the charm around your neck....

I've always been a fan of when music & film merge into one.

this is one of my most favorite movie scenes in any wes anderson film and in movies in general.

intense? yes. morbid? but the images and song both just give this haunting feeling and creation. It's reality, life isn't that great all the time. And I think this scene reminds us that.



to enjoy the scene sans blood, sans intensity; please enjoy this archived footage and complete song:

i am ready, i am ready, i am ready, i am fine...

Known to some but more to few, I almost went to film school out of high school instead of A&M. I used to be a huge admirer of film, but over the years music has filled up more of my time.

I still have quite a few strong views about film. One thing I like to consider of state is about my love for when film and music can merge into one being of just utter genius. A clip where the music fits so perfectly with the actions on the screen, you believe that no other song could be placed there.

Here are some favorites:

Fight Club-last scene-song: The Pixies "Where is my mind?"



Cruel Intentions-the first-song: Counting Crows "Color Blind"



Half Nelson-at a loss over a lover gone: Broken Social Scene "Lover's Spit" (Feist Version)



The whole Half Nelson movie is scored by broken social scene. It is an example of sheer beauty; how the two intertwine to tell a heart wrenching story of friendship, lonelyness, and trying to survive.
