The movie is a damn solid thriller but the score is easily one of the best I've heard since we rolled over into the new millennium. Theres thick suspense cues (The Knot Of War) and absolutely gigantic action (There Can Be No Deals, The Death Of Major Anderson) and its performed by the LSO with a great attention to detail by mixing engineer Simon Rhodes. I really cannot say enough positive things about this score. This may very well by my favorite Trevor Jones score ever. What does everyone else think?    Posted:   Dec 23, 2007 - 8:15 AM     By:   scorechaser   (Member) Yes, the score is a Trevor Jones favorite of mine too, along with Dinotopia and Dark City. I was always interested in the Kennedy family, and my mom said, I gotta see this movie, and I did, and it thrilled me immensely. I think the Kennedys have been matched pretty well by Bruce Greenwood and Robert Culp. Costner was ok, nothing much really. I loathed his accend, so badly done. Other than that, a very, very fine movie. The score is brillant. A moving theme from the main titles, to the very strong action cues. It sometimes gets slightly repeative, but that is ok. A great score, for an equally great movie.    Posted:   Dec 23, 2007 - 8:51 AM     By:   LeHah   (Member) I loathed his accent, so badly done. Its really the only part of the movie I thumb my nose at it. No one else felt the need to put on a Boston accent, so why did he? But man, that music! Holy Christmas!    Posted:   Dec 23, 2007 - 8:53 AM     By:   scorechaser   (Member) Well, the Kennedys were bostonians, so maybe Costner got his idea from there. I don´t know if O´Donnell was from Boston too, though... Edit: I looked it up, and he was from Worcester, Massachuchets.    Posted:   Dec 23, 2007 - 9:03 AM     By:   Tom Barnaby   (Member) I was finally able to snag a copy of this absolutely breathtaking score.

Now that I've been reminded I wouldn't mind picking it up myself. Unfortunately it looks to be $45 minimum on Amazon. Tom (Servo)    Posted:   Dec 23, 2007 - 2:01 PM     By:   LeHah   (Member) Just curious how much you got it for. $12 and change on Half.com    Posted:   Dec 23, 2007 - 2:09 PM     By:   Squiddybop   (Member) I had no idea it had even gone out of print. It's one of my favorite Trevor Jones scores as well. I think his score to Aegis works as something of a follow up to it as well. I like to play those two scores back to back. NP: Return (Choi Seung-Hyun)    Posted:   Dec 23, 2007 - 2:13 PM     By:   LeHah   (Member) I had no idea it had even gone out of print. Its gone for as high as $65 on Ebay for about a year.    Posted:   Dec 24, 2007 - 10:36 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) One of my favorite films and scores of all time. Much of the movie's dialogue finds its way into my daily blabberings with friends. No one knows what I'm talking about, but there you have it. Trevor Jones' score is an absolute gem. Leave it to a South African composer to write such a sweeping bit of Americana. I found a great book from 1961 called The Kennedy Circle, which has a chapter each profiling a member of JFK's administration. What makes the book so refreshing is its lack of "hero worship", since it was done just as the administration began.    Posted:   Dec 24, 2007 - 11:21 PM     By:   JSWalsh   (Member) Didn't care for the book (but then, I don't care much for the Kennedys), and the movie didn't do much for me. Jones is stuck writing too much "something's going on here" music. But... That ending track is one of my favorite pieces of music, of any kind, ever.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2009 - 10:27 AM     By:   KevinSmith   (Member) What about the "other" release?    Posted:   Oct 17, 2009 - 11:27 AM     By:   ANZALDIMAN   (Member) Didn't care for the book (but then, I don't care much for the Kennedys), and the movie didn't do much for me. Jones is stuck writing too much "something's going on here" music. But... That ending track is one of my favorite pieces of music, of any kind, ever. I agree with JSWALSH in his final thought here. I believe the track he is speaking of (Track 12 on the New Line cd) is titled "The Will Of Good Men". It's a poignant piece, and extremely moving at the end of the film considering the somber thought as it plays out that John and Bobby Kennedy would both be senselessly murdered before the end of the decade of the 1960's. I think it's time for me to revisit my cd of this score once again. A fine Trevor Jones effort.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2009 - 11:51 AM     By:   Gary S.   (Member) I read RFK's book when it was first released in paperback. The movie is tremendous, but I'm also fond of Missiles of October which covers the same territory.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2009 - 1:13 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) i have an extra copy of this score. yours for next to nothing combrm@yahoo.com    Posted:   Oct 17, 2009 - 1:36 PM     By:   monkey   (Member) This is a very good score but unfortunately it was a part of Jones' dark city period as all his music sounded like that. 13 Days is bettet and Jones deserves better.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2009 - 7:51 PM     By:   ANZALDIMAN   (Member) I read RFK's book when it was first released in paperback.

I remember watching it as a kid when it was first broadcast.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2009 - 10:09 PM     By:   Gary S.   (Member) I read RFK's book when it was first released in paperback.

Martin Sheen was Bobby and what a cast in support of Devane and Sheen. 13 Days has the advantage of including declassified stuff that was not available when Missiles was made. Still Missiles is a top notch made for tv film.    Posted:   Oct 19, 2009 - 3:14 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Sheen also played Jack in a mftv movie     General Discussion: Thirteen Days    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
