Gorgeous film, amazing novel, and such an elegant soundtrack. It's hard to understand how perfect these compositions are until you see the movie, as they were written as a direct reaction.

The book was good, a bit simple but it did add a sort of desolated feel to it. I wanna see the movie now.

It suffers a little from the same homogenous element that held the novel back, but it's honestly a minor critique and I can't imagine how they could have adapted the screenplay in any better way.

SUPER COOL FACT: Conway Savage, the pianist for the Bad Seeds, was married for a long time to my cousin once removed. I talked to him a lot at Christmas gatherings, he is such a cool dude.

I know, but I haven't seen him in a couple of years now. It really sucks because in those few years I've become extremely interest in both listening and writing music, so I'd love to just listen to him speak about his own experiences with everything he's done. Everyone should check out his solo record by the way.

Yeah heres the last paragraph.



Once there were brook trouts in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.


If that doesnt make you want to read it then your a moron.

Lol if it had anything to do with the story line then I wouldnt have posted it, it just shows the literary brilliance that the book provides.

So it won't spoil anything, and it doesn't need the rest of the book to precede it to make it really good? If so i'll read it haha

Can anyone recommend any other awesome film soundtracks? Perhaps in a similar vein to this..? Or not actually, doesn't really matter as long as it's good!
