seeing this movie in a theater where i was working in 89 changed my life, now that i seem to be looking back on it... thanks for highlighting this brings back great remembrances. I believe the composer went on to work on the lion king and dune and true romance The Last Temptation of Christ was stealing all the press oxygen in the world at the time and was playing at a nearby theatre with picketers, etc. I remember people talking up the Peter Gabriel soundtrack and the lead actor willem dafoe attended my school. One patron said to me "Why are people going to see and protest that film when, and im paraphrasing at this point there's a more relevant powerful film here about stuff that's still happening now and not 2000 or so years old." I agreed with her profusely but....i digress. A World Apart performed poorly at the box office, although I have seen it many times. ...The ending credit music moved me to buy the soundtrack. I brought the cd to a foreign country in 1990/91 where i studied at university. I blasted it and other music over my boombox so much so that, in my building housing multiple foreigners from all parts of the world including my own, so many times.....that eventually the other habitants pounded on the wall and cursed at me in their foreign language. Yet no one cursed at me face to face, so they just assumed i was african presumably black possibly African-American perhaps they thought i was a dj who knows.... and Mandela got outta jail and south african canadian elon musk just became US President. sorry to anyone reading this right now i'm working on writing something and how to proceed.... Happy New Year boxing day and Kwanzaa and a good new years to all!
I was very impressed by movie and soundtrack, great stuff, pretty heavy somewhat and with an important meaning. Mankind shouldn't forget those dark times for parts of the world.
Cette musique l'a marquée dés que je l'ai entendue en 1989 au cinéma (on étudiait l'apartheid en éducation civique). J'étais loin d'imaginer que son compositeur deviendrait aussi célèbre. Il serait temps que ce film soit rediffusé histoire ne serait-ce que pour le devoir de mémoire.
You're right. I'm just saying this film score got him hired for Rain Man, which is a similar-sounding score, considering the chord progressions, drum programming, and overall sound. I like this score, because it's I think Zimmer's first African-flavored score. I wish Zimmer would go back to this style of music.
This isn't the first theme Hans Zimmer ever composed - though it is VERY early in his career. I believe his first solo work was on a picture called Vardo (1985). He also worked with British composer Stanley Myers, as far back as Moonlighting in 1982. I'm a Zimfreak, always have been, always will be ;). Thanks for the upload!

Very Rain Man-esque. I love it.

This piece is so captivating. One of his best works. Unforgettable.

I really love Zimmer's early stuff! This piece is so great!!!
Even in 2017!

The lion king style?
@@markoharamija4945 Pretty much. And I think Lion King was the last score he did in this style.
@@valjean3663 nope he also did Tears of the Sun. Go listen to the cue "The Journey/Kopano part 3"
This is Zimmer’s first official score!
First 3 minutes sound like they should be on the Days of Thunder score
I hope someone eventually uploads the movie here in RUclips.
Belle musique pour un beau film.

2:19 Powerful moment 🔥
@JoeSynderwalk That's True...he first worked on Moonlighting with Myers which was made in their studio called Lillie Yard. Zimmer for life :D
superdupermusic
@MerigonGwynnoi Yes it is. Why won't he go back to this rhythmic style of music? >_
This wasn’t the first movie theme he composed
@seth141991
Yeah!! So true!
