一听音乐网

本片由于影片内容涉及人种歧视问题的复杂关系上,Anne Dudley在了解了影片结构关系上设计影片原声,让听众感觉到气势磅礴的电影音乐并不是由一位女指挥家在指挥,在观摩过影片以后再来回听Anne Dudley的原声,感觉到她的音乐很成熟稳重.让人心服口服.

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.
