Hi! My name's Lindsay, RU-vid's leading authority on storytelling. I plan on analyzing everything. Do subscribe if you too are a film nerd, bookworm, or show aficionado.
Personally, I find some of the cadence fuckery fun (like in "coLORS"), BUT! When it's everywhere, it doesn't feel intentional, and it gets jarring. And in Wish, it's practically everywhere ://
what the HECK happened? What was Disney employees smoking? Just a few years ago, this studio made Encanto, a movie that was great and had infinitely more thought put into than Wish, a CELEBRATORY movie! So clearly it’s not that Disney is incapable of songwriting. Take any song from Encanto and it will have better lyrics, story, music, better everything than all of these shitty songs combined…
I watched this Movie on a Airport waiting my Flight and while the Film was so lacking on its Mispotential, this Song is Worse than I’m a Star, this is when the Film Falls Apart with Asha villainizing Magnifico that she’s the main reason why they are in this Mess in the First Place, this turned Asha the Protagonist to a Manipulative Antagonist without knowing if those Wishes are Safe as some could have been Evil Thoughts.
I know this Movie is Bad, but the Music literally drains the Disney Magic and I agree with Magnifico being the Fallen Hero that got Corrupted by Asha who ate the Forbidden Fruit, she doesn’t even know if the Wishes are Good, if anything some of the could be Straight Up Evil, this is a Mockery to Disney and all of the Years of making good Music, it got me Bored and Cringing Everytime I here then that I wish they would still with the Original Idea than this, At All Costs is my Favorite Song in the Movie that this should have been a Romantic Disney Movie.
I wonder if someone involved here watched Reefer Madness...because that's where I've heard that sharp 'ho!ha!' bit with the drums before...it's a hilariously not kid-friendly moment
This is an example of how and why good poetry and music takes a TON of time and thought (and even plenty of mistakes in rough drafts) to be made into a successful final. I write poetry and I read some poetry and I know what good music is supposed to sound like.
4:52 Ironically this in Castillian Spanish was adapted as: "And if you were harmed, I don't know if I could stand it, you can't even imagine how I would fight, I would give my all". Obviously in spanish. I'm finding that the dubbing in general did the lyrics a big favour, although it doesn't fix all the mistakes. There are more examples besides this one.
"The good in him I've watched it melt" - this was the most insulting to me of all so far. It's a transformative property. You put cheese on toast, you put the toast in the grill, you take the toast out, gee golly, its still CHEESE!
I will say, it’s a shame this movie was bad. Asha has a pretty design, and her voice actress was actually really good! I just wish she had better material
I have figured out a way to enjoy this song’s melody and instrumental without standing the criminal lyrics… Listen to it in Japanese!! (Or any other language you don’t understand)
one of the biggest issues is that they didn't get musical theater writers for this. they got pop writers, and while they are talented, disney music is not their scene. they were trying to imitate writers like lin manuel miranda and shit, and it DID NOT go well.
I found the ONE SINGLE peice of media that uses the term "question marks like that" gimmie my money ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--iwMFRPOkt8.html&pp=ygUqbGVhZ3VlIG9mIGluY3JlZGlibGUgdmVnZXRhYmxlcyB0aGVtZSBzb25n

Also tbh go off queen, you did sound angry but it’s not like you’re railing against an indie dev or something. This is the 100th anniversary of a multi billion dollar company famous for making these kinds of movies and they rushed and crunched it so hard that beginner’s mistakes are in every song. You’re not unfair, given the context. I personally think the ppl saying you’re overly critical just aren’t thinking about the standards we should absolutely hold Disney to. You’re not punching down
