Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I gritted my teeth listening to the "soundtrack" ! ....

I voiced my contempt for the film in a post below and I don't want to belabor my point- this post will just focus on the music ...

It really bothers me to hear (presumably Eastwood's) nursery rhyme, pentatonic doodling in the guise of real music.

Put on Elmer Bernstein's "To Kill a Mockingbird" to remind yourself where the bar should be placed - and I use "To Kill a Mockingbird" as an example because the theme of "Flags ... " was a retarded version of it. I won't dredge up the great film composers in history because it wouldn't really fair-but below par- not even deserving of being called mediocre - music in a major motion picture just isn't acceptable to me.

There is probably a 100,000 hours of recorded music from capable musician/composers - Instead we get this forgettable new-age music for ghosts.

Eastwoods no singer (Paint Your Wagon) and he sure ain't no piano player!

Rico -By the way - I always enjoy reading your posts .
