Music reviews of Flags of Our Fathers
Music Review: A FINE SOUNDTRACK.
Rating: 4 Stars
The soundtrack to "Flags of our Fathers" is a fine recording of music from the Oscar-nominated film. The strength of the album lies in the period songs, which are arranged beautifully by the artists who perform them. Clint Eastwood's orchestral score is another matter. It's got some fine moments (Like in "Wounded Marines," "Inland Battle," and the theme), but is a let-down overall. It's hard to know who to recommend this to. If you've enjoyed Clint's soundtracks before, then you'll probably like it.
Grade: B+
Description of Flags of Our Fathers
Flags of Our Fathers tells the life stories of the six men who raised the American flag at the Battle of Iwo Jima, a turning point in WWII. The film is based on the bestselling book of the same name, written by James Bradley and Ron Powers, which chronicled the battle of Iwo Jima and the fates of the flag raisers and some of their brothers in Easy Company.As if delivering Oscar-winning films were not enough, Clint Eastwood is one of the few directors to also compose much of his movies' soundtracks; even more impressive is that he's able to work within distinct genres, from jazz to country to Hollywood-style neoclassical. With help from orchestrator Lennie Niehaus, Eastwood creates a compelling soundtrack to the WWII drama Flags of Our Fathers, combining Eastwood originals (including son Kyle's contribution on "Knock Knock") with Philip Sousa marches; classical pieces by Mozart and Haydn; and period-defining pieces by the likes of Dinah Shore ("I'll Walk Alone"), Irving Berlin (a new recording of "Any Bonds Today?"), and Artie Shaw ("Summit Ridge Drive"). These are fairly minimal but it's nice to see them eschew the usual war-movie tropes--like the movie itself. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
