Author	Topic: m&m commercial movie soundtrack music??

gymiller Non-Standard Userer	There is a new m&m commercial (with a couple looking at a poster of a green m&m) that uses a popular movie soundtrack piece. I couldn't remember if it was from The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption or American Beauty. Can anyone help??? Here is a link to the commercial: http://www.m-ms.com/green/video/05_all_growed_up_300.asf Thanks, Gene [Message edited by gymiller on 08-28-2001] [Message edited by gymiller on 08-28-2001]

dgoldwas Standard Userer	Gosh, they all sound the same, don't they? I would have to say THE GREEN MILE - and that would make more sense, considering the poster in the commercial, eh? Dan

Boatnh8084 Standard Userer	Actually, i'm pretty sure it's from american beauty. The track is either track eight or track eighteen on the score. They're both basically the same, the first being called "American Beauty", and the latter "A Rose by any name" i have never heard the complete green mile score, however, but when i saw the commercial i instantly recognized the american beauty score.

Shaun Rutherford Standard Userer	Yeah, I think it was American Beauty, too. I don't think they sound the same, either. Shaun

Reddi Standard Userer	Wait a minute! I could of sworn that was one ofthe final tracks on Shawshank Redemption. The part where he figured out that the wall was made of weak rock. That was the music wasn't it?

Boatnh8084 Standard Userer	No, it's definately American Beauty, track 8. I know it sounds similar to other Thomas Newman scores but it is not identical. There are differences. It's american beauty. Trust Me.

dgoldwas Standard Userer	<shrug> Who knows. Maybe it's AMERICAN BEAUTY and not THE GREEN MILE. I'm not exactly enthralled with either score, nor have I actually put either CD in to check. After a while, Newman's stuff all runs together like a watercolor painting left out in the rain. Dan Simile of the Day

I can tell just as much different between those two scores as I can with LEGENDS OF THE FALL and ENEMY AT THE GATES. Or BRAVEHEART and BICENTENNIAL MAN. 'Nuff said. Dan
