Default The sound track of your movie life

After going through the awesome live movie thread. I thought about the movies Ed Tv and the Truman Show, and the concept of what would happen if you were being secretly filmed for a block buster movie about your life. I mean we know that great movies have great effects, a great story, and great secondary characters. Its also always kind of fun to learn something about other posters here. So this is the opportunity to direct a movie of you're life. The game is this. Yyou are the actor, director, and the music guy of the movie of your life. There are usually 4 key things in a movie that require a sound track.

The opening scene, Happy moment, sad in the rain moment, Triumph and end credits. Give me the sound track of your life. If you want to frame the scene with a experience, that's great, if not that's great as well.

Here's mine

Opening theme

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen



Why? I love the classics, I just really like the heart and energy of this song, and its a song about the journey which is what any movie about someone's life should be about.

Ultimate happy moment in the movie of my life.

Ain't no mountain high enough



I'm not that guy that externally celebrates of fist pumps or jumps up and down in an excited celebration, so this song works because it feels like an internal celebration

Ultimate moment of sadness theme

I wish it would rain down



Thanks to the live music thread, I'm now hitched on Genesis and Phil Collins. And this song comes across as the ultimate awe frack moment just leave me alone I want to stand out in the rain.

Moment of triumph.

Rule the World

The bad guy is vanquished, whether its external or internal what the song that ultimately reflects on that? I don't know if this fits quite into the rest of the music, but I love the feel of the Rule the World by Walk off the World (Trust me I was going to pick a Steel Panther Song, but it wasn't appropriate for this board)



The end credits,

where me the main characters walks off into the sunset or darkness or put in a box and buried. I'm not going to be original on this one at all. I'm ripping off the Warriors

So my end credit song is a song that I really love, right to the point, where I want it played at my funeral

In the city

Nice thread idea!

I once thought about writing screenplays about different trips and adventures I had. One was around my trip to South America. Another involves breaking up with a girlfriend before a trip to Europe. I'm sitting at the bar and I notice the girlfriend's new boyfriend sit down near me. He does not know who I am, so I buy him a bunch of shooters, until he pukes all over himself. Then I head to the airport for the flight to Europe - cue, montage of airport/airplane scenes, with this opening credit song (also the name of the movie):



Scene 2 - later!

I'm in. Following the good Captain's guidelines...

Intro/credits: Genesis by Devin Townsend. It's energetic, fun, and strange. Sets the stage nicely.



Happy moments: Juodaan Viinaa by Korpiklaani. Apparently the song isn't terribly happy lyrically, but I dare you to find something happier-sounding.



Sadder moments: Watermelon in Easter Hay by Frank Zappa. Ignore the narration, it's an appropriately melancholy instrumental.




Puppet Guy Triumphant: Universal Flame by Devin Townsend. You just want to throw your arms in the air to this.



End credits: Highway to Hell by AC/DC. This is but one chapter, and there's more chaos to be spread!
