I like this film entirely because of its soundtrack, the soundtrack by James Horner is always so chill, the broad sound combined with the beautiful Andean landscape, that moment is really an indescribable emotion. I first learned about this film when I was a freshman in high school. At that time, we watched CCTV in the classroom. It seemed to be a special anti-drug program. The film used the soundtrack of the film "Autumn Legend". The indescribable emotion at that time shocked me. I don’t know why I suddenly had the urge to listen to music, so I finally found this film after many times. I remember that I cried when I watched it for the first time. Because of the plot, but also because I finally spent a lot of energy to get the source of the music! In the two-hour-long film, the music hardly stopped for a moment from beginning to end, and the characters' psychology and plot development were constantly rendered. The music of this film is a big challenge for James Horner. There are no dialogues in many parts of the film, some are staring at each other deeply, quite a bit of "holding hands and looking at tears, but speechless". I feel, and this kind of mood that silence is better than sound at this time is exactly what the director wants to create, but at this time James Horner added music, and the fire-like passion hidden under the calm appearance of the character burst out instantly. ! In the scene where Triston and the bear are fighting at the beginning of the film, the music perfectly depicts the shape of the bear and his movements when he is attacked by the bear. At this time, the motivation of the music is on the very ancient instrument of the Japanese flute. , Horner uses such an instrument to reflect a roar similar to hissing, which is precisely the embodiment of the bearishness hidden in his heart, at this time the music has been highly generalized. Another scene that left a deep impression on me was the first time Susannah came to Colonel Radru's house. When everyone was walking on the grassland, the broad melody and string music drew a beautiful and moving scene. At this time, the blue sky on the camera. The green sky and the grasslands complement each other interestingly. How can such a beautiful scenery and such music not make people excited? The scene that impressed me the most was actually the scene immediately after, Shan Mo sang a melody like a folk song. This melody was actually played on the piano at the beginning. "The theme of the soundtrack. Later, Radru watched these children have waves in their hearts. As he recounted, the theme melody was reproduced on the strings, and then the scene of Susannah and the three brothers playing together appeared on the camera. Then when the camera turns, we see from Suzanne's subjective point of view that Tushston is training a horse, but he fails, and then we see the three brothers and Suzanne playing tennis, and this is the end of the soundtrack. This soundtrack is called "The Ludlows" on the original CD of "Legend of Autumn", which means the Radlows, and at the end of the song included in the CD, a theme melody reproduced on the violin is added. The theme melody on the violin later evolved into the emotional theme of Duston and Susannah. The war scenes and the scene of Shan Mo's death were handled without the director using large-scale scenes and grand scenes, not only considering the production cost (the film cost a total of 30 million US dollars), but also considering that the main part of the film is not In war, there is no need to dominate. The battlefield was arranged at night, and it can be seen that the film spent a lot of effort on the set, and this scene was shot very successfully. The music begins the soundtrack with a tight snare drum and a series of trombones performed on a low melody. In order to render the tragic war, Horner reflects people's inner hope and fear of war with an upward melody. Here he once again Using the Japanese Dongxiao instrument, the mournful and sad melody hit people again with the death of Shan Mo. At that moment, I was really moved. Not only was the pain caused by the war for this family, but also the indescribable kind of pain. of sadness.
