Let’s discuss the WH Nutcracker Christmas video

[Anonymous]

I think the older generation likes it because it's very old Hollywood. Like something from a fifties musical. The youngs may not get the references.

The Nutcracker has become an American production when performed by Americans in America. That's the thing about culture: it all comes from somewhere. This is a joyous interpretation of the story, although I admit I prefer the original score.

Nutcracker on cocaine. What Chaikovskiy would say?

Any support of Russian culture coming from the White House in 2023 should be illegal. Promoting Chaikovskiy at the time of active war is just Jill's bad taste or pure ignorance.

What a dumb take

Agree.

Wrong time to choose a piece for the WH written by a vile Russian.

This is such a ridiculous position that it's hard to even pretend to take seriously, but surely even if you think Tchaikovsky should be off-limits because of a war that started nearly 130 years after he died, the fact that the video is set to the Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn adaptation of the ballet should "cleanse" its toxic Russian-ness, no?

Statues of Americans who died more than 130 years ago are still being vandalized and torn down, without consequence and often with government approval.

What’s your point?

Mine is: Russia supports an evil regime headed by indicted war criminals.

Your opposition to that truth is ridiculous; your position is completely ridiculous.
