I feel that his main theme is good, I like it, but we definitely needed a few more variations, and perhaps some other themes than that one repeated over and over again.

This was a great movie with great music, I loved the music and it fit the movie perfectly, especially the mournfulness at the end and over the credits, I wonder if it's available for purchase?

You nailed it. This style of guitar was more about atmosphere, much like what Ry did in Paris, Texas.
Personally, I don't think Neil is the greatest guitarist or singer in the world, but he is a great song writer and I like his songs. Same feeling I have about Dylan. -

Wouldn't have changed a thing, the music was perfect. The fact that the song played over the opening credits isn't on the soundtrack seems downright retarded to me, though.

oh, the music was perfect. such a very simple theme, played with such depth and so perfectly. I believe that those who have seen the movie and do not like it, or didn't like the music, are much too rational people, or have seen it in an unaproppiate mood. that means, they have not watched and listened with the eyes and the ears of the soul, but with the mind.

I disagree. What exactly made it compelling and provocative? The anxiety, the horror, the haunting nature of unfinished cords looses all its emotive power by the third time they're played. You end up wanting the chord progression to finish, and, by association, the movie as well. You stop paying attention to the details and the characters and just .wait..impatiently throughout the film for that end when you'll be able to play the original Neil Young song to your personal enjoyment. And, though it sounds marvelous in this description, it's not pulled off well in the movie. Like I said, it ends up being uncreative and repetitive and dry, instead of emotive. It ends up being such a lack of emotion, that it drags everything down with it, kinda like a mop, or a clingy girlfriend.
And, I don't think its fair to justify the music choice with some absurd rhetoric about the increase in comparative meaninglessness and degradation of human culture and human spirit throughout the film..because, really, i think all of these subjects would have been treated better without the soundtrack. Nothing distracting. The film is already minimalist, so the oddly-timed, repetitive, uninspiring, and downright cheapening music could be scraped for the sake of an actual story worth raving about.
And this is from an AVID Neil Young and Jarmusch fan.
Seriously, the story's nice, and the acting is pretty interesting.WHY does the music have to suck so badly? I don't think I'll ever see this movie again, and I do feel like I've wasted my time watching it, just because of the music. -.-; -

I seriously can not believe what youre saying. I respect your opinion though. But you say youre a Neil Young & Jim Jarmusch fan and felt that this movie wasted your time? I will not go on and on about how you suck and blah blah, because obviously no one can win a discussion about which movie is the best or artist or song w/e, but I just dont get why you didnt like this movie if youre such a fan of Jarmusch.

i dig your approach to this discussion. More IMDB forum comments need to be less condescending and morally imposing. I thought the song was great. Maybe the progressions don't resolve nicely, but i think it builds tension and really says something.

i think thats the point. youre supposed to feel that way throughout the film. like you just want it to end. I do agree that the music waseventually distracting, and after awhile i found myself doing the same, just wondering, why exactly it was still playing, but i think it served it's purpose.
