This is almost too much here. Desplat is just a master at conjuring up these emotions that hit you like a wave. You don't quite know where it comes from, but you know it is there, and it won't be denied. Beautiful is not a strong enough description for this cue and the entire score. I can listen to this score everyday and not even come close to tire from it. Brilliant all the way through.
that movie is soo sad i cryed at the end cuzz i thoght that daisy was soo sweet to let benjamin die in her arms i love that movie the baby was sooooooooooooo adorable
I watched this movie last year (2009) in February and I really want it on DVD after all this time of not seeing it. This is and most likely will be one of my if not my favourite film. While they both move on in life so does the rest of the world. cos im only young it gives me an opportunity to see what the world was like. Beautiful film
@nacyz77 well during the film they meet when benjemin is an old man on the outside but a young child on the inside and daisy is a young girl then they grow up whilst benjemin is getting younger on the outside he is getting older on the inside and daisy is aging normally. the world is changing throughout the story like the 1969 space mission which is featured and other historical landmarks. they eventually get together then when daisy is an old women benjemin dies in here arms. ran out space :-)

the more I hear from Desplat, the more I admire him . He has the exceptional talent of bringing the footage to the next level with his music , ''painting'' and '' creating'' emotions we would otherwise not identify..... An incredible talent....

THANK YOU!!! I hate the slumdog millionaire theme, it's Synthesizers, auto tune and crappy music, not classic like this.

You wouldn't happen to know the name of the song at the very end of the movie?
Its just a piano and its also the song that Benjamins piano teacher teaches him near the start of the film...
if you could help me out it would be great!
