YMMV / The Year of Living Dangerously

• Awesome Music: The score by Maurice Jarre is among the most affecting works of his career, and paved the way for future collaborations between him and Weir. For a sample, here's "Kwan's Sacrifice".
• Spiritual Successor: A Dangerous Life, which in setting, plot elements, and very title, is very similar—it's about a Western journalist in another Southeast Asian authoritarian state at a pivotal moment: in this case, an American reporter in Manila, the Philippines, during the last years of Martial Law and the People Power Revolution in 1986.
