    I think this scene is about siblings that both went through a lot growing up and are still trying to find themselves. They are still so alone. He cries because of his hurt. She sings for the escape. Powerful message and scene.

    Not sure why people said her singing was bad in this scene. I think it was great. She looked like she was close to tears. It's not cheery like Sinatra, it's haunting and sad and the irony between the lyrics and the delivery really shows the pain of shattered dreams.
    I love Carey Mulligan

    • @johnsinclair6170
      @johnsinclair6170 5 років тому +23

      She’s flat and/or hesitant on way too many notes - in a song that’s meant to be triumphant. And as another commented here, that was part of what made the scene so great. It’s beautifully pathetic.

    • @herbalifeguru
      @herbalifeguru 5 років тому +16

      ​@@johnsinclair6170 it's sung in a different key than the original... It's not that that she's flat, it's in a minor key. The parts where there's less breath support are artistic decisions for the scene. There are weird vowel choices in parts of it which give it a completely different sound. That's my opinion...

    The point of the song was that she is just the average singer. Not so lucky at her chances of being extraordinary. She sung the song like a person looking for a new life, a new dream and new hope. Yet she is not so happy to start over and isnt sure of herself. It was hauntingly beautiful as so many stated. She was perfectly imperfect.

    Such a great scene. I think it was good not to cut the song. She did it from the beginning to the end so perfectly. This shows the real feeling between Sissy and Brandon. He seems not to be interested in her or not to believe she can be good at something, but it's maybe because he doesn't know her deeply. It's very touching when he cries while she's singing. She's his sister and nothing else matters. He loves her but he is too vain to shows it. So, in my opinion one of the best and deep films I've ever seen.

  • @spokenword7264
    @spokenword7264 3 роки тому +36

    Trauma expressed through song. The torment of being broken and worn down by the chains of a traumatic life are heard in the brokenness of her voice, the last glimmer of hope just seeping out to beg for another chance... the “if” being a big IF... but it’s up to you (New York) to accept her damaged broken dysfunctional being... in many ways she’s far more honest than her brother who’s hiding behind a false image. She wears her heart and desperation on her sleeve at her own peril, as that is what pushes people away.
    Her scars are physically visible and on display where as Brandon keeps his scars hidden and deeply buried.
    Brandon is doing his best to hide behind his perfectionism. And idealized image of a healthy together high functioning man.
    She holds up a mirror to him. And acts as a harsh reminder of the brokenness and the burdensome trauma they both carry.
    Both of them surviving and trying to get closeness and affection the best way they know how. Both of them desperately trying to distract themselves from their own pain and trauma.
    They are both lonely tragic characters, unable to communicate in a healthy way - which signifies they were badly abused as children. Most likely sexual or physical abuse and neglect.

    They are both addicts. Carey Mulligan is the love addict to Fassbender's sex addiction. They both fear intimacy but Mulligan masks hers with extreme emotional desperation that you hear in this song. This is why Fassbender is moved to tears - because he intimately knows WHY she feels that way.

  • @trevorlangsett2735
    @trevorlangsett2735 5 років тому +14

    Brandon is tearing up, because the lyrics convey a story of a lost person who's "melting away" in "vagabond shoes" longing to start over, and escape... looking to New York as the answer for his/her problems--"I'll make a brand new start of it.. in New York"..."where I'm top of the list...mountain." "If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere." He understands and relates to the story the song's telling. The optimism. Yet he also understands the let down that comes from chasing a fantasy, in learning no place, thing or job can erase the problems he was trying to runaway from in the first place. (aka trauma, anxiety, sexual addiction.)
