some thread creep from the other site 'What is wrong with Folk music' fits in here, and now the 'grumpbag' rears his ugly head! didn't mention 'Songcatcher' in the other thread because I doubted enough people had heard of it. But I liked it less than 'O Brother', because it had some pretense of History, and they completely fabricated. Why not just make a movie about Cecil Sharp? Instead, invent a 'character' with a similar name and go from there? What about all the people who might have learned about Cecil and Olive, and the real people they gathered from. And the Lesbian sub-plot? added what to the film? maybe turned off some people that might have been turned on to the music a bit, don't know, it didn't offend me in any way, but not necessary to move the story along, as poorly written and conceived as it was.
