The Shape of Water

Kalabalıkta bile kendi sesimizi duymamaya mahkum canlılarız. Belki günlük rutinlerimizden kurtulup hayatın ötesine aşkın ötesine bakmalıyız. Bu ödüllü film kategorisinde olan film. Suyun ötesini göre geçmekten öte sezebilmek önemli metaforuna dayandırıyor ve bunu sırılsıklam bir aşkla yapıyor. Hislerinize güvenmeniz yeterli.

Aşk her zaman; dünden bugünden ve gelecek üzerinde ise şeklin ötesinde duruşu , iyileştirici ve tamamlayıcı gücüne şaşırmamak gerekiyor. Guillermo del toro bu ödüllü film ile lirik bir destanı avuçlarımıza bırakıyor.

Otoriteye, baskıcı iş ortamı , ırkçılığa, hor görülmeye, aşağılanmaya ve mutsuz hayatlarına rağmen kalplerinin ses ritmini dinleyerek baş kaldıran ve bunu korku sarmalına değil . Sakin bir ruh halinde olan insanları izliyoruz.

Elisa’nın otobüste yağmur damlalarıyla oynarken hayallere daldığı gibi. Hayatın bütün hoyratlığına rağmen umuda aşkla bağlanmalı her canlı.

Hayatın bütün kalıplarının dışında olup sakın hayata sıkışıp kalma. Bu ikilem çünkü hep vardı. Müziğin yumuşaklığı suyun sesine karışınca bir dilim gizli tariften yapılan turtanın tadına bakınca bütün duvarları yıkmaya başlamak hiç bu kadar eğlenceli olmamıştı.Ödüllü filmlerden olan bu yapım size keyifli bir tebessümü yüzünüze iliştirdi bile . Dahası ise fantastik ögelerle harmanlanan yapım sizi izlediğiniz koltuktan alıp suyun içine çeki veriyor. Bunun başlıca nedenleri ; senaryo, yönetmen ve oyuncuların gerçekliği.

Bütün efsaneler bir şekilde gerçeklere dayanır.

Aşkın tükenmeyen gücünden alan ödüllü film. Denizci hikayelerine ve mitolojiye dalgalarla göz kırpan bir ödüllü yapım. Alt metin olarak görsel olarak sizi o sahnelerin içine çekerken. Şiirin uyumuna sakın şaşırmayın. Bu ödüllü film fona tarihi bir atmosferi yanına aldı. Macera hikâyeleri ise denizin tuzu kıvamında.

Görsel açıdan büyüleyici ve gerçeküstü sahnelerle karşılıyor sizi bu ödüllü film.

Konusu ise :

Guillermo Del Toro'nun Venedik'ten Altın Aslan ödülüyle dönen filmi The Shape of Water, Soğuk Savaş'ın iyice kızıştığı 1963 yılında geçiyor. Elisa'nın temizlikçi olarak çalıştığı bir devlet laboratuvarına insansı bir su yaratığının getirilmesi üzerine gelişen olaylar bir çok kişiyi etkileyecektir. Yapılan deneylere şahit olmasıyla Elisa ve iş arkadaşı Zelda hapsedilen insansı bir yaratığı acımasız deneyden kurtarmaya çalışırlar. Bu uğraşları bir çok yaşamı değiştirirken tahmin ettiğinden daha zorlanacaklardı.

Suyun Sesi: Batık bir gemi gibi sulara gömülmüş insanların bütün zarafeti ile sudan çıkması belki yeniden suya kavuşmasıdır bir deniz kızı gibi. Suyun Sesi bir anlatıcının üst sesi, bize filmin masalsı dünyasına “hoş geldiniz “ diye sahneleri açıyor. Bu ödüllü filmde tasvirler ve betimlemeler peşi sıra gelirken siz daha hızlı filmde kendinizi buluyorsunuz. Ödüllü filmden olan replikte , “denize yakın ama geri kalan her şeye uzak” . Suyun Sesi’nde del Toro bu sefer hikâyesini Soğuk Savaş dönemi ABD’sine yerleştiriyor. 1963 yılındayız. Başkahramanımız Elisa, gizli deneylerin yürütüldüğü bir askerî üste temizlik işçisi olarak çalışan dilsiz bir kadın .

Soğuk Savaş döneminde sinema, aşk ve efsane …

Ödüllü film sektörünün son yıllarda damga vuran Guillermo Del Toro’nun deniz canavarı efsanesi ile çıktığı yolculuk. Film boyunca bin bir çeşit dehlizler size çok eğlenceli gelecek.

Bazı masallar mutlu sonla bitmezler. Asıllarına dönen insanları temsil eder.

Peki siz kendi dinlediğiniz ya da anlattığınız masalların neresindesiniz ?

Sadece görmek istediklerinizi karşınızda olsun derseniz bitmek tükenmek bilmeyen iyi ve kötünün kendi içinizdeki savaşına hazır olun.

Film gözleri kapatırken derin bir nefes almayı unutmayın hafızanızdan asla silinmeyecek olan bir ödüllü yapım.

Bu ödüllü filmle bir kere daha anlıyoruz ki . Hiç bir şey asla göründüğü gibi değildir. Aşk bile! Her zaman aşkın ötesini görebilmenizi ve geçebilmenizi dilerim iyi seyirler.

-Asırlar önce bir aşığın fısıldadığı o şiir.

“Tasavvuf edemem suretini

Çünkü her yerimi sardın

Varlığın gözlerimi doldurur aşkın ile

Kalbim oyunu bilmiş

Zira sen her yerdesin”

“When you have a strong father figure, it's a big part of our lives. This version of Frankenstein very much goes down that thematic road. So, I feel like this is the third film in Guillermo's father trilogy.” — producer J. Miles Dale

SWEENEY TODD - BROADWAY - JANUARY 2024

Sweeney Todd | Broadway (3rd Revival) | 2024, January | MP4 (12.25 GB, 2160p) | The Riddle’s master Cast: Josh Groban (Sweeney Todd), Annaleigh Ashford (Mrs. Lovett), Daniel Yearwood (Anthony Hope), Maria Bilbao (Johanna), Jamie Jackson (Judge Turpin), Daniel Marconi (Tobias Ragg), John Rapson (Beadle Bamford), Ruthie Ann Miles (Beggar Woman), Nicholas Christopher (Adolfo Pirelli), Stephen Tewksbury (Jonas Fogg), Jonathan Christopher (Bird Seller), Taelar Cyrus (Ensemble), Timothy Hughes (Ensemble), Paul-Jordan Jansen (Ensemble), Alicia Kaori (Ensemble), Raymond J. Lee (Ensemble), Mia Pinero (s/w Ensemble), Lexi Rabadi (Ensemble), Nathan Salstone (Ensemble), Kristie Dale Sanders (Ensemble), Stephen Tewksbury (Ensemble), Daniel Torres (Ensemble), Felix Torrez-Ponce (Ensemble), DeLaney Westfall (Ensemble)

Notes: Excellent 4k capture of Josh and Annaleigh’s last show with the company. One long blackout during the Ballad of Sweeney Todd due to usher activity (unfortunately, there is no video of Josh's entrance), and the beginning of “God, That’s Good!” is audio only due to latecomers/usher activity. A few other occasional blackouts due to usher activity. Video takes a while to get settled in act one, but once it does, action is followed well with a mix of mediums, wides, and zooms. Minor obstruction from a railing and heads from time to time. Includes Josh and Annaleigh’s goodbye speeches.

NFT DATE: AUGUST 1, 2024 Sales only until NFT date; price is $18

The role of women - and the issue of women's rights - within the Abolition movement, precipitated a division in 1840 in the ranks of the Anti-Slavery Society, for, as Stanton et al. comment, ‘Many a man who advocated equality most eloquently for a Southern plantation, would not tolerate it at his own fireside’ (ibid.). For the World's Anti-Slavery Convention in London, an invitation had been issued to all Anti-Slavery organisations in America and accordingly, say Stanton et al. ‘several American societies saw fit to send women, as delegates, to represent them in that august assembly’ (ibid.). If the issue of woman's rights had split the Anti-Slavery societies of America, it was to be no less divisive and disturbing at the Convention in London.

After going three thousand miles, say the editors, ‘it was discovered that women formed no part of the constituent elements of the moral world. In summoning the friends of the slave from all parts of the two hemispheres to meet in London, John Bull never dreamed that woman, too, would answer his call. Imagine then the commotion in the conservative anti-slavery circles in England, when it was known that half a dozen of these terrible women who had spoken to promiscuous assemblies, voted on men and measures, prayed and petitioned against slavery, women who had been mobbed, ridiculed by the press and denounced by the pulpit were on their way to England’ (ibid, pp. 53-4). And imagine what happened when on 12 June 1840 the women arrived to present their credentials - ‘The excitement and vehemence of protest and denunciation could not have been greater, if the news had come that the French were about to invade England’ (ibid., p. 54).

The issue of whether or not to admit women was debated at length (and is well covered in the History, vol. I pp. 54-61, and not only makes for enlightening reading but puts paid to the notion that the battle for women to appear in public was peculiar to America). One man on the committee, who had issued the invitations, said: ‘As soon as we heard the liberal interpretation Americans had given to our first invitation, we issued another as early as Feb 15, in which the description of those who are to form the Convention is set forth as consisting of “gentlemen”’ (ibid., p. 55.) ‘The Rev. J. Burnet, an Englishman,’ state the editors, ‘made a most touching appeal to the American ladies, to conform to English prejudices and custom, so far as to with draw their credentials, as it never did occur to the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society that they were inviting ladies. It is better, said he, that this Convention should be dissolved at this moment than this motion (to admit women should be adopted’ (ibid.).

Many of the arguments advanced for the exclusion of women were put forward by the clergy of both Britain and America, and after lengthy - and often ludicrous debate - finally, ‘the vote was taken, and the women excluded as delegates of the Convention, by an overwhelming majority’ (ibid., p. 60). They were forced to sit in the gallery, where they were fenced off behind a bar and a curtain. Wendell Phillips, who had supported their admission, was however 'gracious in defeat', and implied that women would no doubt follow the proceedings with as much interest from behind the bar and the curtain (ibid.). Stanton expresses her outrage at his failure to understand the women's position and says it is important to mention ‘that it is almost impossible for the most liberal of men to understand what liberty means for woman’ (ibid., pp. 60-1).

NR526N, Curtiss Robin J-1 Deluxe "Ole Miss", NASM Silver Hill, Maryland, 09-08-1974 by Gordon Riley Via Flickr: Aviation's exuberant adolescence was also marked by a penchant for endurance records. In July 1929, Dale Jackson and Forest O'Brine set an impressive record in a Challenger-powered Robin, with the help of aerial refueling, remaining aloft for 420 hours and 17 minutes. When the record was extended by a Stinson monoplane the following June, they took off again in the Robin on July 21, 1930, and set a new mark of 647 hours and 28 minutes. The greatest record for sustained flight was set five years later in a Whirlwind-powered Curtiss Robin J-1 Deluxe named Ole Miss. After two unsuccessful attempts in 1934, brothers Fred and Algene Key took off from Meridian, Mississippi, on June 4, 1935, and landed again 27 days later for a total flight time of 653 hours and 34 minutes. There to greet the exhausted fliers on the evening of July 1 were 35,000 wildly cheering spectators. Among the dangers they had faced were severe thunderstorms and an electrical fire. During the flight, Fred and Al Key took turns manning the controls and sleeping on the extra fuel tank behind them in the cabin. They received food, fuel, and supplies 432 times through a sliding roof hatch from another Robin. A metal catwalk on the forward section of the aircraft made in-flight maintenance and lubrication of the engine possible. Their Wright Whirlwind engine consumed 6.500 gallons of gasoline, at a rate of 10 gallons per hour, and 300 gallons of oil. Their estimated ground track was 52,320 miles, or more than twice the circumference of the earth. Almost twenty years after its famous flight, the Key family offered Ole Miss to the National Air Museum. On July 2, 1955, Fred Key flew the famous Robin, now fully restored, to National Airport in Washington, D.C., where it was formally presented to the Smithsonian Institution.

Sound Bites Presents the Live Music Year in Review

Much about 2024 sucked rotten eggs. But Sound Bites’ live-music calendar did not.

In addition to attending San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival - links to coverage here - for the second year running, the blog caught a few-dozen-plus gigs in his home state of backward Oiho.

What follows are capsule reviews of said performances in order from favorite to least favorite with hyperlinks to the full reviews and photos. May you have musical 2025.

Toubab Krewe (3) at Levitt Pavilion, Dayton, Aug. 16 - Listeners who closed their eyes and let the breeze with the slightest hints of autumn carry the music to them were transported to a lush, beachfront performance space miles - continents - away from downtown Dayton, Ohio. Review and photos here.

Sierra Hull (3) at Woodlands Tavern, Columbus, Sept. 15 - Hull is a solo artist but, like Billy Strings, is so in a band context characterized by shared solos and harmony vocals directed by the ebullient, ever-smiling bandleader. Review and photos here.

Old Crow Medicine Show (5) with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway (1) at Rose Music Center at the Heights, Huber Heights, July 9 - Double bill. Doubly potent bluegrass. Review and photos here.

Todd Rundgren (44) at Andrew J. Brady Music Center, Cincinnati, April 24 - The Me/We tour is one for the faithful. Review and photos here.

Los Straitjackets (1) at Natalie’s Grandview, Columbus, May 8 - Performing at the confluence of musical seriousness and playful showmanship, Los Straitjackets’ gig dealt in all-inclusive entertainment. Review and photos here.

Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives (2) at Columbus Anthenaeum, Nov. 21 - Stuart is the star attraction, and sang the majority of the nearly two dozen songs on the setlist while playing lead and rhythm acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin and electric sitar. But he also left no doubt the aptly named Fabulous Superlatives are a band. Review and photos here.

Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams (5) at Natalie’s Grandview, Columbus, April 23 - Campbell and Williams should be playing arenas. Review and photos here.

Steep Canyon Rangers (10) at Fairborn Bluegrass & Brew, Fairborn, Aug. 2 - Perched on a makeshift bandstand near the corner of Grand Avenue and Main Street, the Rangers did what they do - and were in top form - in front of a hometown audience of a few hundred on an unseasonably comfortable Ohio night that dodged the threat of torrential storms. Review and photos here.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (6) at Nationwide Arena, Columbus, April 21 - Though the band could’ve phoned it in, the expanded 18-piece - augmented with four-voice choir and five-piece horn section - instead brought a loud hailer. Review and photos here.

The Wood Brothers (8) at Southern Theatre, Columbus, April 3 - Having been scheduled to play Columbus before COVID-19 got in the way - Sound Bites still has his ticket to the canceled gig - the Woods’ trip to town was a long time comin’. Review and photos here.

Pete Best Band (1) with the Cyrkle (1) at Valley Dale Ballroom, Columbus, July 28 - Sound Bites still isn’t sure what he expected from Best. But it surely wasn’t an exceptional gig such as this. Review and photos here.

Hot Tuna (12) Acoustic at Natalie’s Grandview, Columbus, July 11 - Having played together nearly 60 years, it might be reasonable to assume Hot Tuna see their work as a grind; the opposite is true. Review and photos here.

Dom Flemons (2) at Happy Hollow Hootenanny, Snow Fork Event Center, Nelsonville, June 1 - Birdsong accompanied the early portions of Flemons’ Happy Hollow Hootenanny headlining appearance and fireflies lighted up the encores. Review and photos here.

John Craigie (3) with Tré Burt (1) at A & R Music Bar, Columbus, Oct. 11 - “I’m telling the agents - we gotta go back to Columbus,” Craigie said. And Burt likely felt the same as the audience went bonkers for two solo-acoustic folk singers who are also quite hilarious. Review and photos here.

The Travelin’ McCourys (4) at Woodlands Tavern, Columbus, Aug. 1 - There were times during this gig it seemed as if Woodlands Tavern might lift off the ground. Review and photos here.

Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros (3) featuring the Wolfpack with Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, at Music Hall, Cincinnati, Nov. 13 - The psychedelic-symphonic integration was complete by the time “Playing in the Band” launched with CPO handling the melody before dropping out and allowing the 10 members of the Bros and the ’Pack to take the number for a little walk in the woods. Review and photos here.

Robert Cray Band (10) at Lincoln Theatre, Columbus, Aug. 23 - The Robert Cray of 2024 is very much like the Robert Cray of 1989. Review and photos here.

Carsie Blanton (1) at Natalie’s Grandview, Columbus, Sept. 17 - This was much more than a traditional music concert; call it a non-traditional concert wrapped in tragedy and comedy. Review and photos here.

Nickel Creek (1) at Mershon Auditorium, Columbus, Feb. 15 - After playing together since they were children, the now-40-something members of Nickel Creek often sound like one player rather than the three who are on stage. Review and photos here.

moe. (10) with Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country (1) at Rose Music Center at the Heights, Huber Heights, July 19 - Twenty-seven years after playing the opening slot on the Furthur Festival, moe. are now the veterans lending their stage to such newcomers as Donato’s Cosmic Country. Review and photos here.

Rodrigo y Gabriela (1) at Columbus Athenaeum, May 15 - From hard rock to flamenco to classical, RyG spanned the world of music and spoke volumes while saying virtually nothing. Which is what the universal language of live performance does. Review and photos here.

Old Crow Medicine Show (4) at KEMBA Live!, Columbus, Jan. 25 - Old Crow Medicine Show ain’t sellin’ no snake oil. No, Sir and Ma’am. Their music is a proven elixir for all that ails at the end of a long day. Review and photos here.

Jorma Kaukonen (6) with Special Guest John Hurlbut at Natalie’s Grandview, Columbus, Feb. 25 - Despite the seamless, single-set presentation with no encore, Kaukonen and Hurlbut presented a gig that felt like two gigs owing to its diversity of style and substance in an all-too-rare live-music innovation. Review and photos here.

Ruthie Foster (2) at Levitt Pavilion, Dayton, Aug. 8 - The set consisted mostly of covers. But they sounded like Ruthie Foster songs. Review and photos here.

Norah Jones (2) with Mavis Staples (3) at Rose Music Center at the Heights, Huber Heights, July 10 - Celebrating her 85th birthday with 4,000 friends and fans, the opener outshone the headliner, which was no small feat. Review and photos here.

Little Feat (4) with Los Lobos (24) at PNC Pavilion, Cincinnati, June 18 - When writing about a two-band gig, journalistic norms dictate leading with the headliner. But where Little Feat and Los Lobos are concerned, such guidelines are bunk. Review and photos here.

Violent Femmes (2) with Columbus Symphony Orchestra, Columbus Commons, June 22 - A twitchy brand of acoustic punkabilly music goes well with orchestral accompaniment. Review and photos here.

Yarn (1) at Woodlands Tavern, Columbus, Nov. 16, 2024 - Celebrating the power of music. Building community. Focusing on the good things in life. This is what Yarn’s performance was all about. Review and photos here.

Amythyst Kiah (1) at Natalie’s Grandview, Columbus, Nov. 23 - Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar and banjo, introducing and explaining the songs’ origins and looking like the world’s-coolest bespectacled professor in checkered Vans, black pants, a muted-yellow jacket and top and a bolo tie, Kiah proved genres artificial. Review and photos here.

The Steel Wheels (3) at Woodlands Tavern, Columbus, Jan. 17 - From head-banging electric guitar and drum solos to a cappella spirituals around a single mic to vaguely psychedelic esoterica, the Steel Wheels roll to and from every location on the musical map. Review and photos here.

Richard Thompson (3) at Stuart’s Opera House, Nelsonville, July 23 - Though Thompson’s good British humour was intact, his respiratory ailment limited his song choice to numbers in lower keys, likely caused the guitarist to forget the words to “Walking the Long Miles Home” and “Singapore Sadie” and to abandon “She Twists the Knife” altogether after one line. Review and photos here.

LA LOM (1) at A&R Music Bar, Columbus, Dec. 14 - If there’s a knock on LA LOM, it’s that the trio tends to have a sameness in tone and style, leading to flatlines among the huge peaks. Yet the young trio is clearly at work at blazing a path that, when realized, is going to leave sonic scars in the ground it treads. Review and photos here.

Jennifer Hartswick (1) at Levitt Pavilion, Dayton, Aug. 30 - The music flowed like a long, winding river of sound, alternately cascading and riffling across American rock ‘n’ roll, blues, funk, jazz and soul music on a hot-and-humid night that Tennessee resident Jennifer Hartswick said “is like winter” for someone living in the South. Review and photos here.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit (1) at Rose Music Center at the Heights, Huber Heights, Sept. 7 - Jason Isbell cleans up the sound of his formative experience with Drive-By Truckers, adds elements of Neil Young and Crazy Horse and the Allman Brothers Band and - with key support from “my rock ‘n’ roll band, the 400 Unit” - creates something smooth and contemporary. Review and photos here.

Cat Power (1) at Columbus Athenaeum, Sept. 18 - Cat Power took the Columbus Athenaeum stage and a faux Bob Dylan concert broke out. Review and photos here.

Sarah Jarosz (1) at Memoriał Hall OTR, Cincinnati, April 26 - Jarosz plays pop music well. But this was pop, not Americana, music. Review and photos here.

Circles around the Sun (2) and Mikaela Davis & Southern Star (1) at Skully’s Music-Diner, Columbus, March 20 - Mikaela Davis wasn’t the headliner, but she was the star of the show. Review and photos here.

The Avett Brothers (5) at KEMBA Live!, Columbus, Aug. 20 - The Avett Brothers of 2024 are a band in flux. While the seven-piece touring lineup remains the same, the group is supporting a pop-leaning LP and talks from the stage about working, more than playing, for its audience. Review and photos here.
