What the sound track should be!



Hero of War- Rise Against
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DboMAghWcA


"Hero Of War"

He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

Move B****- Ludacris

For the scene where Billy’s wife is driving to the hospital, self  explanatory.

Take my Breath Away-Berlin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpIazkOqBVc
The scene where Billy’s wife dies of carbon monoxide poisoning. She is driving to the hospital because of Billy and she dies and her breath is taken away.

Time- Hanz Zimmer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuAGGZNfUkU
Just for the scene of all the destruction in Dresden, and the soldiers walking out of this disaster alive and well. Tune really depicts this moment.

Better of Alone- Alice Dj
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHjNmyzrVvM
Billy, after his wife dies seems not to be upset and his mind seems to be lost in thought.

Free Falling- John Mayer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBrD7CDKeA0
When the plane is crashing, just an ironic line for the  song.

You and Me- One Night Only
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjwJaxIbFKk
Closing song, just as everything has gone wrong he seems very happy with his new partner locked in a cage staring at some fireworks. Him and her, You and me.

  1. First, your sense of humor really shows here with all of the ironic songs which you chose to match to certain scenes. Moreover, it interested me that you chose all specific scenes as opposed to bigger themes. I could imagine you directing the movie (though you'd hopefully improve it) and placing these songs as such for your own enjoyment if nobody else's.

  2. Great sense of humor with "Take My Breath Away". I like the addition of "Free Falling". Not only is there great irony in the literal falling associated with the plane crash, Billy falls through time. "Gonna free fall out into nothin' / Gonna Leave this world for a while"
