The result on the images
:34:07
was great.
:34:10
Deodato wasn't joking,
he did a very violent movie.

:34:17
In one scene, I used
:34:22
the Symphonic Orchestra
with stones.

:34:25
The stones gave the rhythm
:34:28
and there was a very soft tune over.
:34:31
It's exactly like a prayer.
:34:37
They also learnt a lot of things
:34:42
from movies like Mondo Cane
and Africa Addio.

:34:46
This sharp contrast with violence.
:34:50
It is useless...
The director already offers

:34:54
a form of violence so evident,
so it is useless to ...

:35:00
Insisting too much on this
with the music

:35:03
would only have spoiled everything.
:35:07
Violence can be appreciated if
it comes with softness,

:35:11
with a serene music
which softens a little

:35:15
these scenes.
:35:19
These scenes are more valuable,
and more violent too.

:35:24
If I had to compose
a dissonant music

:35:27
for these violents sequences,
:35:30
I'd spoil and ruin
the director's work.

DEODATO, KING OF THE INDIANS
:35:40
When The Blair Witch Project
was out,

:35:44
I didn't really follow its story
:35:49
on TV or in the newspapers.
:35:52
I eventually did when
a radio journalist from Milano

:35:56
asked me
:35:59
if I knew the movie.
