Mixed Emotions

Rating: 6/10 (31 August 2014)

It's not a bad film. The choice of music is terrible though. I don't usually write reviews. However, I felt the need to complain about the soundtrack. It just doesn't fit. It's out of touch with the story and it's background. It also has little in relationship with the overall feel of the picture. With only a few lyrics that relate to the story- line. I feel sick as a movie and music lover. Alfred Hitchcock will be rolling in his grave. Whoever thought it feasible to put this type of music in a western should of got four lashes with the whip. You need dramatic, moody and captivating scores. Tarantino... you should of better known better. On the other hand the acting was superb. It moved and captivated me and I often felt I wanted to reach into the screen and kill the slave-masters myself. Only to be thrown back to reality by the bad choice of songs. Err... pop songs? These songs will be outdated in a small number of years. Rendering the film mediocre and maybe forgotten by many. Where as it could of been a timeless gem. Absolutely abysmal. Some people may read this and agree with me. Where as others would say "I bet he couldn't do better". But I'm damn sure I could with ease. If I reviewed this movie as just a picture alone It would be at least an eight. If reviewed only on the music, then maybe a two star only.
