The Silence Before Bach
I'm sitting here in my room at the Hotel Montgomery listening to a band play out on the patio. I think it's funny that the desk clerk said "We have a nice quiet room in back for you," and then I end up facing right out onto the band. Personally, I don't care, I'm not here for quiet, I'm here for movies. But why say I have a "nice quiet room" when I clearly do not? So I saw The Silence Before Bach... and I left halfway through it. It's not terrible, it just... doesn't really have a plot... and not a lot of excitement... and is just a lot of people playing Bach, and a lot of watching a single person walk down the stairs, or watching him brush his teeth, or watching the train go by, or the river... So there's nothing wrong with that, I've seen much worse movies, but I'd probably like it better on a rainy Saturday afternoon with a bag of popcorn when I had nothing else in the world to do, or maybe just playing on my TV at home while I did housework. It's hard for me to grade this one because it is what it is, which is just not what I want to watch when I need to stay awake for two more movies. But that's not necessarily a bad movie, you know what I mean? So I left the theater and got some chinese food (oh gosh, the Asian Buffet is just not very good!) and came up here to eat it and listen to the band. I leave in 30 minutes to see my next movie.
