Default Re: Eyes Wide Shut.......What Does It All Mean???

Andy- I can appreciate that you didn't like the film. I will defend the score to a degree however. Yes, it is basic, dissonant, and any talentless hack can play it. But, what I don't think you're seeing is that it is not complexity, but atmosphere. The score for Jaws is one of the most widely acclaimed in the business and it is not of particular difficulty to play. EWS's score is embedded beautifully within the happenings on screen and adds a great deal to the tension and mystery of the themes. That is what makes it outstanding.
