Skeesix posted:In both cases when people start talking about the Fibonacci numbers, it's probably going to be a bad time for everyone involved. I'm no mathematician but the musical theories that Joe and whatsisface metaphorise are just kinda wrong, so I found it intriguing not in whether it was cheesy or not but more whether that was deliberate or not. Use of classical music in cinema is interesting for its class/race/gender valences LVT has a certain history of engaging with that canon (he was amongst other things contracted to do Bayreuth a while back but pulled out amid rumours of everybody thinking he was an idiot as well as a psycho), but I'm not really that familiar with his brand of irony so v  v.I'm never sure if LVT is either pandering to or taking the piss out of his core market of middlebrow consumers aspiring to a very bougie idea of transgressive media (cf. Story of the Eye, Philip Roth novels, de Sade etc.) Edit: This is also coloured by remarks by everybody (not least Stellan Skarsgaard who gave an afterscreening talk at the show I attended) about how directly translated LVT is into his characters. Skargy straight up said that a lot of that stuff is just stuff LVT nerds out on. Great Enoch fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Mar 25, 2014 |
