Re: meet joe gump
I thought that while it was a great story, great cinematography, great production design, I did not feel emotionally engaged in the film. My mind kept wandering and thinking about filmmaking, and the fakeness of the CG Brad Pitt face, and Cate Blanchett's photoshopped-perfect-makeup face. The score was also good, but it lacked a clearly defined theme. I love Alexandre Desplat's style; very classical, very complex, very beautiful. I tend to like scores with very clearly defined themes, where I can hear them once and immediately know what film they're from.
