一聽音樂網

本片由于影片內容涉及人種歧視問題的復雜關系上,Anne Dudley在了解了影片結構關系上設計影片原聲,讓聽眾感覺到氣勢磅礴的電影音樂并不是由一位女指揮家在指揮,在觀摩過影片以后再來回聽Anne Dudley的原聲,感覺到她的音樂很成熟穩重.讓人心服口服.

Art of Noise co-founder Anne Dudley won a 1997 Academy Award for her score for The Full Monty, but is back with a very different project here, composing music for the controversial drama American History X. In her liner notes, she says that director Tony Kaye told her wanted the music to be "big and elegiac," and to achieve that, she's employed both a full orchestra and a boys' choir that gives the music the appropriate size and tone. One might add words like "majestic" and "stirring" to the description, and also "traditional," a word not much associated with as original a composer as Dudley.
