Wonderful film; it captures the hope, fears, doubts, and courage of humanity.

A brilliant comment from a brilliant scientist! I audited an astronomy class in college and one night after class we went to use the university’s telescope. The Professor said “If you aren’t totally overwhelmed by what you saw tonight you should drop this class!

This film, and it's classical score, got me through some very tough times, and kept me positive and, I started to realise, like the film points out, the importance of faith.

Watch it when I was a child and rewatch week ago. When I was a child, I saw film about dream and science, now I got that it films about faith.

Confidential (Jerry Goldsmith) The Fifth Element (Eric Serra) Conspiracy Theory (Carter Burwell) The Lost World (John Williams) Face/Off (John Powell) Air Force One (Jerry Goldsmith) Tomorrow Never Dies (David Arnold) The Game (Howard Shore) As Good As It Gets (Hans Zimmer) Alien Resurrection (John Frizzell) Men In Black (Danny Elfman) Con Air (Mark Mancina & Trevor Rabin) The Postman (James Newton Howard) The Peacemaker (Hans Zimmer) The Devil's Own (James Horner) Seven Years In Tibet (John Williams) The Edge (Jerry Goldsmith) Rosewood (John Williams) Relic (John Debney) The Saint (Greame Revell) G.I. Jane (Trevor Jones) The Devil's Advocate (James Newton Howard) Mimic (Marco Beltrami) I Know What You Did Last Summer (John Debney) Event Horizion (Michael Kamen) Good Will Hunting (Danny Elfman) Murder At 1600 (Christopger Young) Anaconda (Randy Edelman) Shadow Conspiracy (Bruce Broughton) The 90's didn't play.

Yes sure... Williams and Zimmer are the greatest. No doubt. But this... this has a special magic that rivals... well... it's magical!

Alan Silvestri and James Horner (who wrote field of dreams). I prize these guys right there at the top. But yea, they are all good. This particular soundtrack is absolutely stunning. Totally agree with you, magical in every way.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. CS

Thank you, such a haunting theme. Does anyone know where the theme is from, or what provided its inspiration? It sounds so familiar but I cant put my finger on it.

Hello. You can try to ask the question to Alan Silvestri directly here: facebook.com/alansilvestrimusic/ Though, I did try myself (not about this) but he never replied.

@petervogt8309 9 ай бұрын

@@GillesNuytensAh thanks Gilles, I'll try, but how do I frame the question to get an answer? Does the theme also ring some bells for you?

@GillesNuytens 9 ай бұрын

@petervogt8309 I'm afraid I can't answer this question. Most of the composers (and not only composers actually) I have been trying to reach out in the past years never replied me. It's very lucky when you get an answer. Getting an answer is most likely the exception to say the truth. But if you don't try, for sure you won't get one. Maybe the theme sounds familiar because I have seen the film 25 years ago and only rediscovered its music lately, other than that I don't know.

@@GillesNuytens Yes you're right of course. Still, I keep coming back to the question of what provided the inspiration for this meme theme. And why it is so intriguing. The triplets in 4/4 beat almost sound like a syncopation, and the way the melody makes these large jumps - it's a brilliant piece of composition by Alan Silvestri.
