    She's a milf without the 'ilf'.
  2. I still think controversy suggests more to me films like CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST or JULIEN DONKEY BOY than ... I don't know... STARGATE.

    If Sunil hadn't mentioned it I think this thread could have hypothetically gone on 24/7 for years without a single mention of Stargate.

    Hollywood popcorn. NOT controversial. End of.

    In my mind a controversial film, as an example, is "The Lost Weekend." This film was created so much controversary that Jack Daniels offered to purchase it for a nice profit for the sole purpose of burning it. Rozsa did the fine score by the way.

    The musical score rarely has anything to do with the controversy of a given film (except the LAST TEMPTATION score, arguably, that Tim mentioned). Or - if it counts - the songs in LIFE OF BRIAN.
    I am extremely serious.

    Braveheart is only controversial amongst nit-pickers ( like myself rolleyes wink ) over it's incredible historical inaccuracies.


    No ifs and butts about it.

    And I suppose the fact that you are brits have nothing to do with your distaste for the film? wink
    It is very inaccurate I agree.
    But how accurate are the British sources? indeed... a good question.
    Yet, I still agree that Braveheart is quite inaccurate. Yet, one hell of a movie none the less.

    When in London I had this tour guide that went on and on about "the bloodiest film she ever saw", Braveheart.

    Let me guess, The Patriot is another film you despise for all of its "crappyness".

    Come now, you should be happy that England gets all of this attention. wink

    If you take scores for the movie like "The Passion of the Christ", "The Da Vinci Code", "The Last Temptation of Christ" etc in these movies, music played very important role. Of course, composers might not be considered as 'Controversial composers' but he/she somehow made contribution to the controversial movies.


    I don't agree with that at all. While the scores do in fact play an important role they don't play a role in the controversy that surrounds the film. I can't recall a single article or discussion of the films you mention where the composers name is brought up as the source of the films controversy.

    William Wallace certainly wasn't the hero Gibbo made him out to be.

    Regardless, I DO enjoy the film and the score is a classic.

    The Patriot!? I've not much of an opinion on it, saw it once and thought, yes, it was indeed a bit "crappy" biggrin

  3. The only redeeming qualities of The Patriot for me are Gibson's acting, the score and the cinematography. Oh and also a young Heath Ledger playing his son. It may possibly be Emmerich's best movie though.

    Ah! its quite expected that you never accept any of my ideas and contribution. Anyhow, i like you very much. Because you are the only person who boldly come out and criticize me. In fact, this kind of criticism is much needed and this will help me to improve my analytical skills. Thanks to your response.
