I think that this soundtrack is an absolute must for people who are interested in film music. In my opinion, the composer James Horner has outdone themselves, because this CD is just the perfect blend of insightful, deeply sad melodies and sounds of bloody battles. One feels downright in scenes of the (brilliant) film back to the subject and you will keep for a long time in memory. If you like this soundtrack, I recommend the soundtrack of "Angela's Ashes", "American Beauty" and "The Four Feathers".
