Andrea Guerra

负责音乐的是意大利音乐人Andrea Guerra，陌生的名字，看看简历，他一直做欧洲影片的配乐，和英语电影拉上关係的次数不多，往上数就是《卢旺达酒店》Hotel Rwanda。
有点意外影片找来欧洲音乐人配乐，当然，美国影坛就是个大熔炉，幕后班底来自五湖四海。只是，Andrea没有带来太强烈的欧陆风味，反而恰如其份的给这亲情电影剪裁不太滥情的音乐。音乐运用了大量的弦乐，但没有製造出过强的气势，而是配合影片的小型格局，营造轻柔的气氛，有点像浪漫爱情片的音乐。
Andrea Guerra was born in Rimini, Italy in October, 1961. He grew up in Santarcangelo di Romagna in northern Italy and studied composition and arrangement under Italian maestro Ettore Ballotta. In 1987, Guerra moved to Rome where he began his career as a composer.
His first cinema soundtrack was Viaggio d'Amore, a 1990 film by the director Ottavio Fabbri starring Omar Sharif and Lea Massari. Since then, Guerra has written more than 40 soundtracks and worked with a host of film-makers, including Irish screenwriter and director Terry George; Turkish-born director Ferzan Ozpetek; Italian directors Giuseppe Bertolucci, Roberto Faenza, Roberta Torre, Vincenzo Marra and Mariasole Tognazzi; and German director Pepe Danquart.
In 2004, Guerra worked on the soundtrack of Hotel Rwanda, an acclaimed film on the Rwandan genocide by Terry George. Guerra also co-wrote the film's closing song Million Voices with Haitian-American hip-hop star Wyclef Jean and composer Jerry Duplessis.
In 2003, Guerra won the David di Donatello - Italy's equivalent of an Oscar - for the soundtrack to Ferzan Ozpetek's multi-award winning film La Finestra di Fronte (Facing Windows). The album has sold more than 50,000 copies to date, earning a Gold Record Award, while the song Gocce di Memoria based on the main theme to the film and written with Italian singer Giorgia was the hit single of the year in Italy, selling more than 120,000 copies. Gocce di Memoria also won a Platinum Record Award while Guerra picked up two Italian Music Awards, one for best composition and the other for best arrangement.
Guerra's soundtrack for Ozpetek's previous movie Le Fate Ignoranti (His Secret Life/The Ignorant Fairies) was another success, selling more than 45,000 copies and winning both the 2001 Italian Music Award and the prestigious Flaiano Award for best soundtrack.
Guerra also won two awards in 2001 with his soundtrack for Vincenzo Marra's acclaimed Neapolitan drama Tornando a Casa (Returning Home): the Saint-Vincent Grolla d'Oro award for best musician and the Valencia Film Festival award for best music.
Guerra has also won the Nino Rota prize for the 'high artistic quality' of his soundtracks while in 2003, his music for the TV wartime drama La Guerra ?Finita (The War is Over) by Lodovico Gasparini picked up the Golden FIPA for best original score at the Biarritz International Festival of Audiovisual Programming, Europe's top television awards.
