In a movie about death, they could not have chosen a better composer. This music illustrates death with a sound of suffering and longing, tremulously but gracefully covered over with quiet dignity and finally, transcendent revelation.

its been years since the last time i listend to this, tonight it reminded me of all those nights i cried listening to this, thinking, will my problems ever end?, hoping that some day soon i will find peace.

time passes and we all forget, tonight i realised how fortunate i am, to be where i am now.

i got through, hang in there, it will pass

@mounorman I disagree. Our culture is obsessed with love and treats it with a heavy, saccharine hand. The movie contains love, respects it, gives it enormous power, but it isn't the theme. If it was, the conquistador would have returned to her, and wouldn't have finished his journey alone. Her love is ulitmately the instrument that brings him to acceptance: the acceptance of death that brings peace and a transcendent understanding. In the end the most powerful message is a simple one.

@mjollnirchick117 this movie isnt about death at all i think you didnt scratch its deaper meanings ,i found that is about eternal love, universal understanding and about the vast and infinite human capabilities if you search deep enough ;) thats my opinion at least ..............................­..........(one of my favorite movies of all time )

This track touches my heart so deeply that I can't listen to it without having a blurry sight by tears...

[Stoksie01]

there wont be a movie like this again it is in the same league as blade runner and will become a cult movie in years to come.

"Can Entropy be reversed?"

If you are fascinated by the idea of the circle of life, pherhaps even on an stellar or cosmic level, then I strongly recommend reading Isaac Asimov's sci-fi shortstory "The Last Question" about the fate of mankind and the entire universe.

It is the most celebrated work one of the most celebrated sci-fi writers of all time. Takes 10-15 mins to read. Google it. Thumbs if you like :)
