Mystifying
|
There will always be people who love terrible films, and people who hate the classics. What is mystifying is why so many people, including supposedly knowledgeable ones, have praised this film so highly. Its shortcomings have been described elsewhere, so I won't repeat them here. I think what has happened is that people are hungry for a "serious" movie, that is, a movie with a balance of social and personal drama, played by actors either on the verge of, or crossing into, physical and emotional explosion, and most importantly, without even a trace of humor. This film has the capacity of making viewers feel serious and important themselves, as if they are being given the opportunity to come to grips with something. At the same time, the plot is fairly straightforward and easy to follow, so the viewer does not have to work too hard.
Even more mystifying is the praise heaped on Jonny Greenwood's score - I have no explanation for this. The main theme, repeated ad nauseum, and employed in the most inappropriate places, sounds as if it were lifted, virtually note for note, from Penderecki's "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima." Greenwood has the good sense to use Arvo Part's "Fratres for Violin, Strings, and Percussion," but for some reason repeats the introduction rather than continuing into the main part of the piece. I hope this was not done merely to keep the samples under the legal time limit, to avoid paying the original composers. |
