A Couple Things:

Guest blogger Amanda here.

1 - Joshua Bell did not compose the score for The Red Violin. John Corigliano did, and won an Oscar for Best Original Score.
2 - Joshua Bell DID play the violin solos throughout the movie, and has a little tiny role as - you guessed it - a violin player in the orchestra.
3 - Scott neglected to mention that, before we saw Joshua Bell, we saw From Justin To Kelly, in the theatre. As in we paid money to see it. True story.
