No matter how "expected" his score might have been, Santaolalla was wise enough to know that in music, the slide guitar makes about the saddest, "achiest" sound this side of the cello. It's an ache you couldn't put into words. It wasn't merely going for some kind of impressiveness, but exactly suited to the film, really adding another dimension, and exactly the right one (maybe "suited" a way of saying "expected" or "predictable" but with an opposite bias?). Anyway, that slide guitar won my vote.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." -
Morrissey"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that
language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet
it will act on the whole of the child's existence."
