Theme Suite

Normally, I'm not a fan of music/songs that go past five-and-a-half minutes, or are just scores, but there are exceptions to every rule. I love many movie scores. One my favorite ones recently is "Beginners Theme Suite," which, naturally, comes from the film Beginners. I haven't seen the movie yet, but it is on my birthday wishlist, which is coming up in a few months. I was rooting for Christoper Plummer to get his Oscar, and he finally got his due. From what the music tells me, and from what the trailer indicates, Beginners is going to be my kind of film. It may be sentimental, but I like movies that make you think. The smaller type of movies like these that make a splash at the box office every once in a while. They reveal the poignancy I strive for every day as an actor, writer, and director. I'd rather have a smaller piece that said something than an all-star piece that is more style than substance. Trust me, I've seen it too many times. Not that I'm the next Roger Ebert or anything, but I have my "quality" films, and let's face it, Michael Bay isn't making this man's thumb's up list anytime soon. 

Here's a link to the score:
