The music in this great film
Is it just me.. Or was Peter Robinson's Sound track too close to resemble Thomas Newman's "American Beauty"???
I made the same connection as I was watching the movie, so I guess that makes two of us.

Great great soundtrack!
shareYes I agree, It is a great soundtrack!
shareMy god, I just started watching this and the sounds sound identical.
It's an interesting soundtrack which works perfectly...or I'm just too fond of Thomas Newman's classic score.
I made the same connection as well! It also reminded me of the musical score of the action flick "true romance" which did sounded happier though. But it had the same instruments and rithm. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong :)
shareI was surprised that Newman was not credited at all for the music since the score was practically a re-mix of that for "American Beauty". Then again, that Thomas Newman music is the new fashion. I remember seeing (or hearing) it used for an episode of "Arliss" on HBO, without irony, shortly after the movie came out. It must be on countless other things since then. Newman himself even ripped it off for "6 Feet Under".
The music from "True Romance" is Hans Zimmer ripping off Carl Orff. If I ever score a film, I'm using a xylophone/marimba for sure.
