I have seen many comments about how inappropriate it was for the filmmakers to use a certain piece of music during the scenes depicting the tragic aftermath of this situation. I myself found the song quite reflective of the feeling of chaos and mourning (and perhaps even anger) surrounding these events. In fact, the music mixed with the images has stayed with me far longer than perhaps the images themselves would have.
shareI agree. I think that's where the 'artistic' part of a documentary shows - in the ability to capture emotions as well as facts, in this case through the use of music.
I also thought that showing the footage from the games that continued for another 12 hours after the initial hostage taking with all the angst of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song was another excellent, from an emotional POV, choice.

The music in this film was used perfectly.
shareI watched this doc, transfixed, one Christmas...until the music played during the aftermath. It was jarring and just didn't seem to fit. It sounds like something Yoko Ono would do. Does anyone know? I was not happy with it. Silence would have been more effective...IMO.
shareThe music gave a feel of music from that time period. That was the most memorable scene to me and was the first time I had actual heard that song. When I see one I think of the other. It was a perfect marriage. To each his own I suppose.
shareThe music was my only gripe about this otherwise great documentary, the placement of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple (and another that I can't remember) didn't work for me either. Still got 8* from me though.
shareI'm an enormous fan of strangely placed music. Yes, it's nice to have a well placed song, but I like it even more when a song is placed with something that doesn't fit, at all. I loved the music in the movie, and I love the way it was used.
