Certainly, there is a lot more involved than simply waving your arms around. You will see that and more in the Conduct movie. The documentary is a fascinating insider look at the skill and, also, the hard work that is needed to to succeed as a conductor. This is a serious competition without the contrived drama of a made for TV musical competition show. The focus is on the conductors and on the music itself. The competition is real and exciting. You may find yourself cheering for a favorite competitor or you may just be in awe of the talent of each and every one of them. Musicians and music fans will enjoy the documentary. If you have a child who plays an instrument, this may give them a new sense of appreciation for their own conductor. It may even inspire an up and coming musician to try to become a conductor.
