| First of all 20th Century Fox Home has made a fatal mistake while adding extra's to the dvd-release. Yes sure the dvd featured 11 Melanesian songs, but besides a trailer there's nothing else. I've seen these kind of situations ocassionally with for example great extra's on an old laserdisc, while the dvd lacks everything. The Making Of cannot be found on the regular video version, only on the Collector's edition. The composer has several parts where he elloborates on the film, the music, him working with Terence Malick. In addition to that there are small bits of the recording of the score at the Newman Stage of 20th Century. |

| Hans Zimmer: ''This is literally about making a very clear statement, it's more much along this sort of philosophical lines actually.'' ''There's a reason Terry hadn't done a movie in a long time until he had found the right voice to do it.'' ''A musician has a very good sense of rhythm and sometimes of the lines, the voice of a line, the narration should be like a song. Terry sees himself very much as my lyrist. When you don't have the mortar shells going off, I create this sort of sense of silence and in a peculiar way I've been trying to create normal silence or started something that you can just observe and maybe you get drawn in.'' ''Because it takes place at the Solomon islands we caught a lot of Melanesian music. We have these wonderful choirs and we're using some of that because there's a purity about it. And the score really uses this idea of fate. There's this ray of light coming through the clouds. This sort of divine sense, which is the antithesis to seeing people shooting at each other.'' |
| Chairman of Phoenix pictures Mike Medavoy on Malick and music: His process is somehow seen to what a poet or a painter does. He likes the visual sort of presentation as if were to have a sort of strong musical or poetic feel to it. And just the way he works in constructing the story, you will find there are absolute similarities in constructing the picture in a way you construct a piece of music. ''It's not a traditional score. We have introduced a number of different elements to help us accentuate the orchestral score.'' |
