Ratcatcher (1999) ● Final scenes + ending theme by Rachel Portman ●

[davelane]

I don't suppose you also have the theme (by Portman) used in an earlier scene in this same field? It's the same music as is used in the trailer.

@davelane: Unfortunately I don't have it, sorry. I hope you'll get a reply from someone who actually has that lovely theme.

When I watched the film, I always interpreted that James had died and that was his dream of heaven for his family. When you see the reflection of his sister in the mirror from 1.19-1.28 it was my impression that he looking down on her from heaven. Just my thoughts.

I always interpreted the last scene as a dream sequence, as the young lad had drowned. So this last scene is like his wish for a better life, thought out from death. Anyone else read it this way?

[TheMidnightMischief]

When I first watched this movie I thought that the opposite. He actually got to move and when he sets the stuff down in the field he's thinking about what would it have been like if he had been the one to die, but I think after watching it again I agree with you. He actually does die and the happy scene is the dream.

@TheWorldsWorstMan That's how I read it, too. That James has died and going across the field to the new house is like his version of heaven. Have you noticed that this is really the only time in the whole movie that he really smiles?

For those of you who like the score on this film, you should check out an artist called Nancy Elizabeth. Her music is very similar and lovely. Nothing to do with the film though.

I taped the music on my tape recorder. I've never found any CDs of Rachel Portman's music.

I seem to remember Portman put out an anthology in the UK called "Soundtracks", on which she included this song, but as an import here in the states it costs $50. I really wish someone who's already bought this would be kind enough to post it on myspace or something...

[soundtracks2007]

Unfortunately, there was no album released. I saw the whole movie and there are just ~5-6 minutes of Portmans original music: the end credits and a sad piano melody. The rest is source music.

I think there is not more music because this is an Independent film and there was nearly no money for the music. I wouldn't be surprised if Portman composed the music for free...

Good music although.

i want that mp3, do you have whole album?
