Music
The track "Remember, Remember" uses the "national anthem" part of the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, and "Knives And Bullets (And Cannons Too)" incorporates the piece in its final two minutes.
The second track in the ending credits is "BKAB" by independent producer Ethan Stoller. It features excerpts of speeches by Malcolm X and Gloria Steinem. It also samples two Bollywood songs one of which is "Chura ke dil meraaa .. goriya chali", composed by Anu Malik, a popular and successful Bollywood music director.
Several songs used in the film were omitted from the soundtrack. These included the first track to be played in the background of the movie's ending credits, "Street Fighting Man" by The Rolling Stones. Beethoven's 5th Symphony, and "Long Black Train" by Richard Hawley, "Yakety Sax" by Boots Randolph and James Rich are also omitted.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Your remark that clams will lie quiet if music be played to them, was superfluous—entirely superfluous.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
