Re: Can't Resist - I thought American Beauty was Brilliant

I really loved the original sounding score for that movie (gamelan and marimba with 5 string bass and tabla? Genius!). Some sections didn't have the dark forboding quality of the music matched up to the scene (for example, Ricky and Jane in Ricky's room watching the "bag video"), and you begin to think "why the hell is this music so dark right now", but by the end of the movie, it finally makes sense- very dark indeed!

I still get chills just thinking about the "trouble" Lester Burnham could have gotten into with Angela Hayes in that living room- and as a result, I can't listen to Annie Lennox's version of "don't let it bring you down" without thinking of dark rainy nights. This movie left a very emotional impression on me!

A very well done film, IMHO! Damn the detractors! I know what I like!

Cheers,

Dman

PS- I just finished watching "The Bone Collector"- anothe great one, IMHO!
