Have you ever watched a good movie that is paired with tasteless music? I haven’t until I watched Nicholas Cage’s 8MM. What a good movie and what a disaster soundtrack! The 1999 thriller movie is based on a private detective being hired by a wealthy family to discover if a recently surfaced horror pornography is in fact authentic. 8MM is packed with all the heart-pumping genuine thrill scenes: gloomy weather, suspicious characters, greyish dark settings, etc. There is great harmony between the scenery and the plot, but there is a huge flow in the equation: the African orientalist tribal music that accompanies the cast whenever they are in action. It is simply unbearable and totally lowers the tasteful vibe. The music is so off with the content that it pops out like white socks on a black tie.
