Rammann (sp?) noise in <i>Slumdog Millionaire</i>. The Indian music in Anderson's film is more dreamlike and... holy, so to speak.<br /><br />As for <i>The Darjeeling Limited</i> itself, it enhanced my appreciation for Anderson, whose earlier work doesn't astound me all that much (I have mixed feelings on <i>Rushmore</i> and <i>The Royal Tenenbamus</i> and- much to Ryan's dismay- haven't seen all of <i>The Life Aquatic</i>). However, I think <i>Darjeeling</i> and <i>Fantastic Mr. Fox</i> are both great. I wanted to try to fit at least one of them in my Top 50 of the Decade list, but there just wasn't enough room!Adam Zanziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524618281515322239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785859730868628316.post-21847536723553479232010-01-26T06:08:40.728-08:002010-01-26T06:08:40.728-08:00Great piece Kevin and I agree 100% with just about...Great piece Kevin and I agree 100% with just about everything you said. Other film makers use it well but Anderson, as you so eloquently put it, "there's just something about the music Anderson uses that lifts me up and out of my body and makes me feel and reflect on things". The composition, the camera movement, and what the song actually says about his characters and their state of mind is what I think lifts one up. The only movie where I didn't think the soundtrack was poetic was <i>Fantastic Mr. Fox</i>, actually, though it was certainly not without its inspired soundtrack moments.<br /><br />Great piece and great topic, Kevin.Ryan Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054550377681273142noreply@blogger.com
