My favorite soundtrack is the one for Spirit, the Stallion of the Cimarron by Bryan Adams and Hans Zimmer. While I appreciate Bryan Adams’ work, I am positively captivated by Hans Zimmers’ music. When I close my eyes, I can see moving horses; his cadence and rhythm are perfect.
Music is what brings emotion into a film; joy, fear, action, inaction, drama, subterfuge, mystery, and much more are what brings the film to life and they are delivered via music. Without music, film is just a series of images, dialog, and actions.
