- The movie “Tár” is regarded as an Oscar contender, though a decidedly anti-woke scene that went viral Thursday probably won’t sit well with judges.
- The scene shows leading lady Cate Blanchett sitting at a piano with a young male student, who dismisses Bach’s work, saying, “Nowadays, white, male, cis composers, just not my thing.”
- What follows is an epic monologue from Blanchett, beginning with this line: “Don’t be so eager to be offended. The narcissism of small differences leads to the most boring conformity.”
