The music attached to a film creates the environment, I believe, moreso than the literal environment depicted through the visuals...I have been meaning to crack open a classic soundtrack and Max Steiners score for Gone with the Wind, I think is epic and grand enough to continue the soundtrack series with. It was tough to choose the soundtrack because nothing matches the iconic theme tune - but, I did manage to find a couple of tracks that seemed to have some interesting points for discussion.
[I have just found out that the tracks are not available on YouTube! But still ...]
Highlights from the Soundtrack available on itunes:
12. I'll Never Be Hungry Again - small hints of the theme litter this track until the final thirty seconds whereby the strings take second-place to the brass belting out the Main Theme from Gone with the Wind.
10. Escape from Atlanta - Only a short track - 2mins 48secs, but the stringed beginning has a incredible fast pace and a strange similarity to the scores Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard completed for Nolan's Batman films. Until it becomes very 'epic' and dated ...
1. Main Title - the only one I could find on YouTube...
