the importance of music in film

One of my closest friends, Rob Guillory, does amazing soundtracks. His most recent, Long Distance Revolutionary, is a really adventurous exercise in avant-garde guitar composition. Unfortunately, the movie is hard to watch and many may find it offensive.

Music's great, tho.

Remember Roadhouse? The best part of the film was Jeff Healy. Wow!, what a superb artist who left us too soon.

Watched Whiplash last night, now that's great jazz music!

There are times when music is more important than dialogue; as a matter of fact, no dialogue would be as effective as this music with absolutely no dialogue. There is love, and there is "I will kill for you, I will die for you", kind of love. This particular scene in this movie expresses that kind of love, with absolutely no dialogue, just the music.

Enjoy the music.
