"Beck has always battled the common expectation brought upon him by "Loser." In reality, "funky, groovy, ironic" Beck is only one part of his repertoire. "Wistful, lost, melodic and futilistic" Beck is equally as interesting and enveloping if not more so. "Movie Theme" is a perfect example. Beck is a man who sees the world in a different light as everyone else. It's almost as if he feels he's got it all figured out, and doesn't like the final result. So he sings of despair and getting through, fooling yourself into smiling through life. This is the most prevalant theme on "The Information," the constant battle between being fed up with society, and trying your best to blend in. "
WOW, what an amazing comment!! totally agree here..
this song, is soooooooo perfect. can't believe there are people who don't like it still. to me it's one of the best on The Information, though i love most of the cd equally, even though it's seen as simplistic and the kind of album with which Beck could have done better but to me.. it's amazing, totally.
