与James Newton Howard那些经典的配乐相比,这部《亡命天涯 The Fugitive》算不上是成功之作,不过对于一部大受好评的商业电影而言,它还是不错的,Howard也因此获得了1993年(66届)奥斯卡最佳电影配乐奖提名。这种因为电影的大获成功而使得并不出色的配乐获得提名的情况并不多见,不过Howard马上就要梅开二度了---------《Michael Clayton》同样也是这么一部作品。 回到这张配乐,整体感觉很有Jerry Goldsmith动作作品的味道,Howard不单揉合交响和电子,更引入大量的爵士乐因素,比如萨克斯、贝斯、钢琴等等,很好的表现了Kimball那种丧妻后又被陷害的悲惨凄凉和无助。几处追逐的场景处理得很好,节奏紧张而激烈,然而离开了电影单独聆听时却少了几分欣赏性。整张专辑最出彩的应该还是终曲“It's Over”,把动作主旋律舒缓化,配以木管乐器的独奏和雄伟悲凉的和声,优美而凄婉。 总的来说,《亡命天涯 The Fugitive》是一部需要依赖电影来欣赏的“成功之作”。 James Newton Howard's memorable score to the hit 1993 thriller The Fugitive employs percussion to excellent effect, creating a series of jagged, densely rhythmic themes that vividly evoke the film's pulse-pounding suspense as well as its gritty urban milieu. With a scaled-down orchestra primarily emphasizing strings and woodwinds, the music lives or dies on its rhythmic intensity, and Howard does not disappoint. The Fugitive never mistakes suspense for bombast, instead favoring mystery and portent to capture the danger that lurks around every narrative corner. Elektra's official soundtrack release is nevertheless a disappointment, with a complete lack of photos and production data. Here's hoping an expanded and improved reissue is in the works.
