Yes, it's the music that's repeated several times during the movie, during the most important scenes. IE the Monolith scenes and the Stargate. It's that piece of music. Unless you mean the waltz that's played during the spaceflight, which is a nice scene but not really that essential.

EDIT: Actually, I realized you meant Also sprach Zarathustra, which yes is more iconic. Though I did look back and I never said the Ligeti music was the most iconic in the film, so that's a bit of a strawman anyway. It's still iconic music in extremely famous scenes.

3. It doesn't matter. It's just music. Or I shouldn't say "just" music, but it was ultimately picked for the reason of "it fits the trailer." I don't get what the big problem is. Calling it "pretentious" and using the word "snob" quite frankly seems like a case of pot meets kettle.

I don't understand why there's this contingent of people on this board who can't separate criticism of things they like, from criticism of themselves. I have not personally criticized you in any way. I did not even criticize the film. I criticized one aspect of this leaked trailer, yet you feel the need to personally attack me. Why? Are you unable to discuss things without doing that? I've seen you do it to several other people as well.
