"My mother wanted me to be a doctor. My father wanted me to be a lawyer. Instead, I became a criminal."


This is the long OOP and unknown score for the cult film "Wisdom" composed by Danny Elfman. The film, written by, directed by, and starring Emilio Estevez, has to with a college grad named John Wisdom (Estevez), who can't find work because of a felony on his record for car theft. Desperately wanting to make good and failing because of that little blotch, he decides to become what everyone thinks him to be: a criminal. Not having the heart to do any harm to people, he decides to become a criminal for the people, ala Robin Hood. With his girlfriend Karen in tow, he goes from bank to bank, destroying loan records in order to give the poor a little more time to pay their debts. Due to my love of B-movies, I can't find this horrible as all the critics did. I think it was a pretty good film let down by an extremely self-defating ending. One thing is for sure: you have to be pretty good to score Danny Elfman for music on your first directorial effort. His belnd of synth and piano music is nicely done, even touching in spots. Standouts are tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, and 16. Why did they put the main title track at the end of the CD? Anyway, enjoy with an optional carton of Tofutti ("TOFUTTI?!").
