Gustavo's Music for Brokeback Mountain same as on 21 Grams Score

(1/3) > >>

Surf:
You know that track everyone called the "Death Music"? Well Gustavo used it (or a variation of it) in his score for "21 Grams" first.  On the "21 Grams" soundtrack it's called "Does he who looks for the truth, Deserve Punishment for Finding It?".

If you have iTunes, you can listen to a sample of it here:  http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=77668202&s=14344

If you have the physical CD of the 21 Grams soundtrack (I bought it on Amazon), SORRY, EDIT: tracks 3 and 11 (Three and Eleven) are very similar to Ennis riding along the ridge--Jack washing the shirts--the 2nd tent scene.

I think the music serves Brokeback better than it did 21 Grams. I love the soundtrack exactly the way it is...

OH my God you are right! Track 3 from the 21 Grams Soundtrack is like an early rough version of "Horse Love" (second tent scene music).  Track 4 howerver, is a rap song, surely, umm, you meant another track number....

Aloysius J. Gleek:
Yes, please see my edit, it's THREE and ELEVEN.

I posted a very illogical but sincerely believed rant on TOB today on the topic--I'll go see if I can find it--

My illogical but sincerely believed rant from TOB:
--- Quote ---(Similarites?) I don't care. Yes, I hear the similarities not only to 'Different Gods,' but to Santaolalla's own earlier work on 21 Grams, and you know--I don't care.

If other musicians deserve compensation, let the courts decide and award it. If they deserve it, they should get it, and I will cheer--

However--if this should happen, it would not affect my love for this score, nor my gratitude to Santaolalla and Lee for releasing it exactly as it is because, note by note, moment by moment, it is the perfect score for this movie, and if it were different in any way in the slightest degree it would be less than perfect.

I'm beginning to believe in fate. Ang Lee said during his appearance with Charlie Rose that sometimes a story waits and waits, chooses its time, then makes itself be made, manipulating people so that they just channel it into being, servants of the story.

This is such a movie.

In some form or another, it whatever medium is current, as long as there are people, this initial theatrical release cut version will always exist--with the original Santaolalla score--whatever the "sources" or "inspirations" or influences" might have been. I know this will be way too "woo woo" for many people, but--so what.

JMHO, as we say on the web.
