Neil Young did the music and I thought it fit the movie well. The western theme with dispair I would put it. Cant mess with Also Jarmish's movies are so unique some things just fly over peoples heads. Either you hate what he does or you love it. I for one love it but I to have more to learn about how he makes movies and what kind of messages are in this work of art. Hollywood just makes movies for money and for entertainment. Jarmish wants to make a painting and express deeper things.

Your spelling and taste in music are annoying. Neil Young helped make this movie what it is.

You insult the movie. You were obviously a fan of this twanger from hell before you saw the movie. One's taste in music should not be allowed to influence one's enjoyment of a movie. There are composers of film music whose style I don't like, yet they manage to keep a low enough profile for me to enjoy the movie and ignore the music. But who can ignore this hellish, unstructured racket while trying to concentrate on the silent expanses of emptiness that make this movie what it is? This is a movie about emptiness, silence and nothingness. Perhaps Philip Glass could have done justice to it not my favourite composer, but he does understand silence, as all great composers do (no wonder the greatet of them all was deaf).

"one's taste in music should not be allowed to influence one's enjoyment of a movie."
to that I say: "No person's pretentious comments in a movie forum should be allowed to influence one's enjoyment of a movie."
you do not define what should and shouldn't be allowed to influence one's enjoyment of a movie. You can make suggestions or if you care enough, argue something.
hellish? yes.
unstructured? yes.
racket? questionable.
none of those things keep it from being a great beep piece of music that captures the pathos of the film.
I don't think you're wrong, sjjvdberg, just that you should maybe open your mind to different tastes in music and film, or at least try to understand why someone would like it other than them buying into anything put in front of them, or having inferior perceptive ability. -

The music didn't ruin it at all it added to the mood of the movie. Thats what a soundtrack is supposed to do. What did you want a 100 peice orchestra? For a quiet spiritual western movie? The music was perfect for the movie

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.
Be sure to proof your posts to see if you any words out -

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.
