The Day of the Dolphin（1973）-theme

[GUNBUSTER2010]

大阪学院大学高校の映画鑑賞の日で、映画館貸切で見に行きました­。当時外国の封切り年と日本の封切りはタイムラグがあり、197­3年より何年か後でした。

感動しました。

私の、思い入れの曲です。いつ聞いても泣けてしまいます＞＜。

[mingkee27]

I truly, truly love this music and I can't stop crying when I listen to it.

大学一年の時デートで観た映画。彼女の横顔を見すぎていてストー­リーは忘れたけど、この曲は忘れられない。彼女と観た最後映画に­なったから・・・・

[mizza36isao]

この映画ね、私が中学１年か２年の頃公開されましてね、学校に映­画好きな先生が居られて全学年で映画館貸切で見に行きました。切­ないテーマ曲ながら、大統領暗殺の陰謀をめぐるストーリーでもっ­て、SFサスペンスだったんですよね。

でもって、海洋生物学者夫妻と高知能イルカたちのふれあいが中心­に置かれ、テーマ曲通りの切なさあふれる作品でした。

「パー！」「マー！」これ、曲の冒頭に映画のサントラが入ってい­るんですが、

言葉を憶えたイルカたちが学者夫妻を呼ぶ声ですねー。

切ないラストが懐かしく思い出されます。

@mizza36isao

私も同じような歳なのでしょう。あの曲とのアンバランスの映画の­ストーリーが

あまりに切なく今もずっと心に残っています。

イルカの声は忘れないでしょうね。

「ディア・ハンター」も同じように切な過ぎる映画です。

ほんとにいい曲です。切ないけれど癒されます。

Thank you sooo much for posting this beautiful music - for many years, it was used as the opening track to the Australian ABC Radio program of Sunday Bonbons with Martin Hibble presenting, and my brother and I loved it very much. Finding the actual recording these days is said to be incredibly difficult. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to hear it on YouTube to tap into those memories again :)

Thank you for uploading this hauntingly beautiful piece. May the Dolphins be protected from ______; fill in the blank it will undoubtedly apply.

わたしの着メロです

[heizou2642284]

高校時代にこの音楽に出合ってこんな音楽もあるんだと感激しまし­た。カセットテープが擦り切れるほどあるときは、子守唄代わりに­、あるときは失恋の痛手を癒してくれたり、私にとっては大切な曲­です。

ただ、ただ懐かしいです。(´；ω；`)

[intormentis]

I love this movie and the theme music; thanks for posting this.

I cannot help but CRY when I hear this ultra-beautiful, ultra-sad, ultra-ultra-*poignant* theme (especially as associated with the brilliant film adaptation & its tear-jerker-of-an-ending). So very beautful, so very sad. It, and the film, are masterpieces...

[MonoAzul]

Very nice. I think the soundtrack for Fantastic Mr. Fox includes a couple of George Delerue pieces from other movies.

[MissSkyTV]

This Song brings back such fond memories of my childhood. I went through a Dolphin phase like some girls go through loving horses. The ending is so sad. Plus my father and mother looked like George C Scott, and the woman who played Maggie in the film, So now that my dad's gone. IT's even more sad when I hear one of the Dolphins Pha or Bee cry out "Pa" heart breaking, but a beautiful soundtrack, story and film, but wow that ending is too sad.

[heymisterderp]

I've held a memory of being almost traumatized by the end of this movie, watching it as a small child, and for decades never knew the name of the movie until I heard it mentioned on CNN tonight. Perhaps one other legacy of the film for me, is that I've loved dolphins all my life. Even slept with stuffed dolphins as a child!

[Basketball069]

This is a masterpiece by Georges Delerue that should've won an award. I saw the movie as a young kid and even now it makes me cry when I watch the end.

[healingsprings11]

This has got to be the most precious and haunting theme of any movie I have ever seen and heard. Makes me cry...:-(

[boneshakers]

Very well said! : - ) The sad thing is, most people don't know about this music...or the film.

[elyos1972]

:'-(

[BuBuDaNy]

lets chat

lovin this video!! leave me a comment b8

[shureman1]

Nobody..but NOBODY could write sad movie music like Georges Delerue....try STEEL MAGNOLIAS, OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE, CHOUANS, AGNES OF GOD, TRUE CONFESSIONS....even trite films like CURLY SUE and A LITTLE SEX ! Hollywood wasted this late genius......

[LonleySkies]

Thank you for posting that! I just saw Agnes of God recently on HBO and heard the end theme. It sounded so beautiful I knew it must be by the same writer. I am going to find the ones you posted to hear his other works. I didn't not know he passed...True, Hollywood wasted this genius. Marvin Hamlish got the award in '73 for the sting - I still believe Delerue should have gotten it.

[wataf211110]

Saw this when the first Betamax & VHS VCR's came out in the UK in around 1978-79.

Would love to see it again...

"Faaaa loves Paaaa"

[FaolchuRua]

I was so happy to find this!  This was the first tune I ever taught myself to play, because it was so beautiful and haunting, I wanted it to stay with me for the rest of my life.

[ganimed1976]

I love this beautiful soundtrack. I´d saw the movie as a child and still love it until today. The music is so sad at the end of the movie when they say farewell to the dolphins :(

Great Movie and great Soundtrack.

Thanx for sharing that :)

[andtheplangoeson]

Thank you for posting. Saw the movie as a teenager and cried at end. The music was so moving I couldn't stop crying. I have known this beautiful peice for 24 years, And still concider it the most beautiful movie ending.

[bella1957]

A gorgeous musical piece that makes me always think of the Sea and it's Magic.

Thanks again.

[bella1957]

I have been looking for this soundtrack and movie forever. Thanks for sharing.
