The music is like something out of a bad new age dream. |
I pointed that out earlier in the thread. I still hold to it, but I was egregiously shot down in my assessment of the white man/earth man coming to save the natives from the evil. It couldn't have bee one of the natives, which would have made the movie MUCH more alluring to me. That our hero would have caught on the ride and become an integral part of, but not the savior.
Yet and still I think it was a great movie.
