 "I just finished the ebook on Russell
Crowe. It was quite good. I appreciated the book and it made me
smile on more than one occasion."
Regina, Richmond, Virginia, regirae@aol.com.
One of the best times
to listen to the Gladiator
soundtrack is while sitting in the car, going on vacation, and looking
out the window at the constant, changing scenery.
There will always be trees, grass and sky, but the scenery will
always change. If you are
in the desert, there will always be sand, shadows, sky, but the scenery
will also change. You may
have to look a little bit closer.
As you drive by with
the wonderful sounds of Hans Zimmer and Gerard’s musical genius, to
have composed a soundtrack tailored well to its intended movie,
you realize you have a wonderful, big screen in front of you.
No standing in line, no buying tickets, no Imax.
Just the road, sky, and surround-scenery all around you
accompanied with the music of Gladiator.
If you stretch your
imagination a bit, you might even think you are in a video game, where
all that happens is nothing but your imagination.
Or maybe at this point, you’ve fallen asleep, not because the
music is boring, but because your mind can only take so much perfection.
But if you are still
awake and the soundtrack dances its last note, your mind returns to the
present, where the grass is grass, the trees are trees, and the sky is
sky.
And if you are in the
desert, the sand returns to being sand.
So as the big screen
of the soundtrack ends, the musical scenery outside your car window
plays its harmonies. You again see that there is more to the leaves rustling, more
to the car humming, more to the sun shining.
So next time you
listen to the
soundtrack, you just might be able to forget about Russell
Crowe for even a moment!
