About this Quote

This quote by Carter Burwell suggests that he does not usually pay attention to the music of a movie unless it is of poor quality. This suggests that he anticipates the music of a film to be of a specific standard, and if it is not, then he will take notice. This might be interpreted as an indication of respect for the craft of film music composition, as Burwell is indicating that he anticipates the music to be of a high quality. It could also be viewed as an indication of his own high requirements, as he is not ready to choose anything less than the very best. This quote could likewise be seen as a reminder to filmmakers to ensure that the music of their films is of a high quality, as Burwell is recommending that he will take notice if it is not.
