I think it would be really cool to start a movie with the song House of the Rising Sun. I just get this really half justified ending feeling from it. Like if the movie was to start with the ending.
Its just before dawn, the song is playing and its pretty much all that you can hear. The shot would start out with this very desolate scene with a barn in the distance, and a slow zoom towards it. Very flat terrain. Credits for the actors would be very simple and zoom in from the side of the frame and then fade. The shot progresses closer and the song is still the primary thing heard, except for the faint scraping of a shovel against dry earth once in a while. As the sun breaks the horizon the shot would be much closer to the house as a result of the slow zoom, and the would cut to a dirty man of about 30 wiping a grey bead of sweat off of his forehead as a result of the digging. In the background of this shot would be a beat up large convertible that has seen a few too many miles on dessert highways. The car has the trunk open. The trunk would be filled with 20 dollar bills, once in a while one would flutter in the breeze. Propped up against the back of the car, in a sitting position, would be a corpse in garbage bags. The man would resume digging and then drop the corpse into the hole, covering it, and drop something subtle but significant on top. He would then wipe his face with a wet towel that he grabs off a railing from the house, light up a cigarette and drive off down the unpaved road with the dust billowing behind him as the shot fades out and the song ends.
if this has already been done let me know, cause id like to see it, or maybe i have seen it and the above is just me remembering it without me realizing.--i feel like ive seen this before, maybe its just cause i get the image whenever i hear the song...
