a word about music

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2012)

This is post-apocalyptic future when all women lost their ability to bear a child, the world is at war, but the people still hope for the delivery. All in all, this is a good movie with a solid story and tense action. It squeezes a tear at times. But the moment that hit me as the most striking in this movie is... guess what? The moment when the guy rides in a limo to meet some government acquaintance. At this moment, we hear a short piece of King Crimson's "In the Court of the Crimson King". This song is old, dated 1969, and yet it sounds very fresh. For some reason King Crimson's music is never used in movies, although it sounds as great as Heaven. This was the moment when I loved this movie. On all the other accounts this is a quality one, definitely worth watching. Another good thing about it is that the ending is somewhat ambiguous.
