Randy Stein Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) While looking through my streaming last night for a movie I caught a snippet of a 2006 movie called Relative Strangers. The Actress Kathy Bates was pretending to play an anglo. Horrible movie by the way https://youtu.be/sguNMcMJQv8 Edited August 5, 2022 by Randy Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her fingertips aren’t anywhere near the keys and her fingers aren’t moving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Barnert Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Well, let’s just say that her hands are through the straps, but her palms are flat against the keys and her fingertips extend beyond the edges of the ends. She is pumping the bellows freely, which suggests that someone has opened up a vent hole somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Oh poor woman; she really is getting good grilling ( whoever she is!) If as you described then maybe they could have edited in hand closeups of someone playing the thing really? ( As long as they are correct sized hand to suit of course!)....😁😁😁😁 Edited August 9, 2022 by SIMON GABRIELOW Spell correction due to tiny phone keyboard!

JimR Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Oh Simon, you've led a sheltered life. Search for "Misery" on a streaming device. She's a really good actress, when given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Essery Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It is a sad fact that film directors who are not musicians do not seem to care whether their actors look like they are playing the instruments. It is not really the actors fault. I once had a job playing flute in a film. The casting director went to great pains to ascertain that I was indeed a proficient flautist. I turned up on set and noticed the harp they had was 200 years later than the film was set in, then they handed me a piece of broomstick with thumb tacks pushed into it, and I had to pretend it was a flute! The music I was supposed to be playing to did not even have a flute! I was background, so it did not really matter, but it is all about creating the illusion for the masses and has nothing to do with being consistent to any form of truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON GABRIELOW Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 There's someone in that alien film (not sure which one) where he obviously cannot play it (English concertina).. and it is rather insulted in sarcastic comment in the film!

SIMON GABRIELOW Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yes that's the film! But all he did was make a few squeaky noises on the concertina; like someone had almost stood on a cat's tail!😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
