soundtrack too similar to braveheart


James Horner had such an exciting year in 1995 so he decided to repeat himself and make the same haunting music from Braveheart for this film, i couldn't stop thinking about braveheart while watching this movie.

James Horner is known for recycling his stuff over and over and over. He's done some great music, but he's not very creative.

Ironically his music for a highly *overrated* film like Braveheart overshadowed the music for this highly *underrated* film. That's only my opinion.

It's not very good...your opinion I mean.

Courage Under Fire is a fine film but it quivers, pale and meak, under the epic shadow cast by the magnificence that is Braveheart.

It's sad to hear actual, honest to goodness, sentient beings with life sustaining plasma coursing through their carcasses, be unable (or unwilling) to grasp theses simple but indelible, inalienable...irrefutable, truths.

I shall weep for you today RockmSockM09. Yours is a cautionary tale ripe with all the hallmarks of squandered potential and great tragidy. Sad indeed.

I pray God grant you the wisdom to discern and turn away from the blissful path of ignorance and embrace the hard true light that is Mel Gibson's Breaveheart, before all is lost. With all my heart, brave or otherwise, amen.

the opening credits and first ten minutes are very very similar to titanic which was also composed by james horner. but the music is still awesome
