what's the ending song?
i can't find this info! help please
shareI don't know and I don't care. It is crap, like most modern music, but that is not the main point..
Buñuel's point is that the "beggars are the ones that have good taste", they choose the best table cloth, the best food (Spanish roast lamb's leg is famous, mostly the one from Segovia. There is also a good restaurant in Plaza Mayor in Madrid, that serves it) and the best music. Haendel's "Messiah" (I think it is Sir Malcolm Sargeant's version, with The Royal Liverpool Philarmonic and the Huddersfield Choral Society, a somewhat "old" interpretation but perhaps the most spiritual of all available versions), is as masterpiece.
On the opposite side, Jorge, the cousin of Viridiana, after expelling the "UNCIVILIZED" from his newly inherited mansion, goes to play "tute" with Ramona, the servant and Viridiana whose soul has been corrupted by all the previous events. "Tute" in spanish is a card game but the word also carries sexual connotations.
So, the message is plain: "New Lords are worse than Old Rabble".
Bunuel was the right visionary 44 years ago. And he was not an enemy of God. He was the enemy of the Catholic Church, it's false beliefs, and sexual morals. Not all, but most, still persist today...
Other "Christian Churches" of our time behave the same. No further statements about the music, or the politics of our time.
Get a copy of "A proposito de Bunuel" a Spanish documentary distributed togheter with the USA version of "The Discreet charm of the Bourgeoisie". And forget about songs. This is a movie site, and movies are a VISUAL ART form.
ok, all that is really deep. i just thought viridiana was a complete moron! i tolerated her at first but after actually inviting those homeless crazy people home......i was done! but the ending song was "catchy". i'd also like to know who is it by. can anyone help? ps: they actually give an academy award for movie songs, the music is PART of the movie. it sets the tone, mood, pace, etc. even silent films had someone playing an organ to accompany the movie. DUH!
share...That guy above is pretty pretentious about film/music, and wrong, too. Music is definitely a major component of film. Film wouldn't be film if not for the likes of Morricone, Rota, Herrmann, et cetera.
I'm a huge rockabilly fan, so that song in the end really caught my ear. Unfortunately, I didn't quite remember the name, (the title ran during the opening credits, but I forgot it.)
I think it went something like "Shimmy Shimmy Girl," or "Go Go Shimmy," or something like that. I wish I remembered. Sorry.

Buñuel used modern music as well at the end of another of his most religion-oriented works: "Simón del desierto".
Another masterpiece by "Saint Luis Buñuel".

Well I've been for a long time trying to figure out which recording of the Requiem is used in the film. Do you happen to know? At one point we get a glimpse of the record, I think it looks like a "his master's voice" but I'm not sure, I only remember clearly that it was red :-)
Is it Walter's recording??

Jorge's sense of progress was dubious to say the least. The beggars appreciated what they were enjoying as they knew its worth.

To say a little often is to tell more than to say a great deal.share
