Last Sunday I didn't make a #SadSunday post as I gave myself a day off that day. We just need to slow down sometimes and take a rest, of everything. Just make nothing, for some hours. Sit on the beach, take a walk in silence, take care of your plants, watch a movie or just simply polish your nails in case you are female. Switch off. I mentioned already a few times that we turned off the tv forever, a couple of months ago. We have never been such tv lovers before either, but now it is a complete absence of it. The only drawback is that I forget that sometimes there could be a good movie that I could watch.
Luckily, we can find other sources to enjoy cinema masterpieces. We used to go to the cinema (more before the new measurements). When you watch a movie on the big screen, and the powerful music is reaching your soul in a particular moment of a dramatic scene, is there anyone who can not react to it with emotions? Tears come to my eyes so easily. But it is maybe just me who react too emotionally.
Remembering some of the movies that left those "tears in the eyes" effect on me, mainly because of the music, #SadSunday post is coming with some of the soundtracks I like and moved me.
Inception: Hans Zimmer - Time
I am listening to this right now while writing and I melt from the beauty of this music!!! Inception is a science fiction action movie from 2010. Marion Cotillard and Leonardo DiCaprio would capture your heart with their life story here, as it happened with me, so I watched it a few times. The music was composed simultaneously to filming by Hans Zimmer. His music combine electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements.
The English Patient : Sebestyén Márta - Szerelem, szerelem.
This one will be a bit strange maybe for you. The song you hear here is composed and sung by Sebestyén Márta, a Hungarian singer, composer and also actress. Maybe it would be better to label her as a folk vocalist. Her mother was also a composer and was a student of the famous Zoltán Kodály, ethnomusicologist, composer and pedagogue. So this song, Szerelem, szerelem (means love, love) was featured in the movie The English Patient, a romantic war drama. I watched the movie a couple of times.
@stortebeker, do you like it?
The Pianist : Chopin - Ballade No.1 in G Minor (Op.23)
The Pianist is another war drama movie. It is produced and directed by Roman Polanski and of course, Adrien Brody as the main actor here conquered me so I watched this movie several times too. Do I have to mention the amount of Chopin pieces played here? No better movie for me and piano lovers, never boring to watch it again, and again...
Interstellar : Hans Zimmer (Main Theme)
Again a Hans Zimmer soundtrack. Interstellar is a science fiction film from 2014, directed and produced by Christopher Nolan. The amazing Matthew McConaughey here shined along with Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway, and the fantastic orchestral music just brings us to other dimension.
Leon : Eric Serra - Noon
Leon, The Professional. Natalie Portman debuted in this film, starring the 12 years old Mathilda. Jean Reno has the role of the hitman who takes the girl under his protection after her family was murdered. The soundtrack was written by Eric Serra.
However, this movie has featured one very famous song by Sting too. Shape of my heart. It was used for the end credits of the movie, so here it comes as a bonus, to the end of my post.
Sting : Shape of My Heart
Hope you enjoyed the selection of the soundtracks in this #SadSunday post. It is just a small portion of many music masterpieces that were featured in movies, and if you have your own favourite ones, you can share it with us :) Thank you for your time, have a nice Sunday everyone!
