musical scenes??

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2004)

Why do some directors not understand that the music used in the movie (not soundtrack music) is part of the film? They'll work so hard to make scenes look correct, but then this backwoods country choir sounds like the best choral group you've ever heard. And when the boys are heading off to war, the little group that marches down the street in this same town happens to have probably the best cornet player in the country at the time. Didn't miss a note, always in tune! Amazing that these incredible musical talents were all there in that little town.
Ruby's father is another story.... in the book he was supposed to be a rare talent, if I'm not mistaken.
Everyone connected with music in movies should see Simon Langton's version of Pride and Prejudice
