what the FUCK was Tchaikovsky thinking when he wrote the pas de deux for the sugar plum fairy????dude wrote that first buildup and then he fucking edges you with some fakeout crescendo that sounds absolutely amazing. then boom, you think he's going in for his big finish, he's got that second moment where all the instruments are coming together and it sounds otherworldly but he's like WAIT hoes I ain't even finished yet. then BOOM he hits you with the most magical, transcendent, beautiful fucking note change after that third buildup and MY GOD!!!! it's just too good. Tchaikovsky, that absolutely madman. I know the Russians were tripping the fuck out in the ballet when he dropped this. just,,MUAH perfection!!!

"Lana as Sheila Regan was slated for death in the movie as the desserts of a sinful life. She has one last staircase descent before her ultimate collapse. In it, she recalls the grace and poise of the Ziegfeld Girl she once was. Test audiences resisted her fate, and her life was spared, or at least given an ambiguous end. I believe it was this last descent that saved her life. Anyone who could master a move like that was not a wholly lost soul and worthy of salvation. So here we have an instance of a fictional character controlling real life." -slaypaule
ZIEGFELD GIRL 1941, dir. Robert Z. Leonard
