Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0827969309421 Format: Soundtrack Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 93094 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: December 23, 2003 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Director Tim Burton's adaptation of author Daniel Wallace's bittersweet Southern Gothic novel has been billed as his first mainstream character drama, a notion that conveniently ignores the story's inherent fables and flights of imagination. But composer Danny Elfman understands their every dark nook and murky cranny with this magical, often deftly understated score. While the epic melodrama of his comic book scores (Batman, Spider-Man, The Hulk, et. al.) have made him a mainstream Hollywood music star, longtime fans know that the composer's true emotional range is seldom tapped as well as it is working with longtime collaborator Burton. His music here bridges the delicate pastoralism of Rachel Portman and restless, rhythmic mysteries of Thomas Newman, seasoned with twangy fiddles and bowings to the film's occasionally Gothic turns and concludes with the deliciously loopy "Twice the Love (Siamese Twins Song)." Anchored by Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam's wistful theme song "Man of the Hour" and a half-dozen pop chart nuggets than span half-a-century, Elfman's work here (as well as Pearl Jam's) received a much-deserved Golden Globe nomination. --Jerry McCulley Album Description: MUSIC BY Danny Elfman.

 Rating:  - Fishy EndingMovie Title: Big Fish Produced By: Schmidt Richard D.

There have been some that I've bought that are 'inspired' by the movie. My only disappointment was that there were some songs like Sandra's Farewell that I just craved went longer than 1min 16secs. Despite this, I'm glad I have got it. Rating: - Perfect complement to a fantastic filmTim Burton's film Big Fish is a wonderful movie, and composer Danny Elfman's Oscar-nominated score complements it beautifully. Elfman's music is very understated in the movie, and it wasn't until I listened to the film's soundtrack recently that I realized how hauntingly beautiful his music is. Elfman's music is perfect for Burton's magical film about the larger-than-life character of Edward Bloom. Mystical, whimsical, and eerie at times, the score takes you deep into the weird and wondrous ...

Hope this helps those of you who were looking for this song as I was. Rating:  - good soundtrack for a nice movieThe Big Fish soundtrack goes well with the best movie. I was impressed, but I think that "Dinah" by Bing Crosby is the oldest song on here.It's a neat thing to listen to if you're traveling somewhere far away and you're driving.I usually just listen from track 1-7 because they're the only ones that aren't classical, and thanks to Elvis Presley's superb existence and the year 1955, we have rock music! |
