Apart from the introspective lyrics, it just is the completely wrong sound and beat for the scene, and the images match the song really badly. All I could think of was how someone could edit that scene and watch it, but still not figure out how badly matched the music and images are. Of course, this is 300 guy, and I had just watched two hours of trainwrecks of fight scenes to that point, so I kinda knew.<br /><br /> Yet Leonard Cohen does make a lot of sense for sex scenes in general.Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121208175235265783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572215854135928109.post-11282959793128253832009-12-03T00:33:20.799-08:002009-12-03T00:33:20.799-08:00Yeah I haven't seen this film, but using Leona...Yeah I haven't seen this film, but using Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" for a sex scene shows a distinct misunderstanding of both music and sex. For one, despite having a songbook 90% composed of sexy songs, "Hallelujah" is more of an introspective thing, and the instrumentation is decidedly unsexy. A much better choice is "Waiting For The Miracle" or just about anything really. Even that particular album had sexier music than Hallelujah, particularly "Dance Me To The End Of Love". Oh well, how can one expect genius from the 300 guy. I always said that, if played a proper speed, that film would have lasted all of 20 minutes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
