Rating: 5.0
Not so much the movie but the imagery
This movie was bold and delightful and the action was intense and manly. In most minds it was violent and brutal. I found this to be true but inbetween that I fell in love with the consistent imagery most certainly brought together by the visual nature and general dark and dusty color of most of the filming and most certainly the amazing scoring of the film. The soundtrack like in most masterpieces completes this film giving it the added reoccuring nature of the plot. It was inspiring and certainly led me to believe that this movie would not have been the same without Zimmer on the project. He was masterful and certainly many scenes became epic with his help. I believe the calming nature of the vocals and background music blended into the time and certainly gave the aspect of reality of music to the film. I need this soundtrack as I feel it can take me back to the imagery of the movie and certainly can intrigue many minds.If you haven't seen this movie I truely suggest it. However don't just watch it but listen to it and I feel you to will fall in love with its grand nature. I will forever remember the grain fields as a place I would be calm and serene in.This is not meant to down play the actors and actresses of this movie or the special effects. I just feel the music should not be overlooked as a great benefit to the ears.
