The clip of Matthew McConaughey reminded me and where did we first hear this wonderful song from te very fine Handsome Family . . . we haven’t featured enough of them . . . might go try n dig out more . . . . .
From a film I watched last night 'Where The Crawdad's Sing’ Taylor Swift’s theme at the closing
Taylor Swift - Carolina (From the film “Where The Crawdads Sing”
I didn’t really enjoy the film somehow and found it too clean like a pop video. Everyone’s so pretty and CLEAN! Crawfish live in MUD! As do the Everglades and swamps! Platoon or Deliverance this ain’t!
The wonderful Daisy Edgar Jones is an interesting casting choice here and does better than I thought at first but the two boys are so unfeasibly handsome and she is so lovely there seemed a lack of authenticity we found in films like ’Nell’ with Jodie Foster or ‘Mud’ with Matthew McConaughey that also featured the producer here, in Reese Witherspoon! I saw both these films again this year and found them more authentic and less ’pretty’Crawdad’s Sing DID affect me and the ending whilst laboured reduced me to tears as I am sure it was meant but overall I found it deeply flawed.What did of course grab me and made me sit up was this lovely closing song from our Taylor, beautifully sung and with a vocal range that I was not aware she possessed!
Film reference musics . . . . MUD
Featuring Matthew McConaughey
saw this film t’other night and will essentially watch McConaughey in anything and loved the performances from the boys in this . . . . . .
