North Country - Music From The Motion Picture

这部影片赢得的除了无数的奖项，还有还引来了世界对华人电影导演李安的关注。当影片得到世界承认的时候，观众也把回忆留在美丽的电影音乐当中。开篇曲Opening就把我们带到了广袤的中西部，清脆的吉他让你心驰神往。He's a friend of Mine预示着两人不同寻常的关系。影片最为人熟悉的是那曲“I don't wanna say goodbye",这首歌曲在影片将要结束的时候响起，悠扬的小提琴加上歌手深情忧郁的演唱，唱得是对伟大爱情的无限唏嘘。

What better choice to musically embody a movie about the Minnesota-based first-ever class-action lawsuit for sexual harassment than Bob Dylan, the Land of 10,000 Lakes' most ipolitical musical export? This is a great idea in theory, but unfortunately it leads to another question: Why so little? Dylan is represented here with only four songs, including the brand new, pleasantly old-school "Tell Ol' Bill" (nice fiddle), and two choice covers; Leo Kottke's 1968 take on "Girl of the North Country" and Cat Power's piano-backed "Paths of Victory" (taken from her highly recommended Covers Record CD from 2000). The rest of the soundtrack is comprised of pleasant tunes such as Kim Carnes's "Bette Davis Eyes," Mac Davis's "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me," and the overused "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. In other words, nothing so rare that it's worth chasing after. The original score is represented by three tracks in which Gustavo Santaolalla once more shows his mastery of atmospherics. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
