Aaarghh . . . I was meaning to drink beer only today but the lure of the strawberry daiquiris is too strong . . . so it's off to the store for strawberries. Hope I snap out of this fad ASAP!
I watched last night 'Rosetta' by the Belgian Dardenne bros. NO MUSIC. And how depressing some form editing can be. The art of living is to know how to edit your life the right way, with the right score
Well, the two posts are so close that they might as well be the same one. Movies without music can be powerful too but a good soundtrack can really manipulate your mood. You rely on the composer to guide you through whatever emotion it is you're supposed to be feeling. A good composer can make or break a movie . . .
What I don't like is directors who cop out and use popular music (Rolling Stones etc.) instead of making up their own. But I guess there's a place for that too.
Just wish I had a symphony orchestra following me around everywhere and playing a soundtrack to MY life. Hmm, I guess I'd have to pay them scale . . . okay, forget that idea. An organ grinder will do just fine.
