Revolutionary Road
So it's Thomas Newman Day for me, don't care too much for the game.
Just finished " Revolutionary Road," which I was never interested to see, as it seemed to just be a bickering couple. I was wrong.
What is it about Newman's scores that get me in the gut? He has his conventions, chords he likes and uses for building blocks and instrumentation for certain moods, but so far I'm not tired of them, at all. He's certainly progressed from the 80s ambient pop... hard to express, it's like he has 2 or 3 descriptive words for the film, and even though he'll depart to fit the scene, the core of those 2 or 3 words is never lost, and film deepens for it.
I'm so glad I'm doing this project. I've been intrigued ever since I recognized that Shawshank's score is Andy's inner voice ("he had a quiet way about him"), and hooked for life when I heard the collaboration with Peter Gabriel on WALL•E.
