What Dreams May Come - Lightning Scene (With Rejected Score)

This is a scene where Robin William's character is in heaven and learns of his soul mate's death. The score for this movie was originally composed by Ennio Morricone, but his score was rejected and Michael Kamen was hired to write a replacement score.

I personally find to enjoy the Ennio Morricone score better, but don't entirely disagree with those who think that the score at times feels like an 'autopilot.' Still, I can't help but feel that there are shining moments of brilliance in the score, and this track is one of them.

The unfortunate part is that when the rejected score was finally released, there was no guide as to which music fit where. I happened to notice by accident that the music fit this scene rather nicely, so I added it to this otherwise relatively quiet scene, and I really like the result. To refresh the sound and time it better with the events on the film, the song is played at 94% speed. I also put the Michael Kamen version after for comparison reasons.

What constitutes a suicide? Does an elderly person who stops eating because the hospital is keeping them alive in a state where without the most sophisticated technology they would pass?

@UltimasIsland I have yet to find where it states in the Bible that suicides go to hell.

[Dandouna]

@UltimasIsland no, i agree with you... but there is no real mention of god or jesus in this anyway so its not realy based on christianity.

[UltimasIsland]

@Dandouna Yes, but I don't think it being "unforgivable" would also reply to real life. I'm not saying I don't beleive in the evil sin of suicide, it's jsut that I'm not sure if that's how it works exactly. Besides, what about that "second chance" deal? It relates to when God gave up his only son for our sins to be forgiven

@UltimasIsland did u see the movie?

[UltimasIsland]

Why do suicides go to Hell anyways?

the scene with the score is great. its powerful and beautiful. but i think that its best that they used the scene without it. so you can understand what they're saying, the score added too much sould to it.
