  1. Myleen Klass is actually pretty famous in Britain. She was part of an all-girl band called HearSay which won one of those TV talent shows about 10 years ago, and had a couple of hits, before she decided she wanted to return to her first love, classical music and piano performance, and became a pretty major advocate for bringing classical music to British youngsters.

    And she's hot.

    This is really composed by Desplat? I've read that he made music for the cutscenes of Splinter Cell for the PS2/Gamecube versions. Since that, the game had cutscenes directed by the same guy from Hostage.

    This one it's his music:

    I've heard Myleene mention her love of film music more than once on various shows, she even mentioned that her favourite film score was Kilar's DRACULA, an accomplished pianist, sexy and a 'klassy' taste in music....what more could you want? wink

    Oh, and Jon ( it embarrasses me to know this shame ) 'Hearsay' were made up of 3 girls and 2 boys, not an all-girl band.

    Steven, since you recently discovered the grandness of Desplat (thank God smile ) i was wondering if you've watched this already (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uk6XyOg7cw) there's also one for part 2.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Desplat has never moved me. Yet.

    Bregje, have you seen Syriana? That was the first time he moved me. And I mean REALLY moved. And it completely surprised me, because the score on cd didn't have THAT impact on me.

    I had the same experience with Syriana when seing it in the cinema. Was very, very touched. I think it was Desplat's most significant break in Hollywood film? He's become far more "commercial" since then, for better and worse I suppose, but I also loved Birth. Especially the opening sequence. Magnificent work!

  16. The Hollywood stuff is more commercial. But then there's Tree of Life, Un Prophete, The Well-Digger's Daughter, ...

    Yep, Birth is definitely very good as well, but still kind of 'difficult' scoring and hard to get emotionally attached. But in Syriana, the scene towards the end with the 2 boats (without giving too much away)... It's a simple theme, with mainly a single instrument, but it's difficult not to be touched.

    I think it's fair to say its his linking pin in Hollywood indeed. I don't mind, since he still gives us scores in his older style for films that need it. With the added mainstream scores he's done, it's only extra, nothing is really lost.
  18. I often think BABEL's score won the Oscar for pulling tricks that Desplat had done a year earlier (and in my opinion, with so much more flair) in SYRIANA.

    Have you heard Meeting Again and Sunrise On Lake Pontchartrain from The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button?

    This two cues moved me.

    Desplat is the new Morricone. Take a look at how many current and upcoming projects FMR have listed in this newest update...

    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  21. That's funny. He's just scored a new film... which is out next week. Talk about high turnover. wink

  23. My latest review, if anyone's interested: Desplat's MOONRISE KINGDOM:

    Movie Music UK http://www.moviemusicuk.us
  24. Wow, finally a Desplat score that leaves Broxton cold. Uh oh...
  25. Yeah you can add it to the 10-12 other Desplat scores I'm not very fond of. I don't know where this myth that I love *EVERYTHING* Desplat has ever written came from...
    Movie Music UK http://www.moviemusicuk.us
  26. I'm auctioning tickets myself to my first public rejection of a Desplat score, but I've had to push back the date 3 times as he still hasn't let me down.

    Giving 5 stars to FIREWALL back in the day was a reputation-earning gesture with no short half-life, I suspect. wink

  28. I think the problem with Hans Zimmer is that he isn't as good a composer or dramatist as Alexandre Desplat.

    Michael what's your view on CLOCLO? the more i listen to it the more i fall in love with it! But can't get to Moonrise Kingdom or De Rouille et d'os*, at all. I hate this Gustavo Santaolalla direction he's got into this year, with the exception of CloClo.

    *with some few exceptions, notably the opening title etc.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
