Title: Basil Is No Miserable Here!!
Review: When original composer Gabriel Yared went out of the picture, Basil Poledouris stepped in. Probably he had little time to compose the score for Bille August's film adaptation of Victor Hugo's masterpiece "Les Miserables", but Poledouris managed to create what in my opinion is one of his best works.The main theme -as heard first on 'Valjean's Journey' -is truly inspiring in spite that it's reminiscent of the main march from "Starship Troopers". However, in here, it has much more dramatic impact as it is very touching. There is also a secondary theme heard in the final minutes of 'Vigau', but widely used in 'The Barricades'; this piece of music sounds very minimalist as seven notes are repeated a lot, but it is truly epic in fashion.This is perhaps one of Basil Poledouris' classics, at the same level of "Conan The Barbarian", "Robocop", and "The Hunt For Red October". A true gem.
