I could pick out many points in the first half hour of the movie where I would insert some music selections. Music doesn't have to overpower the acting. That's not the purpose of music. Music is to give another edge, another flare of excitement, suspense, what have you.

It seems to me, Vance, that you think music is supposed 'to sound good to the ear' and all of that. People think of music as being all consonance. dissonance is what makes music interesting. When you hear some 4-3 suspensions (creates dissonance and eventually gives a great resolution feel once it's resolves to the 3rd scale degree). Things like this aren't worth arguing since you don't know what I'm saying. I'm not calling you ignorant or anything; I'm just saying there is no purpose in making a long drawn-out arguement to an uninformed person.

If you're gonna judge a movie just because of it's music...well then thats just lame.
