Re: Exquisite music

When the soundtrack of the film becomes a necessity to the film, as this one has done because of the haunting melodies that mirrored the film, well then, bliss! Really awkward sentence structure, but hopefully you understand my meaning.

Human Rights: Know Them, Demand Them, Defend Them

Re: Exquisite music

Well-put Belle. The soundtrack seemed to subtly accompany the scenes instead of overpowering them, something we rarely see in movies nowadays.

Re: Exquisite music

Well-put yourself...explained why this film and its score work in synchronicity...

Re: Exquisite music

I adore this film but without the music it wouldnt be near as good, when I read the book I imagine the music playing while I read, its stunning.

Vienna?

OHHHHH VIENNA!

Re: Exquisite music

It's ridiculous that this soundtrack didn't get a oscar nomination.

Re: Exquisite music

I totally agree. The music added so much to the cinematography, setting and acting throughout the movie. A perfect example would be the music set behind the train robbery scene, or the ending after Jesse's death. Very haunting, but so beautiful too.

Re: Exquisite music

This movie is a great example of how Oscar usually only rewards financial successes--I'll never understand why this film was such a box-office flop, but it certainly should have been recognized by awards bodies more than it was. It's extraordinary.

Re: Exquisite music

The music is stunning. It adds to the scenes and never overpowers unlike some movies.

Re: Exquisite music

The music is so good, I listen to the soundtrack by itself. I rarely do that with movies. Some of it is relaxing, some beautiful, some haunting, some inspiring. I can't get enough. Nick Cave is a genius. I have no idea how he didn't even get an Oscar nod for Best Original Score. This movie was just shoved under the *beep* rug for some reason. Poetry don't work on whores.

Re: Exquisite music

Im not someone who listens to soundtracks all that much either. This one is just stunning. It's impossible not to enjoy. The soundtrack and movie would have deserved any awards. I have not watched these award shows in long time. I had no idea it didn't get nominated. It's not surprising.

Re: Exquisite music

Glad to see I wasn't the only the appreciated the music more than the movie.

Re: Exquisite music

Agreed! Maybe the best I've ever heard

Re: Exquisite music

I agree. Its stunning perfection.

Re: Exquisite music

Nailed it for me, thank you. I'm truly grateful for movies like this being made.

Thinking of the scene early in the movie with Jesse & Frank, no dialogue,

just.. well you seen it. incredibly
