    ^ This.
    Aside from being an incredible film that gets overlooked, I think Zimmer did an impeccable job of crafting a score that tackles the depressing story without getting heavy handed and actually fun at points. Very similar to Rain Man in that regard. It’s a bit repetitive but it does suit the film great.
