Show #13 (At the movies)
Hello.
Tonight is Oscar night and I prepared a special show to celebrate the fact — four musics from four movies that are special to me for some reason. First, here’s a theme from Blade Runner, Memories of Green:
(Click to play)Every time I hear this music I dream of the big spaces of Africa, as shown in Out of Africa. I think it happens to everyone who has seen it.
(Click to play)Also a film shot in big spaces, this is a European view of America. I think the haunting music of Ry Cooder suits the general mood and emotions of Paris, Texas, a masterpiece of Wim Wenders.
(Click to play)Finally, the The Doors song that opens Francis Ford Coppola’s definitive war movie, Apocalypse Now — The End.
(Click to play)Have a nice week.
