Goffe Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I read somewhere that a great film composer (one who did most of Frank Capra's films) once said that a composer has done his job when the people come out remembering the film more than the score and that no composer has done their job right when somebody remembers the soundtrack better than the story itself.I'm looking at you TASM2. well, he is wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashrendar44 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) well, he is wrong. I don't think he's absolutely wrong as a score should compliment a story not overwhelming it to call attention onto itself during the experience but I don't think it's the composer's fault if he does the best work he can deliver despite the fact that the director of the movie did a shitty job at telling the story. I mean the composer shouldn't have to lower himself making irrelevant music just because the director is not on his A-game.

I'm looking at you TASM2.Eh, I don't really agree with that. If the composer ends up working on a dog of a film, does that mean they should slum it on the score, in case they might do the best part? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Still plenty of music to go, but right now my favorite main theme of the year so far is Godzilla's (even if the score as a whole was a bit underwhelming). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Attack of the Clones suffers outside of the love theme because of how damn over-extended Williams was through 2002. He C&P'd so much music from Phantom Menace into the third act of Clones, and then he randomly inserts Attack of the Clones music into pieces of Chamber of Secrets. Dat Quidditch match/Coruscant chase music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Dat Quidditch match/Coruscant chase music. And near the end after Dobby whoops Lucius' ass, the music when Lucius warns Harry is the Confederacy's ominious motif. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Days of Future Past is my least favorite John Ottman score ever. The action music was unbelievably generic, like Steve Jablonsky levels. Clearly Ottman had someone breathing down his neck the entire time.

Ok, maybe the action beats were generic, but forever in love thanks to the reintroduction of the X2 theme and the Hope theme 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorschach Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 So Williams didn't do the job right by this definition because I clearly remember his soundtracks more than the movies...I never said it was fact. Do realize that most people go to see the movie and the score is supposed to be more of a helpful push into projecting emotions out of the paying customers. But the main focus of a film is supposed to tell a story, not showcase it's music (though a film with a great story and great soundtrack is a definite bonus). Those are what concerts are for.

Ethan Hunt Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The DOTPA score had some really shining moments but it also had a couple of moments that just felt off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Okay, The Fault in Our Stars score is by far the best of a movie I've seen so far this year. Fucking perfection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
