Another in a LONG line of hauntingly beautiful film scores by Thomas Newman; simply the best. Emotionally straining (a good thing) where happiness and sadness are not that far apart, is the best way for me to describe Thomas Newman's fim music. He is up there with Jerry Goldsmith, Maurice Jarre, John Barry, John Carpenter & Alan Howarth.
I saw then that my father's only fear was that his son would follow the same road. And that was the last time I ever held a gun. People always thought I grew up on a farm. And I guess, in a way, I did. But I lived a lifetime before that, in those six weeks on the road in the winter of 1931. When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man, or if there was just no good in him at all, I always give the same answer. I just tell them... he was my father.
There are many stories about Michael Sullivan. Some say he was a decent man. Others say there was no good in him at all. But I once spent 6 weeks on the road with him, in the winter of 1931. This is our story.
I think part of the appeal of this film is that it makes many sons think a little more deeply about their fathers, and vice versa, and somehow this piece of music seems to evoke that; it certainly stays with you, as does the film.
@300daysandnights The best movies ever man. I like them too and of course American Beauty :). Thomas Newman had composed music for these all 4 movies.
i listened to so many other thomas newman tracks on here trying to find another road to perdition(title theme), or something similar, and i cant even find anything close
Look up "Meet Joe Black" and the second to last track of "A Series of Unfortunate Events", theres also The Green Mile and Shawshank. They are all similar and gorgeous!
Thomas Newman did the music for Road To Perdition, and Revolutionary Road. If I ever make a movie Im putting the word "road" in the title so Mr. Newman would honor me with his music.
Every time people talk about the best films of the last decade and don't mention Road to Perdition, I just think of this music and how beautiful it is- how beautiful the film is, and how tragic it is that people overlook it.
Sadly underrated, and yet this would be one of the first movies I would suggest my kids to watch in years to come. This theme made me press rewind countless times when I heard it. Thomas Newman is a hero!
God that face Tom Hanks makes is just so sad...almost as sad as the face Will Smith can make when he's acting. If you've ever watched 7 pounds...or Pursuit of Happiness...sheesh they're the only movies that's made me cry, and this one.
RIP Paul Newman. He is the fuckin' man.

Natural law. Sons are put on this earth to trouble their fathers.
This is the life we chose, the life we lead. And there is only one guarantee: none of us will see Heaven.
