Date: 2011-08-26 07:24 pm (UTC)The Lavinia-stick scene, certainly, I thought could have been quieter. It's a pity, because the reveal of Lavinia's mutilation to Titus was done with exactly the alarming, horrific pathos that I feel is essential to her character; but it wasn't properly carried on. The heavy-metal music, combined with the speeded-up footage and the crazy-acid-vision-tiger-attack iconography smacked of 'XTREME!' to me.
Similar the flying-trumpet-angel sequence bridging the gap between Hopkins' two flawless deliveries of Titus pleading with the rocks and Titus gathering his tragic family together. I couldn't help but think of the first flashback in 'Airplane!' when a woman's legs are shown striding a raunchy bar, only for the camera to pan up showing her playing the raunchy trombone music that provides its atmosphere.
And this is purely my own hang-up, but nothing arrests a good murder scene more than noticing mid-stab that the victim is Miss Marple.
Good film, though. It's just I'd give it 3 out of 4, myself.
