We've Heard This Before..........2007-01-01

What I disapprove most about James Horner is that he borrows from the works of others or reuses his previous scores (Titanic and Deep Impact, anyone?) for inspiration for his newest scores. As for this soundtrack, James Horner completely ripped the title score "Ethiopia, Pt.1" from The Prayer Cycle's "Movement 6: Innocence" which featured the vocals of Salif Keita and Alanis Morissette and was showcased during the opening credits of "The Affair of the Necklace". If you listen to the two, there's almost not a single bit of difference - except that the latter is far better.

As for the soundtrack, its good - I just disapprove of the uncanny resemblance of this piece of work with already previously released works from other artist's.

a THRILL to listen to! .......2005-05-20

This soundtrack is a very moving, blood curdling thing to steep yourself in. It brings to life the drama, aching sadness, anger, and deep love that are all present in the film.

I HIGHLY recommend the film.
The love story is a love story.
The REAL story is the one of the people of Africa, Cambodia, and all the other third worlds. They are the ones we should really be watching the movie for.

Most beautiful and moving...........2005-02-10

...not only is the movie very specil but the soundtrack by James Horner is amazingly beautiful and moving! the title-melody is short but 'pregnant' with emotion!

a tremendously inspiring and great movie with a very fitting and beautiful score!

Above average score from Horner.......2004-06-24

This along with the Missing was Horners best from 2003.
The synths although dated worked really well in establishing the otherworldly feeling and atmosphere. The film of course while having the best intentions just didn't click for me. I certainly didn't feel that the films foreign footage was exploitative, no it gave us a good look at the suffering of those worldwide from famine and war. The best music that James has written has been for films by Martin Campbell, Edward Zwick, and Ron Howard. These are the type of events we should look more forward to. But alas James won't be scoring Cinderella Man, a Ron Howard film, which composer Thomas Newman is attached to. But that probably won't be a bad thing since Thomas Newman is great too.
