This unconventional score by Danny Elfman for Emilio Estevez's directorial debut, Wisdom, deviates from his quirky, bizarre, and darker compositions. This score is more subdued and atmospheric, perfect for this crime road movie. The premise of the film shows John Wisdom, a felon who can't find work because of a crime he committed a couple years ago. He ascertains that if he's going to be treated like a criminal he's going to act like one. While traveling across the country, along with his girlfriend, Wisdom drives off into the mystique of the United States destroying important bank documents so farmers don't have to foreclose on their farms during dire economic times,while taking the occasional Tofutti break and participating in some salacious Twinkie foreplay. At the end, it turns out the whole movie was one big wet dream. My only beef with the record is that it doesn't contain Oingo Boingo's "Home Again" which plays through end credits and additionally the soundtrack is also missing the montage scene music.
