Thomas Newman

A simplicidade de uma ou duas notas agudas no piano marcam bastante a minha ideia quando ouço falar em Thomas Newman. Lembro-me imediatamente da primeira vez que vi o Shawshank Redemption. Aquelas duas ou três notas endireitaram-me no sofá e obececaram-me durante uns tempos. O tema do Six Feet Under é de outro mundo. Até o Wall-e e o Nemo têm o seu cunho.


Todos estes temas me marcaram, uns mais do que outros, é certo.
Mas este é para quando tudo parece parar por momentos e um saco de plástico dança ao sabor do vento. Nada mais interessa.

Ricky Fitts:" It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

Lester Burnham: "[...]And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."
