“The worst mistake of my life”: Taylor Swift would have ruined “Killers of the Flower Moon” for some spectators…
Some Killers of the Flower Moon viewers have a lot to say about Taylor Swift’s record-breaking concert film, The Eras Tour, playing alongside Martin Scorsese’s event film.
As you understood, Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic retracing a tragic moment in American history: the film includes many calm, extremely serious or shocking moments. And suddenly, the song “Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift is heard from the neighboring movie theater. “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me”: there is indeed something to break the mood!
Just like “The Eras Tour” itself, the accompanying concert film has also become a true phenomenon. In the United States, it even relegated Martin Scorsese’s epic to second place at the box office: Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro didn’t see it coming!
Even before its release, the concert film had already broken one of the biggest records in cinema with its pre-sales which brought in 37 million dollars across the United States: this is the second best pre-sale in history , behind Avengers: Endgame (50 million) and ahead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (20 million).
ANGRY FANS MAKE THEM BE HEARD
Spectators who had the misfortune of having this experience took to social media to express their anger.
“Do NOT go see Killers of the Flower Moon while The Eras Tour is playing next door, worst mistake of my life.”
“I understand why Taylor Swift annoys you so much”, another fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “we were sitting [dans la salle de] Killers of the Flower Moon and you could hear what song she was singing [à côté] all the time.”
Walls too thin? Volume too loud? The chant of the fans that resonates? For some spectators of Killers of the Flower Moon, the film’s soundtrack was almost impossible to hear. But some took the situation with humor.
“Excellent film, but I question Martin Scorsese’s choice to play almost the entirety of Taylor Swift’s discography in the film.” To which another Internet user replied: “I almost laughed when I heard [la chanson] Miss Americana in the background during a serious scene.”
Another responds: “Many times I asked myself: ‘Did he [Scorsese] selected [une chanson de] Taylor Swift here now? Wait no, it was right next door.’ LOL”
Killers of the Flower Moon can be seen in your nearest cinema… maybe not at the same time as a Taylor Swift screening, The Eras Tour is also showing!
