amazing soundtrack

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2000)

I have seen this movie three times, each time bringing with me a new person to "turn on" to this incredible movie. One aspect of the movie that hasn't been mentioned by others is the soundtrack which added tremendously to the emotional impact of the story. It was at the same time both understated and powerful. Now I will have to go back and see other movies for which Thomas Newman wrote the score -- such as Three Kings, Oscar & Lucinda, Phenomenon, Little Women, Shawshank Redemption, Fried Green Tomatoes, Scent of a Woman... It truly would not have been the same movie without this unusual score.
