Yes! I'm glad you see this as a chilling ending...it's also heartbreaking. For anyone who lived in the 70s and its divided political sensibilities (and who sees such reactionary divisions rearing up again - even worse) this film rings very, very deeply. Though well respected, it's hard to believe this is not counted among the greatest American films ever made. It is indeed one of the best films of the 70s and more and more is looking like one of the top 3 or 4.

@thx291 you could look at it like that, or you could see the indifference as rather the ability of Nashville (or even, the country at large) to carry on with the show, despite the tragedy - which would signify, fundamentally, a collective belief that the show must go on.

Any reason for the abrupt edit @ 4:36? I always thought it was strange and out of place.

Wow! The only other piece I've ever seen Barbara Harris in was A Thousand Clowns opposite Jason Robards. Didn't know she had that dimension.
Robert Altman was chronicleing a country getting sicker and, since 1975, I'm not sure we've gotten better.

@Musclehustle - I couldn't agree more. I loved her performances in Family Plot and Freaky Friday too.

My two favorite parts: Opa from the BBC asking people what happened - clueless to the end. And Sueleen Gay, leaning against the pillar, not willing to believe that her big shot is not going to happen. In my vision of the future from this movie, that is precisely where she is standing to this day.

It's a shame Barbara Harris didn't go on to greater things - she's a comedy gem. Love her in Family Plot too.

I gotta get this on a dvd! The last time I saw it was I think on Showtime back in the early 80's. I saw it at the theater in 1975! I Was 9 then! WOW! I am OLD!! LOL!

If I understood the meaning the ending. A beloved singer is shot and yet despite that another talented singer just takes her place to the seeming indifference of the audience.
