    As we all know, there were certain movies in the history which was considered to be highly controversial. Most interestingly, scores played vital role in those movies. In fact, i would like to share my favorite scores for most controversial movies in the history of cinema. Here are my favorites: ( in no particular order)

    1. The Da Vinci Code By Hans Zimmer
    2. The Last Temptation of Christ by Peter Gabriel
    3. The Passion of the Christ by John Debney
    4. Seven Years in Tiber by John Williams
    5. Basic Instinct by Jerry Goldsmith
    6. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom by John Williams
    7. Braveheart by James Horner
    8. Star Gate by David Arnold

    That's all i can recollect. What's yours? If you anything apart from this, you can add.

    Have a nice day!

  1. How was STARGATE controversial?

    My reference point for controversy is a bit more like SALO, 120 DAYS OF SODOM (Pasolini), THE BROWN BUNNY (Gallo) or something along those lines.

    There was a controversial theory regarding the pyramid of Khufu. In the film, they depicted that Pyramid was built by alien civilization. This created controversy among Egyptian people.

    These list threads are sooooo sleep A little bit more analysis would be nice, Sunil. And really, what the hell do the scores have anything to do with the controversy... unless we are talking about Torn Curtain.

    Braveheart is only controversial amongst nit-pickers ( like myself rolleyes wink ) over it's incredible historical inaccuracies.

    Yes, it has something to do with controversy, may be not controversial scores but for controversial movies. I consider 'controversial' is like genre, e.g horror, drama, sci fi. If you see in the past or now, there were certain movies pulled the crowd into cinema hall after a week or two, especially at the time of poor opening box office. Controversial movies are more spoken among crowds than any other movies. If you take scores for the movie like "The Passion of the Christ", "The Da Vinci Code", "The Last Temptation of Christ" etc in these movies, music played very important role. Of course, composers might not be considered as 'Controversial composers' but he/she somehow made contribution to the controversial movies. You know scores are another silent movies, it is something like re-written script for the movies through incredible musical composition. So, you can't neglect this thread as unnecessary, if you want, that's your wish. Nowadays, i am making lot of research, observation and analysis on my own. Do you get my idea?

    Have a nice day! biggrin

    So... how is Stargate controversial?
    • CommentAuthorTimmer
    • CommentTimeJun 18th 2009
    The only one mentioned where I can think of both film and score being controversial is The Passion of The Christ.

    I can't remember the full story but didn't Debney receive 'devine inspiration'? This was at least controversial amongst film score fans and created some very hot 'debates' in certain film score forums.

    Film makers say aliens built them, Egyptians say they built them, I say Erich Von Danniken built them.

    Debney seems like a very lovely guy and everything... but, um, very... yeah... 'divine inspiration' says it all really. uhm (Although I have no doubt the inspiration felt divine to him.)

    Oh! Timmer, i was about to say that. Yes, i read it in newspaper about 10 years ago the same thing that Star Gate was highly controversial because film makers showed aliens built the pyramids but Egyptians built pyramids. Honestly, there was no such evidence or possibility that human built the pyramids, because on top of the pyramid, you can see the tomb, which is very very very heavy, even 10,000 or 1 lakh men cannot pull the tomb and put it on the top of the pyramid. This raised several questions among archaeologist and scientist. Archaeologist says there is no much evidence of human built and scientist says may be some extra terrestrial could have helped these men to keep the tomb on top of the pyramid. But still its a mysterious thing to archaeologists and scientists. Nobody can provide proper proof or evidence for men or aliens built the pyramid.

    Have a nice day! smile

    Okay, now bear with me here, but I'm pretty sure I just read a post describing Stargate as controversial because it depicts aliens as builders of the pyramids? But I must be hallucinating because nobody is that retarded, right? Next I'll be reading about how Star Wars is controversial because there's no evidence that galaxies far far away have little green Jedi masters. I mean that's just absurd.
