Reply To: Scores Which You Simply Cannot Fathom
Yes, I agree that these don’t HAVE TO be choices you don’t LIKE. Although in most cases they will be. Sometimes, however, they will merely cause puzzlement, sans the harsh value judgement. It can be both, or either. The OBI-WAN example I mentioned earlier was both.
An example of a scene that veers more towards ‘puzzlement’ than sheer dislike appears in Gato Barbieri’s LAST TANGO IN PARIS, when Jeanne searches Paul’s pockets and there’s an extremely violent musical outburst that is completely at odds with the scene. I don’t know what he was trying to say there.
