The Social Network Henley Royal Regatta Boat Race [HD]

[DMerk2012]

The problems with this scene:

The rowers on both teams barely look tired. If you've ever seen an actual race you know how exhausted they get.

The rowers kept looking out of the boat. If there's one thing you learn in rowing it's to never, ever, EVER look at the other crew.

The riggers are too old for this time period. This race happened somewhat recently, and any boat that entered Henley that year would have used wing riggers.

The song makes perfect sense. You're taking a classic/old song and putting up against a rather classic/old sport. The prestige of the song with the modern electro/computer mix on it symbolizes the era of computers. Starting off slow and then going fast and becoming more corrupt as it goes on fits perfectly with the moving. I loved it. Idk why some of you think it doesn't fit. Fits rather perfect to me.

This scene is the scene that won the Oscar for Best Editing!

what's that song from

[tinyraptor]

@thatringokid It's called "In the Hall of the Mountain King", by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. They did the original soundtrack for the film.

[3243F6A8885]

@tinyraptor Which is a remix of a piece of music composed by Edvard Grieg in 1876.

[notserp427]

@tinyraptor the song is actually by edvard grieg.  reznor and ross just made a cover.

[kirkeskov]

@thatringokid originally it was composed by norwegian Edvard Grieg for the play 'Peer Gynt'.

[redgrave2000]

@thatringokid No idea but it is the WORST music for it.

[essteje]

@redgrave2000 Can't you feel their pain thanks to the music?

Just learn to see beyond, the music. The rythm of the music helps us to feel their pain.

This music isn't important, it's everything

[redgrave2000]

@essteje No, just makes me feel sick.
