Free Music Notes for Brokeback Mountain [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Free Music Review: Brilliant music, but lacking one vital song
Hit: 5 Stars
I adore this CD. It is gorgeous music, so well done. And if you have seen the film, it will have you bawling all over again, especially during Gustavo Santaolalla's music.
This CD is missing one of the most beautiful songs in the movie, however: Rick Garcia's hauntingly gorgeous rendition of "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" by Osvaldo Farres. I am grief-stricken that this was left off of the "Brokeback Mountain" soundtrack. To me, it was the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard, and it set a stunning scene as Jack Twist strolled through the mysterious nighttime streets of Juarez, Mexico.
Fans of the movie will not be disappointed with the other songs, though. The CD is worth the price for "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me" and Willie Nelson's rendition of "He Was A Friend of Mine" alone. Bravo to all involved. But if a new CD is issued, please add "Quizas Quizas Quizas"!
Free Music Review: The best love story of this century
Hit: 5 Stars
A seminal masterpiece! The first significant Hollywood movie to showcase a "real" love story between two men, demonstrating to the world that gays are humans too. Not only a heartbreaking love story that spans human history. It is a story revealing our sadnesses on so many levels-from Ennis' chances at a relationship ruined by his father's conviction that survival may be more important than love; to the hurt of so many women who are the victims of a gay man's need to "pass" in a world that will not accept the open existence of their meaningful love relationship. Hauntingly beautiful scenery weaves brilliantly with Santaolla's cowboy country music, the music of indulgent heartaches, to permanently cast the story in melancholy memory. Youthful actors Heath Ledger, Michele Williams and Jake Guyllenhall play out these roles with a genius recognized only in the most brilliant denizens of the silver screen.Free Music Review: Fantastic!
Hit: 5 Stars
The moment I arrived home after seeing "Brokeback Mountain" (on the day of its premeire in my city) I went online to find at least a sample of the soundtrack. I ordered the soundtrack from Amazon right away and received it in a very small amount of time.
I couldn't be more pleased with what the soundtrack had in store for me.
The CD provides a beautiful balance between the hauntingly inspiring sounds of Gustavo Santaolalla's guitar and the wonderfully classic western melodies.
Santaolalla's music arouses emotional transcendance, yet inforces the pain of a hastey departure, both of which are fully explored in the movie.
I urge all who are reading this to order this soundtrack if they're looking for pure musical satisfaction. I suggest, however, to experience the film before listening to the music. It will have much more of an impact, I believe.
Free Music Review: Music as beautiful as the film - true enough
Hit: 5 Stars
The Brokeback Mountain CD soundtrack has only a bit of Gustavo's beautiful original film soundtrack (which I've been searching for all over the place and cannot find). This CD has only a few sections of his score, and many recordings by several singers whose songs are beautiful and fit the film exactly. (Some songs are written by Gustavo).
I loved the film so much and I do love this CD. The beautiful ballad "A love that will never grow old"; "He was a friend of mine"; "I don't want to say goodbye", etc., bring me to tears - as the film certainly film. All through the CD, as thru the film, the element of sadness and tragedy of Ennis' and Jack's lives is prominent. A beautiful love story which ends, sadly, in tragedy for both. (I know the original film soundtrack has to be out there somewhere; I'm continuing my search. "The Wings" alone the film's theme)is worth it!)
Free Music Review: last 2 songs over the closing credits continue Ennis's story
Hit: 5 Stars
After seeing the movie 4 times and playing the soundtrack quite a few times I realized the last two songs (Willie Nelson's I knew a man" and Rufus Wainwrights "the maker makes") continue the story of what Ennis would be feeling as moved forward through his life. First off, he and Jack always called each other "friend" and their relationship began as friends first, also the song tells about his friend who died 1000 miles from home on a road, never hurt anyone, etc. then the haunting Wainwright song (if you look at it as Ennis thinking) talks about what he has gone through to move on with his life. In the movie he always talks very gently to his animals, you can see him thinking these various thoughts while he is working, later in his life, come along little dogies, etc. Very beautiful if you can see it that way, which is how I believe it's intended.
