Free Music Notes for The Thin Red Line
Free Music Review: Very Good
Hit: 4 Stars
This was a great buy, but just a little(a VERY little) disappointing. It is very low key, during the entire CD there is never a time when the music really picks up, it is very low and sad the whole time. I still greatly appreciated it, and it was without a question a great work of musical art. And the feeling we are accustomed to receiving from Hans Zimmer is most certainly still there, but if you are looking for epic, this should not be your choice.
The Thin Red Line Poster
Hans Zimmer, trying to avoid war-movie clich?s, accompanies the dramatized carnage at Guadalcanal with a weepy and wistful score. Like the Terrence Malick film, the music, with its sad violins and underscored orchestra, invokes a war that is more introspective, a fitting backdrop to the often purple poeticisms in the voice-over narrations. Zimmer provides occasional adaptations to the American folk hymn "Christian Race," but his overall effect is much more otherworldly. Instead of the earthier martial themes associated with warlords or heroes, this is the soundtrack to a melancholy Valhalla, a story seemingly told by battlefield casualties who are already angels. Less predictable is a brief closing track (written by Francesco Lupica) strangely titled "Sit Back & Relax" that sends out a surreal "cosmic beam." --Joseph LanzaSoundtracks Music CDs
