) in charge of editing/audio for The Devils Violinist since the audio didn’t line up :)
The cheering in the Paganini movie seems incorrect, but that’s actually accurate! I’m taking music history right now at Uni and classical concerts back then were more similar to modern rock concerts, in a way. People did cheer and clap at times that seem inappropriate to us now.
Besides the cheering, the concert was actually portrayed pretty modern. The modern quiet concert developed towards the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century. There should’ve been a lot more talking and moving around for it to be historically accurate ;)
I remember a story about Haydn 94th being written with the sole purpose of telling off chatting ladies in the front or something along those lines
So you mean classical music concert more fluid and fun back then than now....hmmmm
Also, the baton and the size of the orchestra is accurate
It was like Lisztomania, but for a violinist with otherworldy skills for the time.
Imagine what groupies were like back then, hmmmmmmmmmm? 🧐
8:00 a girl was looking down her phone or something, looks up then head down again.
Also, I love that the 18th century version of live-tweeting a concert is using your perfect pitch to quickly write down sheet music of the piece.
Can we take a moment to talk about the rosin dust on the first guy’s instrument!? I have never seen rosin on an instrument in a movie! He was ACTUALLY playing and playing with enough movement to make that happen. I don’t know why it makes me so happy but it’s very satisfying.
Also if you watch it carefuly, towards the end, some hair broke off from his bow as well, which is also quite realistic.
I was also super impressed by that! Glad you pointed it out! It really shows how much attention they put on the details! In an earliear scene in the movie where he played the same piece with the orchestra, his violin was shinning under the stage light. I guess they filmed the last scene differently on purpose to show how much emotion he had while playing.
@@jingj5744 that wasnt him with the orchestra, that was another girl who was said in the movie to not have passion for music unlike the main. That's why you only see her during the orchestral part and see him during solo
@@zewensenpai thanks for the reply! I didn't mean the girl. It was an earlier scene where the boy "rehearsed" with the orchestra (?) and his teacher went on stage and pat his head...maybe that scene was in the deleted scene edit lol
guys what piece is at 2:07 im sorry i just forgot a lot of great famous pieces
"Paganini: the world's *first* rockstar"
Did you all forget about me, tho?
guess so
Who?
What about Vivaldi? Bach?
Broski who?
@@jonnymario771 couldn't be becoz of life circumstances. Both Vivaldi and JS Bach lived by getting employment (patrons) thru commissions and working as "official" music directors for nobles. It was almost the same as with Mozart. Many believe that it was Beethoven who actually broke that system in a prominent way by operating as a "free agent" or "freelancer" which would allow him more artistic freedom, he is his own boss so to speak. From then on, a musician/composer's chief source of income would be selling and performing his compositions. I think this is how the Romantic period musicians like Chopin and Liszt got their "rock star" status, thru their magnificent music and performances.
Not only does that Together film have an actual violinist, but the way it's shot is so simple yet so effective. You don't have to do a lot to bring out the emotion in the song, just cut to the rhytmn let the musician bring out the emotion as they play, get the soundtrack right, and you're set. So easy, but movies with way bigger budgets can't even do that!
Yeah case in point is the second movie. Grandiose set design, but the way it was filmed was so cheesy.
My family friend is the great violin legend who recorded the entire soundtrack for this movie. The actor is indeed a violinist but none of it was his actual playing. Li Chuan Yun is the master virtuoso behind this soundtrack. He was one of the three legendary virtuosoes who shot to stardom along with Lang Lang and Li Yun Di. An unbelievable genius - you have to youtube his performances and be smacked across the face by his brilliance.
How have you guys not done a video on the best violin movie of all time “Red Violin” yet. Violin acting was super solid. And the music created for it was badass.
I got a bit of anxiety when his long hair kept coming closer and closer to the strings "is it going to get snapped by the bow?" "is it going to get tangled in the strings?"
I thought this too I'm surprised they didn't mention it!
@@Ramberta They were more focused on the playing than the hair 😂
For real though, I think he actually sold his soul to the devil just so that his hair wouldn't get tangled between his violin's strings... I mean, my hair gets tangled in the guitar so... Imagine how it'd be like if I played violin with my hair let down...
I have long hair and play the violin. It's never gotten tangled, it just brushes off. The worst that's happened is that it's actually sounded off the string (like bow hair), but that's only really audible on electric violin (yes, I play both acoustic and electric).
@@Neophage Exactly I also had long hair and no problem with that. plenty of great violinists who play with long hair, Jerry Goodman and Didier Lockwood come to mind.
There's a good video on RUclips of Goodman playing violin love with his band The Flock, his hair gets all over the violin, but alas, nothing happens at all.
It’s 2019, anything can happen.

limelight, first theatrical spotlight, also a popular term for the incandescent calcium oxide light invented by Thomas Drummond in 1816. Limelight was first used for indoor stage illumination in the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1837 and enjoyed widespread use in theatres around the world.
As someone who's studied several different martial arts, everything you mentioned about it not being distracting holds true.

Here’s one: Ling Ling got Paganini’s soul back from the devil

True btw
This is how many hours Ling Ling practices a day

23 hours 1 more its gonna be 24 hours Ling ling must be tired

David Garrett brought me here, a year ago.. Have been a TwoSetter ever since
Haha...me too.
For the first movie, the boy is a real violinist, but the record was from a older famous violinist Chuanyun Li. The conductor and the orchestra are also real onesa. So everything looks real...Hahaha
Who is the sacrilegious peasant that dislikes this video???
All the roasted Asian actors
Ben Lee did
Ben Lee, Vov Dylan and all the other sacreligious players
AGT members did
IDK, some people just dont like twoset
The dislikes are the fake musicians that didnt get hired😂😂😂😂
Or they promised applause but it became a roast
The ones feeling guilty about not practicing
Cough cough vov dylan and ben lee
The costumesssssssss, they are not accurateeeee. Like they aren’t horrible but there are some specific things that are wrong. It’s so hard to watch movies as someone who notices little things because it’s just like “ahhh the musicians are wrong- ah the clothes- ah that’s not how science works”
That is soo true... You just can't concentrate to the plot!!
@@mrs.smith123 every movie! Lmao
One of my favourite "non-musician" violin performances was Daniel Brühl in Ladies in Lavender (actual track played by Joshua Bell). Apparently the orchestra he played with actually applauded him for how passionately and well he played.
Fact: You haven’t watched this entire video yet

Ehh yes
ok but can you imagine brett crying when he plays tchaik concerto like that first guy?
Eddy would be laughing so hard in the background that Brett would not be able to.
Dembai then he'd be crying tears of joy and that's actually better to see 😂
No, cause Brett is actually dead inside
@Julia Wiltgen
I know this is a joke, but it's soooo not true. You just have to see his sparkling eyes and beautiful smile when he plays to understand that violin gives him life.
And @Dembai, I'm pretty sure the last thing Eddy would do is laughing. It's much more plausible he would watch Brett with his eyes wide open, looking at him with his "Senpai" face. 😉
Miss Coussin Rouge I know, Brett’s adorable and it’s lovely to see him play 🥰

Together is one of my all time favorites. The music and story…damn
My family friend is the great violin legend who recorded the entire soundtrack for this movie. The actor is indeed a violinist but none of it was his actual playing. Li Chuan Yun is the master virtuoso behind this soundtrack. He was one of the three legendary virtuosoes who shot to stardom along with Lang Lang and Li Yun Di. An unbelievable genius - you have to youtube his performances and be smacked across the face by his brilliance. Enjoy!
I only like movies with real musicians
-Me, 2019
Noice
*sorry but we don't do that here*
Brett and Eddy just can’t help themselves - second video still turned into a roast. They couldn’t roast the violinist, so they just roasted everything else. 😂
It's called "making a living" - at someone else's expense 😐🤔.
I actually cried a little at that first clip, like DAMN that was powerful and so well done 🙌🏼
I'm not a violinist but a piano player (mainly jazz) but even I can appreciate the fact that there are actually qualified musicians playing in a film. I can only imagine how much more satisfying it is for professionals like you guys lmao.
“It must be the editors fault”
*Immediate sad face from the editor*
Lmao aw!
loved that scene in the devil’s violinist where the devil tries to vore paganini while he plays minuetto, really iconic and was just so deep
ghost LMAOOO
I just love how Happy, Positive and Clever you guys are!!!

Honestly, I dunno why the critics were so hard on David, when the real problem lied with the horrible script, subpar directing, and poor editing. Also, David originally only joined to compose and arrange the music (which he did, as seen in the orchestral arrangement here) because he loved Paganini. The director's the one who roped him into acting once they realised that not having a real violinist play the part would completely ruin the movie. Yet the script still managed to trivialise Paganini's existence, get many important facts wrong, and leave out most of the good parts of his life. There really wasn't much _any_ of the actors could do with that script and directing. The music was great, and the storyline bearable if you tell yourself this was just a composer with an identical name.
*Spoiler Alert* (Do not read if you haven't seen the film yet).
Paganini never had any dubious intentions toward an underaged girl (then gotten falsely accused of rape & had his fingers trampled on; that's both horrible and completely false). The story that the creators of the movie could have made from him and Antonia Bianchi would have been much better (not to mention believable, as they met as adults, were together for years, then had Achille).
And that's just ONE of the many problems. He had many health issues popping up one after another, but his life as a virtuoso wasn't pathetic. It wasn't until his late years that things started to fall apart. His vices didn't define most of his life except during his late teenage years and before the end. He made friends with great composers and musicians, he invented many techniques for violin, and he composed some of the most difficult pieces for violin, period.
His life was more than dramatic and impressive enough without inventing things that couldn't have happened. Making London look like a smoke room (foggy and no visibility are two different things) full of prostitutes, making him do drugs/drink/sleep with random women in every scene, and forcing an impossible love story where he's jilted, jailed, and has his fingers crushed is NOT an homage.
I don't see what the actors could have done, given such a wrong script, the directing focused on the darkness looming over Paganini (seriously, constantly invoking the devil was overkill. People may have been superstitious enough to believe something like that at the time, but he was simply more talented and more hardworking. He allegedly practiced 15 hours a day as a kid. The film made it look like Urbani really was a supernatural agent, and completely controlled his life), and the editing to complement. The storyline really wasn't up to par with the music (which was often incomplete so they could spend more footage on the unnecessary and wrong parts).
I really appreciate your comment. Thank you so much for actually answering some questions of mine ❤️
@bodd boward thats funny cuz this is a copy pasted answer to someones question about two comments up. (copypasted from themself)
they obviously didnt want this whole essay to go to waste in a reply section. i applaud
Jesus, his fingers got trampled on??
@@Roma-kp4qg Yup. That was brutal. As a person, I found the false rape accusation and subsequent jailing to be horrible. As a musician, I felt his fingers being trampled & the beatings received from other jailmates to be soul-crushing.
@@hargssgrah4738 True. When a movie or other media production is great, we know that it's a combination of all factors. When it clearly has problems, we don't generally know why. Sometimes the director was lazy and picked a crappy script (or just directed/casted badly). Sometimes the original script was great, but someone influential decided to change it. Of course, there are also times when the actors just don't live up to the image they should portray. But it's rarely the fault of CGI (even when it's bad, it's because they hired the wrong people). I just ranted in the original post because when this movie came out, most critics blamed the actors, especially David Garrett.
In this case, all I can be certain of is that it wasn't any of the actors' fault. They casted quite well, including the female lead. She didn't sing opera originally, but she did music theatre. And her voice fits the character she was playing.
To be fair, the music was phenomenal (if short). Knowing what I know, I still would have watched it the first time for the music alone. However, I would not rewatch the whole thing again, just the music scenes.

There should be 5 minutes in each film major's education teaching them that when you have a musician in your movie, get a musician to help with editing. 😂 There are so many Jane Austen films and others like this scene from The Devil's Violinist that don't have the violinist in sync with the music. There is so much more energy in an in-sync violinst!
I'm a basoonist and we played Tchaikovsky, it was so wonderful ! The violonist was amazing
Well according to Wikipedia, Paganini’s skills were only matched by his skills as a womanizer.
So there probably were fangirls.

Thank you guys for showing this. I fully agree with you, it is way more exciting to watch people play for real than to look at fake imitation. When done well, one can actually feel that "this is real". And even if they're stories, they need to feel real. Much appreciation for you guys and for those who do the job right. :)

“He can act. He’s crying.” 😂
Actually when I watched the Devil's Violinist, I was fangirling at David the whole time so I had no time to roast the movie haha 😂😂
Edit: David actually did the music arrangements for the movie. So basically, the orchestra part was by him. Since it was a solo piece and not supposed to be played with the oke. And he said as long as nobody is against the music, he deems it as a success. Just saying haha.
Then he was successful. The music and the violin playing is great, but the rest ...
He was fiiiinneeeee :333
With David Garrett’s looks and skills it’s not like the movie NEEDS anything else, I’d say 😂😂😂
Actually I was pretty disappointed by the end, seems like the same handful of pieces throughout the movie.
Chanchai Nacion i freaking love Garret 💙

- Yes, that used to happen
.
7:18
- So, there is actually a story about paganini, that when he was playing solo with orchestra, Concertmaster (or one of the musicians in orchestra) got so lost in paganini's music that they kinda messed up or sth[I think, they are trying to portray this similar sceneario]
.
8:30
- Paganini was really well-known for making people jump from emotions, he used to design his music the way that one variation would be really sentimental, other would make audience crack out of joy, [I believe they are trying to show this]
.
9:42
-This is a popular story probably everyone with little knowledge about paganini may have heard of this.
When he was giving concert in Vienna? one of the audience saw devil helping paganini to play violin. I think this scene is about that story.
