    Hard to comment? I think Moonie's comment sums it up perfectly...

    Rahman's music (not just score, all of the songs as well) complimented the movie so well. It's not the best score in the traditional sense, but Rahman's work enhanced the movie so much more than any of its competitors.

    Bah! Like I said before most scores do there job just fine in the film. Drones to fully orchestral material. But Slumdog is far from the best and it blows me away that this is even considered award material. It's more because of the popularity of the film than the music its self a la Brokeback Mountain and Chariots of Fire.

    Why does it surprise you? It's IN fashion now. Last couples of times it was Gustavo and now that they've grown tired of argentian strummed instruments, the next available thing that was around is Bollywood, A.R.Rahman, thingies like that. Onto the next oddity, next year. No word about actual quality or worthy nominations though, those terms don't exist in most awards' vocabularies.

    Well the funny thing is, and I include myself here, a lot of people came to know of CHARIOTS OF FIRE through the popularity of its music, which far outweighed the film. For many (and I no longer include myself here) it is still one of the strongest fusions of music and image they've seen. I think it's wrong to assume people don't like the music for what it is and simply think it worthy of awards. They're not necessarily ignorant proles who want to give film X every possible award under the sun, and they might as well dish out the music prize while they're at it. wink Certainly there's more than one clever person who isn't part of our blessed circle who is similarly taken with BBM and SLUMDOG.

    I'm just sayin'. smile

    If you replaced the word "music" with "theme" then I would agree with the more specific point. Like many others, I was aware of (and loved) that theme long before I became a film music nut. Then I heard the rest of the score...

    Aside... Peel the skin off me by all means for saying this, but to this day, I don't think it's a bad score. I think if you're used to a certain kind of scoring technique, what Vangelis did doesn't make a lot of sense, but (in this case, it seems to me) it's neither good or bad unless thinking makes it so. It's not like PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, where we know the difference between the well composed version of that score, and the one we got. It's a different frame of reference.

    But the general point was, these films often get popular because of music that we don't particularly like, but then we turn around and say that if it hadn't been for the strength of the film, the music wouldn't have sounded so good. One reaction is: isn't the popularity of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK or DANCES WITH WOLVES as scores among the uninitated based on similarly fragile popular appreciation for the film?

    Are you saying that Bollywood style music will be the trend now? Or is it already THE trend?

    Slumdog Millionaire IS trendy now. It's something "different" for the awards to chew on, till something equally "different" and "exotic" to come along.

    I don't think it's been about the trend du jour. Marianelli won for Atonement, didn't he?
    I think it's just that a popular (or critically acclaimed) film will drive folks to vote for it in most categories.

    For that matter, the Golden Globes has a decent track record in the last 6 years or so. They're not going by trends.

    I just think the music could have been toned down a bit. When a film is in an art theater the age group isn't 16-24
    listen to more classical music!

    Golden Globes
    12 Years a Slave
    All Is Lost
    The Book Thief
    Gravity
    Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
    Kazoo
  18. Hm. Not at all pleased with the first two, although not surprised either. Iffy on Gravity; the parts I like best on album are the parts I like least in film, and vice versa, which leaves me just confused about the entire thing dizzy . I feel like The Book Thief, though a good (not great) score, is only in there thanks to Williams' name. And haven't heard the last one (Heffes, is it?). But none of the scores on there would make my top 5, 10 or even 20 of the year. slant
  19. I'd go with Heffes' score from that list.

    Haven't heard the Heffes. The Book Thief and Gravity both feel worthy to me (the latter the clear winner if I were voting).

  23. Interesting link from DANIEL PEMBERTON: Good piece on the BAFTA vote process here.. Possibly explains how the yawny Saving Mr Banks score got a nomination.. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/ja … never-seen

    Not the Golden Globes but BAFTA. Interesting nonetheless.

    Like Gravity this may be effective in the movie but as a stand alone listen it's NOT my personal cup of tea Thomas ! Maybe others like it ?
