Thank you. Close. they all sound alike I loved what Rupert did with Hacksaw ridge, that score is incredibly good I never expected it from Rupert.

Speaking of which:

n.p. HANS ZIMMER (and co) - SAINTS AND SINNERS

I am a huge sucker for this kind of Zimmer sound (a la the thin red line), war scores, like this one here, TTRL, King Arthur, Last Samurai, The pacific, parts of gladiator, the whole pearl harbor, tears of the sun, a sound which continues in non war movies like house of spirits, the invincible, parts of henri 4, Hannibal. or Even non-zimmer (at least directly, but still from the Z camp) scores like We were soldiers.

I think that's my favorite type of film music ever.

That's the zimmer I absolutely adore and I am afraid we'll never ever get again with this kind of movies that are being made today and the trends that require music to be dark cold and distant Partly why I was disappointed with Dunkirk I am afraid. Both movie and score, lacked completely any kind of emotion other than constant tension for meat-slayering and butchering at the Dunkirk beach. 'Cause other the fact that it's a true, fact-based story, which is its only saving point, there's no characters, no depth behind them at all, meat being butchered in horrible, very intense ways Interesting read about 'the dawn of the anti score' : http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2017/08/02/ … anti-score

heheh expected. when will you watch the movie? eager for your thoughts

I see that Demetris is on a posting rampage again!

NP: LESS THAN ZERO (Thomas Newman)

One of my favourite Newman scores. Gorgeous synth textures.

Legends of the Fall

Glorious.

I love 90s-2000s Zimmer. I have nothing against the guy or his pupils (He gave us Powell! And Gregson-Williams). Wallfisch is a fine composer, Cure for Wellness was great, but I think he butchered the Elgar piece.

It was butchered. I'd have preferred it wasn't used or have used the original piece.

I thought it fit in with the rest of it.

Wallfisch was brilliant before he moved to RC. I hope it bolsters his career and he come out back to being brilliant but working on bigger things. Cure for Wellness was so generic.

Unfortunately most horror films now seem to be mostly torture porn type stuff that doesn't allow for anything creative orchestral, synth or otherwise.

Do you know anything about Nolan wanting to use Elgar's Nimrod?

Cheers Pawel. I'm with Zimmer on William Tell, never liked it.

That dude btw has the most English, Englishest name of all the most englishes names

I think Zimmer wasn't excited about dunkirk in general and it shows when he asked to him to write an emotional piece, he just brought the most english man in and told him just write an emotional vangelis chord-set whatever man i don't care

I blame zimmer. Whenever there's a big zimmer release i am in for the controversy either positive or negative i am sure it will pass

Agreed. Or a Vangelis/1492 vibe. I very much loved that cue/arrangment -- a rare moment of respite in the film and score.

n.p. ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL - Batman vs Robin

Fuck yeah

but, Batman forever, heck no! I think as I grow older, I am getting to despise sax, theremin and relevant noisy stuff.

Oh yeah, and this one in particular, I've only grown to appreciate it more and more. The final cue being one of the greatest ending cues in the history of cinema. It greatly enhances the impact of the scene itself.
