The Way Back Soundtrack-Tibet (Burkhard Dallwitz)

Heartbreaking piece of music for my favorite film of the year. "The Way Back" is Peter Weir's first film since 2003's "Master and Commander." "The Way Back" is a meditative and unhurried epic that tells the story of a group of men who break out of a Siberian prison and trek all the way to India. The film has had an average lifespan run of 3 weeks in theaters, and only received one Academy Award nomination for makeup. This is the finest film I have seen all year. Tremendous performances all around, breathtaking photography that recalls the days of David Lean, and a spiritually fulfilling score by Burkhard Dallwitz (perfectly used by Weir at the most intense moments in the film), who worked with Phillip Glass on Weir's previous film "The Truman Show." Had this film been released in the 1970s, it would have deservedly swept the Oscars.

I can never forget this theme. I saw film and mesmerized by the adagio soundtrack of tibet and immediatley reached Youtube and thanks you already uploaded all soundtracks of the film. Did any one comapred Tibet sound track with Gone Baby Gone? Check in you tube 07.Ramsom soundtrack of Gone Baby Gone. These Two adagios moves heart and bring tears down in any raw man's heart.

While watching Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" in 3D, the whole time I was thinking-"The Way Back" would have been amazing in 3D. Can you imagine the entire "Tibet" segment while we're all walking with them through the Himalayas with this music playing in the background? BTW, "Hugo" was a wonderful movie. Wonderful and dynamic use of 3D.

the soundtrack really struck a chord within me while I was watching the film...this song in particular almost brought me to tears. thanks for the upload.

[MrSizemore7]

@Hotsauce850 no problem! I'm glad so many people here appreciate this music as much as I do. I agree-the music captures sheer desperation, loneliness, and the deepest depths of sadness and suffering...but the rhythm of the music tells us what the characters have to do-just keep on going

To all who enjoyed this film as much as me and wanted more similar films, i suggest you to watch the 2001 film ''As far as my feet will carry me'' Its a similar story about a German pow who escapes from a gulag, and it takes him 3 years to return home. Plus its a real story.. Cheers!

[MrSizemore7]

@Themis711 thank you for the recommendation. Will definitely check it out :-)
