The correspondence discusses the subjective nature of film music, with Mick expressing a preference for Rachel Portman while acknowledging John Barry, James Horner, and Hans Zimmer's contributions. Despite recognizing Zimmer's celebrated score for 'Dune', Mick shares his challenges with Zimmer's body of work, linking it to movies he doesn't enjoy. There's also a conversation about Guy Maddin's film 'Rumours', which sparked mixed reactions from viewers. Mick notes that personal experiences can drastically affect perceptions of film quality, as demonstrated by his own walk-out after 45 minutes despite high hopes.
Zimmer's score for 'Dune' was the best and most important element in that movie, yet I associate him with many films I don't enjoy.
Following an award ceremony for Cate Blanchett, I watched 'Rumours' with a primed audience but ultimately walked out after 45 minutes.
