To summarize popular thought-controlling media reviews of that time: "Not enough women" Look up the old 2002 reviews if you don't believe me. Always think for yourself.
It's been 10 years today since I lost my dad to Parkinsons. Not really sure what lead me to this song, but I'm glad it did. I was lucky to have one of those dads who really loved their kids. God bless you, Dad...you are missed so much.
Every father is imperfect, compared to Mick in the film my father was evil. Funny that his brother died a year ago and he didn't want to go in the funeral and my aunt said he was afraid to go back to where his mother was buried because he used to beat her and his father up when he was drunk and he was overcome with grief cos she died suddenly. He's father was a psycho like him. Just your regular Irish family lol. Thank god I only fell for a few sluts before getting sense and have no pesky kids
Yeah I know how you feel, I too have a nine year old son. They say there is nothing like the love of a mother for a child but heck we are not far behind. Magical blessings to you and your son . Perhaps in another life your roles will be reversed. There are more things in heaven and Earth that can be dreamt of in your philosophy said a wise metaphysician. Travel well.... I can't stop listening to this music,there is something there that is timeless ,I think its the signature of the essence. Thomas Newmann is connected with it at some level.
This is the sound of a man’s heart opening up and realizing his faults and wished things could’ve been different because his heart is truly broken inside
I got it when I bought a Tom Hanks 3 Movie DVD combo, it had The Green Mile, Forrest Gump and Road To Perdition, after watching the other two I decided to give Road To Perdition a try, I must say I was NOT disappointed, a very underrated film imo
This helped me when I was in my darkest days, after I lost my brother❤️ driving around, hoping to see you somewhere, some signs, just something. But you are gone. Love you forever my Brother. God bless❤️
Hi i'am french, i understand you i lost my brother too 8 years ago, i see him all the time in my Dreams, i hope so much there is one heaven to see him after i quit this life on earth, god bless your brother and mine, sorry for my bad english
@@mathieumalenfer2581 There is a heaven, because Jesus Christ is real If you have any doubts about that, look honestly at the evidence - begin w a small, well documented book called "More Than a Carpenter " by Josh McDowell
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams..
The past the present and the future are all progressive and linear moments seen all at once by the mind. Yes - the past is progressive, you only see it the way you have defined it, and that what controls the future. the present is the window of change, and it only passes quickly if you feel out of control. The present can be as long as you want it to be. Tennessee Williams is ascribing humanity from the prospect of linear perceptions, but time is spherical, and cycles, it doesn't go forward or backwards, it expands.
It’s beyond ridiculous that this movie or the score didn’t get what it deserves but anybody with half a brain or a decent heart knows that this movie was uniquely special on so many levels
Well said, almost always one of my first movies to recommend. This is a true sleeper hit, I think if I remember correctly it's release was very close to 9/11 and that had to do with why it didn't get a lot of views.
This movie is about a father doing whatever he can to save his son and he pays the ultimate price in the end. I think any father could relate to that as I think any father (or at least most) would die for their sons and daughters. I know I would. As someone who never really had a positive father figure growing up I will do anything to make sure my son does, this movie is criminally underrated as it shares a message we can all relate to. None of us are perfect but we do our best
You spoke from my heart, I can relate to all your words! I also had a very flawed father figure. I know he struggled a lot, with poverty, bad marriage, with depression, addictions like alcoholism and the feeling of an unfulfilled and failed life. I know he loved and still loves me and my siblings. But so much damage had been done, my family is so broken, it is beyond repair. So many grudges, so much violence, physical and emotional. Battles and fights, hatred and guilt without the hope for redemption. I can't express how sad I am because of this, but what can I do? I want my toddler son to have a family and a father he can be proud of. I am far from perfect, full of scars, and with a lot of flaws. But I'd do anything to ensure my son a happy childhood, what we never had.
Thomas Newman weaves beautiful soundscapes that makes you look at the big picture, reflect on your failings as a human being, questions the unjusts of our world, makes you cry.
You nailed that one, amigo. Bravo. Such music takes us to our 'Moments' ... the great ones, the not so good ones -- -- and of course, to the 'Moments' that will forever haunt us ... be they of heartache, un-fixable regrets or a love lost. His is music you listen to when you're in need of a good think. But then, one can always find a bright horizon of redemption in a boiling sky of conflict with Thomas Newman's wondrous music. D.A. ps: Colin Watt -- there's a book by the late, great William Goldman called, 'THE COLOR OF LIGHT' and I think you might dig it. Please let me know what you think of it and especially, the last line of the book. You'll understand then as to 'why' you should read it.
I was listening to this exact track several times for about half a year by now and never wanted to comment it (cause music perception is something very intimate and personal). But i can’t keep it anymore- this music just tears out the heart and soul out of the body, even though i’m a millenial, who grew up with Sam Mendes’ movies not saying about all the music of 80-90s and nothing can touch and surprise me anymore. But when i listen to this masterpiece, i unintentionally burst into tears EACH and every time and i can’t control it…Thomas Newman will never read this comment, but if he only knew, how deeply he touched the soul strings. One must be a genius to create a masterpiece like this. Either I look into the sky watching the clouds passing by, or i watch the trees or stars, i retrospect my whole life, philosophizing about the sense of everything…This music is just perfect.
@@catherinewillmore exactly😊.By the way, I'm also his big fan for many years, but to my huge surprise, haven't heard this prolonged OST version earlier. We are absolutely lucky to live with Thomas on the same planet at the same time.
“The road to perdition is a long and lonely ride, no matter how numerous the passengers. Seldom is it a trip made by oneself, but all travel and arrive alone.”
i wish i could be in the mind of a composer t see how such perfect notes, melodies, instruments and arrangement such as this masterpiece, are created that magically fit the movie's soul.
This music is for us boys and girls that have lost our fathers and this beautiful music pulls the emotion out of us and it’s good to experience the feelings and emotions of what we’re afraid to face and yet when we do we feel better because we faced what we couldn’t overcome but did
One of the best films. Totally overlooked. Probably one of Hanks best performances. Everything about this film is tragic with some glimmer of hope. The score pulls at you.
Though my dad and I were never chased by an assassin, this movie really helped me appreciate everything my dad has done and continues to do for me and my family. That ending scene made me cry so much because it really helped me see how far fathers will go to ensure we have a good life.
You're right. That Paul Newman line was perfect. Thoms Newman is up there with John Barry and John Williams. Superb piece of music and movie. It should have swept the oscars!
It doesn’t need to get any jury recognitions to win awards!! It’s stay a classic forever! Everything about this movie for a true movie lover is orgasmic! Rarely get to see such subtle art making such an impact!
Absolutely incredible movie. The first watch was okay; every subsequent watch was fantastic. So much to absorb and so much to appreciate. The acting is incredible, the cinematography is fantastic, and Thomas Newman's score is remarkable.
It’s funny how many great movies take a second viewing to really appreciate their majesty. I think it’s because you know where it’s taking you so you just sit back and enjoy the journey. I sometimes wish real life was like that.
Just finished watching this for the first time. What a phenomenal movie, I was introduced to Sam Mendes through 1917 and it quickly became one of my favorite historical pieces. Road to Perdition I think is up there on my top historical period dramas. I like a lot of movies, I like a lot of Tom Hanks movies, but this one is different. There was this sort of emotional bond I shared with the Sullivan's struggles in this movie. For the elder in his quest for revenger and the younger for struggling to come to terms with his father and their relationship. The movie had the perfect level of tension and drama and I felt visually arrested in some scenes just like how I was in 1917. Sam Mendes is one of our brightest stars in the director world. Thomas Newman deserves as much credit for creating the atmosphere for this wonderful picture.
'The Road to Perdition is a long and lonely ride, no matter how numerous the passengers...seldom is it a trip made by one's self, but all travel and arrive alone.'
This music accompanied by the picture of the boy hugging his father breaks me every time. Reminds me of my relationship with my father, and the relationship I have with my son. I couldn't even begin to describe the connection we all have. The child expressing all his love for his father, while the father maintains a cool and controlled head, as he keeps his eye on the looming horizion for what may come. 0.00 to 3.00 mins
This was my first viewing and I was just stunned as well....This is the most beautiful film I ever saw or heard about gangsters!!My grandmother was 16 in 1931. Hope you all are well.
This soundtrack brings me enormous peace. ❤️ Whenever I talk to someone about cinema, and I immediately remember this masterpiece that is the path to perdition, I have the great pleasure of recommending it, for me it is among the two best films to watch, my wife, when she was alive, already asked me , again this movie. I really hoped he didn't die at the end of the movie.
When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man, or if there was just no good in him at all, I always give the same answer. I just tell them...he was my father.
My dad died 4 days ago and I feel his soul specially in this part 10:39. he was the most kind person in my life and I wish I can see him again .. rip 🙏
Consider the greatness of the Newman musical family. Thomas' dad, Alfred, was the head of the 20th Century-Fox music department for two decades. When he ran Fox's music, Alfred watched over the careers of two young composers named John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith. Thomas' brother, David, is also a first class composer. Thomas' uncle, Lionel, ran the Fox music department after Alfred left to go free lance. Thomas' cousin, Randy is the hero of all short people. This is just a stunning piece of music, worthy of being played in any concert hall.
such a benevolent family, this is what life is about, giving, nurturing and protecting, outstanding Newmans ! outstanding, thank you for your talent, music and journeys, all of which are warmly and deeply appreciated
If you look deep down into this movie it’s about a father reconnecting with his son in the most terrible situations and yet they made it and when all seemed great it was taken And that was the heartbreaking moment that is felt to this day
This movie puts me back with my Father (1908-1956) lost farm and moved to city around 1918 the music captures the era so perfectly it carries me back to that era and what it must have been back then.
The sheer amount of emotion this score demands is second to none and one day it will get the Honors it deserves but has never asked for because this is original and beautiful
Have to admit I was a bit put off by the meter of of this piece when I first heard it, but it grows on you. Thomas Newman is one of my favorite soundtrack artists and Soundtrack to Road to Perdition is my all time favorite, as is the movie. Should have won Oscars across the board, especially for score. Beautiful.
This music just absolutely destroys me emotionally because I’m a father that’s less than perfect and I would do anything just like in the movie to keep my child safe. This music is absolutely incredible and it brought emotions out of me that I thought had died
I wish more people could watch this movie and listen to this amazing score music whatever you want to call it because it totally changed my whole outlook on life. Paul and Tom were so close to being father and son on this movie that’s why it resonated so well with people because it was real
This track and "Twenty Dollars Worth" from the soundtrack Michael Clayton (by James Newton Howard) are so mesmerizing, chilling, and transcendental. Sure path to self-reflection each time. A mix of coping, "feeling lost", regret, solitude, and asking "how do we go from here onwards" imposes itself on my register of emotions.
This is such an incredibly profound piece of music that I'd actually say my life has been improved for hearing it. You took an already magical piece of music, and ascended it to a dimension of unfathomable peace. An infinite shore, threshold between this life and the next, bathed in the eternal light of love, washed by the warm seas of tranquility.
With all the pain and darkness of this world it is nice to be able to find a brief solace in the beauty of God's gift of music. Thank you for posting this. :^))
This is an excellent movie and very much underrated. The music is great and the cinematography excellent. Excellent acting all around. I look forward to watching it whenever it's on tv
When it is time for me to write something, anything, It helps me to find the doorway to that place where all my truest thoughts exist, and it is music like this that leads me to the door and then opens it up to me. And there it is, waiting for me to find it, ready to be gentled into life.
My truest thoughts are my truest feelings about my family and my life. I've had my ups and downs and still fulfill all my life's obligations and have been blessed so so many times.
This song brings tears to my eyes each time i hear it,it's such an emotional song,i loved the movie and i really love the theme,seeing the film and listening to the music made me think of my music career of always leaving my sons,my mother and family to leave home and tour the world performing not knowing when i would come home to see them again,it gets lonely leaving sometimes but it's what i chose to do and what i've been doing since i was seventeen now that my parents are no longer here and my sons are grown i'm lonely and only have my music,thank you GOD,Steven Speilberg and Mr.Newman for such a brilliant piece of emotional work sincerely guitarist,Emmett North Jr.
This music sums it up so perfectly with Paul’s hand on the car and the look in his eyes and when he says to Tom I’m glad it’s you That rocked me because it was real and I felt it
I hope my comment remains here after until I cant no breathe anymore.... And someone read this on the future... This is a powerful movie and my dads favourite.. Shows that a man should really do Take care of his child!
My Father hurt me beyond measure and yet I loved him. And could never reach the depths of pain that he had to endure growing up in Ireland in the 1940s . His irrelevant words towards church and state ring true today. He wasn’t evil just hurt. He took no pleasure in hurting me and my mother and brothers and my only sister.
Sadly, this is the most underrated movie I have ever seen.
why is it underrated? Its Paul Newman's final film, it has some huge stars in it. Its a great movie. Its not like it has horrible score on websites.
100%, one of my top five movies of all time........
IMO the summer release for it killed the Oscar buzz. Seems stupid but it seems like people just forgot abuut the film when awards season hit. Which is a shame.
Agree. Top 3 of all time
It has a 7.7 on IMDb. That's a very respectable score. This film is highly rated. It is not underrated.
This is still one of the most amazing pieces of music I’ve ever heard.
I couldn't agree more.....I used to listen to this for hours on end in a very, very serious situation......
This movie never gets the respect it deserves. It should've been nominated for Best Picture.
Amen. It's bafflingly underrated.
Sure..I agree
One of those movies you never see on tv. Another is Cinderella Man. Both with great music.🙂

To every father that is not perfect but loves his children and is willing to give them a better life.
Willing is the wrong word, it should be striving and that is the minimum requirement of all fathers!
To the McRib as well. Moment of silence.
Too few of them these days, especially fathers of girls.

Literally me here sitting crying now listening to this music thinking the same.
This movie is phenomenal and yet not many people know about it. Possibly my favorite movie of all time.

The child expressing all his love for his father, while the father maintains a cool and controlled head, as he keeps his eye on the looming horizion for what may come. 0.00 to 3.00 mins
Gavin Gooden Your words touch me! Thank you!
An excellent comment 5 Stars.
well put, I can feel and relate to his emotions through this single image and score.
my name is Gavin
Tell you what, my eyes are bolted to that looming horizon right now. Concerning times for me and our 14 year old boy.
One of the greatest movies ever.
This music speaks to my soul like nothing else.
I believe that music can tell more than words can tell...
Beautiful soundtrack, phenomenal movie too, and thanks for Thomas Newman
Stunning movie in every aspect, watch this at least yearly the music and acting is haunting best movie of that decade by far. 😍
This was my first viewing and I was just stunned as well....This is the most beautiful film I ever saw or heard about gangsters!!My grandmother was 16 in 1931. Hope you all are well.
This soundtrack brings me enormous peace. ❤️ Whenever I talk to someone about cinema, and I immediately remember this masterpiece that is the path to perdition, I have the great pleasure of recommending it, for me it is among the two best films to watch, my wife, when she was alive, already asked me , again this movie. I really hoped he didn't die at the end of the movie.
Спасибо Вам , за прекрасный комментарий !!!
🙏
Made me cry haunting glorious and uplifting
When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man, or if there was just no good in him at all, I always give the same answer. I just tell them...he was my father.
Amazing script.. 😍
@@ricksville1 if I remember well this line is also in the comic book
One of my favorite lines in any film. I was just thinking that and read your post. Great minds.......
Love this❤

From USA,Represent him for the rest of your living days, live as you are him.,Brother.
Thank you for sharing can't stop listening
the soundtrack alone should have been nominated for an oscar.
IN FACT, IT GRABBED THAT NOMINATION FOR THOMAS NEWMAN
Cierto
Thomas Newmann! The Master of the screen moods. I love his music. Thanks for this music style for my ears and my heart.
Some things in life don't need explaining ... this is 1 of them !!
10 years ago I watched this movie with my dad at home. It reminds me good days of my childhood.
Consider the greatness of the Newman musical family. Thomas' dad, Alfred, was the head of the 20th Century-Fox music department for two decades. When he ran Fox's music, Alfred watched over the careers of two young composers named John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith. Thomas' brother, David, is also a first class composer. Thomas' uncle, Lionel, ran the Fox music department after Alfred left to go free lance. Thomas' cousin, Randy is the hero of all short people. This is just a stunning piece of music, worthy of being played in any concert hall.
Thanks for the big picture. Had no idea.
Thank you.
Thank you.
such a benevolent family, this is what life is about, giving, nurturing and protecting, outstanding Newmans ! outstanding, thank you for your talent, music and journeys, all of which are warmly and deeply appreciated
If you look deep down into this movie it’s about a father reconnecting with his son in the most terrible situations and yet they made it and when all seemed great it was taken And that was the heartbreaking moment that is felt to this day
This movie puts me back with my Father (1908-1956) lost farm and moved to city around
1918 the music captures the era so perfectly it carries me back to that era and what it must have been back then.
The sheer amount of emotion this score demands is second to none and one day it will get the Honors it deserves but has never asked for because this is original and beautiful
I repeatedly hear this music. Thanks for uploading. Somewhat I feel it is wanted for me to hear often...
I absolutely love this rendition. So full with emotion.
Thank You, I do love it.
Estoy de acuerdo contigo; es una rendición con mucha emoción, muy espiritual. Te deseo salud, prosperidad y amor en tu vida desde España. Un abrazo.
Have to admit I was a bit put off by the meter of of this piece when I first heard it, but it grows on you. Thomas Newman is one of my favorite soundtrack artists and Soundtrack to Road to Perdition is my all time favorite, as is the movie. Should have won Oscars across the board, especially for score. Beautiful.
Such tremendous power in this music makes you go to places in your mind where there is only calm.
16 minutes and 15 seconds of relief in this complex thing called life.
This music just absolutely destroys me emotionally because I’m a father that’s less than perfect and I would do anything just like in the movie to keep my child safe. This music is absolutely incredible and it brought emotions out of me that I thought had died
Absolute masterpiece of a movie, cast, script, cinematography, direction, soundtrack.....
I don't know what to say, the beauty of this, please...
Excellent work! This movie is really underrated, and so is its soundtrack.
Thank you Vitor! Appreciate it!
Definition of pure art
Cinematography +music+acting+story❤
I wish more people could watch this movie and listen to this amazing score music whatever you want to call it because it totally changed my whole outlook on life. Paul and Tom were so close to being father and son on this movie that’s why it resonated so well with people because it was real
Да .
Но , не многие поймут смысл .
Поэтому , каждому своё .

This track and "Twenty Dollars Worth" from the soundtrack Michael Clayton (by James Newton Howard) are so mesmerizing, chilling, and transcendental. Sure path to self-reflection each time. A mix of coping, "feeling lost", regret, solitude, and asking "how do we go from here onwards" imposes itself on my register of emotions.
it started out, for me, a sound score by my favorite composer. kept it in the player, and looped it any time of day. yes, gem of a film!
These masterpieces allow us to speak to those past. At least it feels that way...
This is such an incredibly profound piece of music that I'd actually say my life has been improved for hearing it. You took an already magical piece of music, and ascended it to a dimension of unfathomable peace. An infinite shore, threshold between this life and the next, bathed in the eternal light of love, washed by the warm seas of tranquility.
Beautiful
With all the pain and darkness of this world it is nice to be able to find a brief solace in the beauty of God's gift of music. Thank you for posting this. :^))

@@robf1801 dick head.
@@joshuab2437 I hear you brother
Powerful music. Always remember the road trip with him and his son. Magnificent acting it was so real
Thank's Airborne for this video. From Madrid. Spain
This movie is absolutely one of my all time favs! Filmed around my old town area and it's an experience I'll never forget.
this soundtrack deepens the feel of whats being seen on the screen. A father son relationship. A masterpiece thats y.
It's so sweat. Without doubt, my favorite song.
This movie reaches the emotional heights that it does because of Thomas Newman's score.
This is an excellent movie and very much underrated. The music is great and the cinematography excellent. Excellent acting all around. I look forward to watching it whenever it's on tv
When it is time for me to write something, anything, It helps me to find the doorway to that place where all my truest thoughts exist, and it is music like this that leads me to the door and then opens it up to me. And there it is, waiting for me to find it, ready to be gentled into life.

Your talking musical aputures, gateways to alternative mental planes.
There is alot more to what you are saying...
My truest thoughts are my truest feelings about my family and my life. I've had my ups and downs and still fulfill all my life's obligations and have been blessed so so many times.
@@mindremapping-CPS I don't know how to answer that. It is just what is real for me. What is the truest thing for me.
A reflection of the human experience.
Conrad Hall with the photography and Thomas with the Music simple a Masterpiece of Talent
This song brings tears to my eyes each time i hear it,it's such an emotional song,i loved the movie and i really love the theme,seeing the film and listening to the music made me think of my music career of always leaving my sons,my mother and family to leave home and tour the world performing not knowing when i would come home to see them again,it gets lonely leaving sometimes but it's what i chose to do and what i've been doing since i was seventeen now that my parents are no longer here and my sons are grown i'm lonely and only have my music,thank you GOD,Steven Speilberg and Mr.Newman for such a brilliant piece of emotional work sincerely guitarist,Emmett North Jr.
This beautiful music is what makes me have hope
The cinematographer!!!!!! ❤
This music sums it up so perfectly with Paul’s hand on the car and the look in his eyes and when he says to Tom I’m glad it’s you That rocked me because it was real and I felt it
Paul Newman.....one of the most genuine and gifted actors of all time....truly.
Tom Hank’s finest work!
One of my favorite performances of his.
Newman’s pretty great also, love the time period.
I hope my comment remains here after until I cant no breathe anymore.... And someone read this on the future... This is a powerful movie and my dads favourite.. Shows that a man should really do
Take care of his child!
amazing movie one of my all time favs
This music is the sound of regret and hope and that’s why it’s so important and always will be
My Father hurt me beyond measure and yet I loved him. And could never reach the depths of pain that he had to endure growing up in Ireland in the 1940s . His irrelevant words towards church and state ring true today. He wasn’t evil just hurt. He took no pleasure in hurting me and my mother and brothers and my only sister.
Just 'stumbled' on this when looking for Thomas Newman ... so good, just so good.
alistair robertson Thank you sir!
