This movie was out in the US on the 3rd of October 2008 so my US readers might think this is just too late. However this is another master piece from Fernando Meirelles. This film achieves what Legend tried to achieve and its by far better a film.
I recently got to watch the film, what i can mainly say about the music in the film is WOW, beautiful work!
As much as music had an essential part in the film, the silence was as efficient. The omission of musical scenes in some key parts of the movie just made the emotion be attracted with every element of the film. It further helped the composer, Marco Antônio Guimarães (as Uakti), deliver a sophisticated artistic score but yet engaging to a none musician.
The special moment in the film is the moment of hope in Ward 1, when the music piece used is a soothing vocal and guitar piece with a South American influence. The sound appears to come from a am radio then fading in a proper audible music piece. Once again the silence that existed before this allowed this piece to just shine.
Amazingly I haven't picked up any credits for a music supervisor on this, so i'm assuming the beautiful work of placement was mainly done by the director while the producers dealt with the business side of things. If you are an upcoming composer/arranger it would be helpful to you to own this movie, just like you should own Beautiful Mind.
