    Oh my god, I love the music in this film. Having PTA and a member of Radiohead do something together was like a dream come true for me, and the result was all I was hoping for and more. I really admire the fact that Anderson shot the whole film without knowing what the music was going to be, and then arranged the pieces that Jonny Greenwood sent him so perfectly - it's seemless.

    Naturally I disagree with people who thought it was "too much". Seriously, does anyone watch Vertigo, 2001, or even something like E.T., and think "Whoah, too much!"

  2.  

    The music reminds me of the soundtrack to "Ravenous" in many ways, which was very unusual in spots.

    I loved the score. Especially the "Future Markets" piece, which is the one used in the trailer.

  3.  

    As hard as this may be to believe, I only got around to buying the soundtrack this weekend. Of course it was cool to listen to at home, and despite the fact I hate CDs being packaged in cardboard, I really, really dug the photo on the back with DP and HW standing side by side on the derrick. Very iconic. I'd love to find a still of that.

    i got the score for christmas, and here we are, almost four months later, and it's still pretty much the only thing i listen to...it's a strange thing to listen to while walking the city streets, because i feel like i'm in some sort of bizarro horror film.

    H.W. looks HILARIOUS in that picture.
  10.  

    these are my most severe complaints about the film:

    the chocie of Arvo Part was a god send however, i would have prefered teh pieces "Speigel em Spiegel," or "Fur Alina,".  And the end song by Brahms, I know now is synonymus with, um, the end, however, I would have preferred Rachmaninovs No. 2 in C Minor.  I think its a little more moving, however, the Brahms piece is a little more humorous (rediculous?) for the absurd (And lovely) end.  If you havent heard Dvoraks Op. 75 Romantic pieces for Violin and piano, teh forth piece, than I isnst you do.  Its extraordinary.

    is that henry in the background of that picture? or is it that plainview employee who looks a lot like henry who is in plainview's office during the "eli offering to bless the well" scene?

  12.  

    Well, the shot seems to have been taken at the time the well was not blessed--witness the new lumber--so I doubt that's Henry.

  13.  

    The score was amazing! I loved it! Jonny did a great job with it!

  14.  

    To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Radiohead. But Jonny is fucking great! And all of his scores are great.

  15.  

    all the songs from the movie I liked best aren't on the soundtrack, which blows, and I can't buy them from itunes or download them on limewire.

  16.  

    The usage of Fratres (in response to Armies of My Boot) is far more significant than just an aesthetic choice.  The inclusion of the works by Pärt and Brahms just underscore the complexity of this film.  There is a great deal of history bound up with both pieces (when they were composed and why), and the semiotic rationales (both syntactic and semantic).

  17.  

    Lay it on us, notyet. I for one would love to know more.

  18.  

    I've been focusing more on the inclusion of the Pärt work and I'm actually attempting to work up an article on it (oh, the life of an upstart academic). The piece itself is complicated enough, deceptively, to warrant further analysis outside its use in the film, but the very fact that a transcription -- an arrangement -- of Fratres is used instead of the original version of the work (set for chamber orchestra, as opposed to the piano/cello reduction used in the film) is at least a superficial statement toward the use of at least this piece as an additional, unexpected foreshadowing layer for the introduction of Henry "Plainview." There's more to it and what I've scrawled out so far is pretty long... I should probably confine it to its own post, but I'll place it here as a comment...in either case, after I do some proofreading. (Fair warning: there will be musical jargon)

  19.  

    Yes, notyet, I have my attention.  Elucidate please.  Im going to go watch teh movie now.

  20.  

    That's cool. I come from a musical family, though I have no talent there myself. My mom used to be with the Houston Symphony in the Barbirolli days.

    I must confess, however, a total ignorance of Pärt. What scene was his music used?
