Swan Song | comment |
A Swan Song is the last work a creator created before they died, especially when undertaken with the foresight or expectation that it will be the last thing they will ever make. It can also be the last performance of an actor. Either way this is when a creator or thespian decides that if they're gonna stop, then they might as well go out with a bang. Note that this must be on purpose. People die after making works all the time, but few of them have the foresight to know what their last act would be. This can overlap with Magnum Opus, where the artist puts their all onto it and creates something that exceeds the quality of the previous works, or it can be something that is So Okay, It's Average. Depending on the amount of time between the finishing touches and death, finishing the work can also be a Dying Moment of Awesome. Not to be confused with Shapeshifter Swan Song, which is just a shapeshifter's pre-mortem cycling of their previous forms. Sometimes overlaps with Died During Production. Compare Grand Finale, and compare and contrast Posthumous Credit and Fatal Method Acting. For characters in-story who engage in final acts of daring or accomplishment, see The Last Dance. |

Swan Song / int_c63e7d67 | comment |
Invoked by director Garry Marshall in order to persuade Jackie Gleason to co-star in Nothing in Common. Marshall approached Gleason and basically said "do you really want your final film to have been Smokey and the Bandit Part 3?" | |
