A question arises in my mind is that, how can people in positions of authority make sure they keep their dignity, stay responsible for their conduct, and utilize their positions ethically in a society fueled by authority, and the chase of accomplishment or success?

As Lydia spends more time on alone after every thing that was happening to her and the cancellation because of what she did , she begins to feel increasingly isolated and alienated. She is the only human on the island, and the sounds of the natural world become her only companions. She starts to have strange visions and hallucinations, and she begins to question her own sanity
 Lydia witnesses a young woman being attacked by a dog. She intervenes and saves the woman, but she is bitten in the process. The bite becomes infected, and Lydia falls ill. She is delirious and hallucinating, and she begins to believe that she is being haunted by the ghosts which was really something i really did not understand why it was added to be honest the story could have been the same with or without it being added to it . And as Lydia's condition worsens, Francesca becomes increasingly concerned. She tries to get Lydia to leave the place where she used to live  but Lydia refuses. She is determined to finish her recordings, even if it means sacrificing her own health. at the end of the film Lydia's fate is left ambiguous.  However, it is unclear whether she will ever be able to leave. and to be honest i really did not know why she went to the philppines out of any other country the end made no sense for me to be honest but the film has very interesting turn of events and how she was the best in the game and how she was ruined by one indecent and it represents how lots of artists had lost their fame and went into ruins in the matter of minutes and every thing that they worked for have their whole life become nothing by doing one wrong move.      
The Reflection Part:

The film's sound design is one of its strongest aspects. The natural sounds are used to create a sense of immersion and claustrophobia. The sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, the wind howling through the trees, and the birdsong all combine to create a powerful sensory experience. The sound design also serves to isolate Lydia from the outside world. The film's slow pace can be off-putting, but it's necessary to allow us to focus on the film's sensory experience. The film is not interested in telling a traditional story with a beginning, middle, and end. Instead, it is interested in creating a mood and atmosphere. it allows us to become immersed in the film's world and to experience the film's sensory effects. The film's narrative is relatively simple, but it's effective in conveying Lydia's sense of isolation and alienation. Lydia is a world-renowned sound artist, but she is also a deeply troubled woman. She is haunted by her past, and she is struggling to find meaning in her life. it also allows us to see Lydia's inner turmoil unfold. it was not interested in providing easy answers, but it does offer a glimpse into the inner life of a complex and troubled woman.The film's use of silence is also effective. The silences in the film allow the viewer to focus on the natural sounds of the island, but they also allow us to reflect on Lydia's inner turmoil.The film's ending is ambiguous, but it's also open-ended. The ending leaves us to decide what happens to Lydia
I would also like to add that I found the film to be very timely. In a world that is increasingly connected, Tár offers a powerful reminder of the importance of solitude and connection with nature. The film's slow pace and lack of dialogue allow the viewer to slow down and reflect on their own lives. I found this to be a very valuable experience, and I think it is something that everyone should try at least once. 
and this film may be something i would not chose to watch voluntarily  because it is not something that i would pick but i would say it was a new experience. 

There are many misconceptions and questions around Mahler’s 5th symphony. According to the movie, some peope interpret it as Mahler’s love letter to his wife, while some peope prefer the “tragedy” interpretation instead. Lydia Tár chose the “love interpretation” and she was dedicated to livestream and record it with the Berlin Philharmonic, and accomplish a full set of Mahler recordings, as a symbol of her life’s work. 

She was considered as one of the biggest composers of the history and had many eyes on her and her carreer, which ultimately put a lot of things at risk in her life, especially her privacy regarding her personal life and relationships. 

The movie often implied details from the maestro’s path, memories and dreams that can be seen as examples of her troubled personality and warning signs of her mental exhaustion. From the opening scene, it is very clear that Tár’s life has been followed by many, including one of her ex students, Krista. I found it very interesting how the movie introduced all of the young female characters that ever picked maestro’s interest both professionally and probably personally too, such as Francesca, Olga, and then Krista. Krista committed suicide during strange circumstances, leaving many accusations targeting Tár, that plays an important role in understanding her character and eventually serves as the main cause of her mental collapse.

The movie showcases both the maestro’s career as a conductor and a teacher, as well as painting a picture of her private life as a mother and a partner. As the story follows on, the four roles merged into one, until Tár’s distorted reality leads to her collapse during one of the biggest concerts of her career, which ends up being the last one as a well-known, successful conductor. Tár did not only destroyed her career, she lost everything, including her family. By the end of the movie there are still a lot of questions remaining around her path and ex relationships with her mentorees, but certainly the fact that just the assumptions and accusations had such effect on her proves that she did not feel innocent and most certainly, she was not. The movie finale offers different interpretations of how Lydia psychologically rebuilds her life from the ground up. 

From the scene, where she is in East Asia, she needs to pick a woman who will do massage for her. As soon as she saw a woman staring at her she went out and started throwing up. Does it symbolize her being afraid of getting into relationships with women or does it show the moment of her sin atonement?
