Listen to the music

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2003)

The use of music in this film was memorable for me.
For music lovers, this movie has Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine doing some original work and perhaps the best placement of an existing song into a movie.
I'm talking about the use of the song 'Sometimes'. The mood of that song perfectly fit the place that it was used in the film. I guess Kevin Shields had something to do with it or maybe the director loves shoe-gazing music.
What does this have to do with the film? Clubs, bars, arcades, pachinko parlors...lot's of sound.
How cynical could Bob Harris really be singing 'Peace, Love, and Understanding'?
"As I walk through this wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity I ask myself is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? 'Cause each time I feel like this inside, one thing I wanna know: What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?"
