Final Solution - 08/10 - Przegląd wersji Tom Daish, zgłoszone w (Język angielski)
Final Solution seems to be a slightly strange choice of title for a film about oppression and religion in pre-equality South Africa because of its infamous association with Hitler's 'final solution' during World War II. However, in this case, the story is about the treatment of the South African black population before Mandela came to power and apartheid was abolished. It's also made by a Christian film company and so there is a strong religious element, most obviously the power of faith to enable the persecuted to survive and then forgive. It seems to have had a very limited release, but the reviews seem favourable and the Christian message not heavy handed. One aspect that I can certainly say is of high quality is the score by John Sponsler and Tom Gire, two composers I must admit to being entirely ignorant of, but collaborate frequently, either on original scores, or assisting better known composers in Hollywood.
African music always seems to be particularly potent, it can be adapted to be epic, dramatic, mournful, jubilant, cheerful and can be combined effortlessly with the western orchestra. Final Solution has all these moods at various points, although of course the tone is dramatic and slightly mournful more often than not. It's the percussion and vocals that are the driving force in any African styled score and the Sdasa Chorale make an impressive contribution to many cues, notably the epic and dramatic opening cue. They are frequently joined by Nqobile Sibeko and her powerful voice is every bit as inspiring and powerful as Lebo M's contributions to almost every African themed score of the past decade. In the quieter passages, her performance is perhaps even more striking, particularly at the lower, huskier end of her range and cues such as Grandpa's Grave are very moving, if unfortunately brief.

There are several tracks where the African influenced is less pronounced, or even absent, most memorably the emotive Redemption Theme and the gentle Does It Matter? While it's the African sound, the vocalists in particular, that will stick in the mind afterwards, the more traditional, orchestra passages are every bit as good. Final Solution is only a fraction less impressive than Hans Zimmer's memorable The Power of One, but mainly because the tracks here are rather brief and frequently don't have the time to establish themselves. However, there are plenty of miniature highlights, plus a greater subtlety in Sponsler and Gire's work, which many will find appealing. Unfortunately, the score seems difficult to pick up, so I would recommend trying some of the online soundtrack stores if it can't be found in the shops. Well worth the effort, recommended.
