The statement 49 seconds into the album Jungle Chase is some of JW’s finest thematic-action writing period. Brando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By modern Hollywood standards the melody linie is probably three times as log as the average modern love theme. And it perectly fits the musical Indiana Jones family. Helena's Theme is the foundation of the whole DoD score. Irina's Theme just appears in a few scene's where Irina appears. Therefore, of course Helena's Theme is far superior. But Irina's Theme does the job perfectly as a theme for a 50s Russian female secret agent. I don't like the term femme fatal in context of Irina, as a femme fatal is supposed to be secutvive and bringing men to ruin by making them fall in love with her. But that's not the case at all with Irina. I'm pretty sure JW himself thought of Irina's theme as a noir, femme fatale theme, something sexy, dark, and sensual (his own words) even if it doesn't fully fit her role in the film. I think her theme reflects those qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you’re familiar with the recording sessions but I created a film edit for the entire sequence: filmmusic and Andy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think her theme reflects those qualities. Yes, I remember that quote from an interview as well. And from the sound of the piece I can comprehend that. I remember the piece getting played live at the academy award celebration to a montage of female actresses showing many of them in their femme fatal roles. Fitted perfectly. And Kate Blanchet can use of the help she can get to appear in any way seductive. I mean, she is a great actress and an attractive woman, no doubt, but her erotic chemestry with any of her film partners, at least in the movies I saw her in, is subterranean. That somehow seems not to be her field of charisma. So, might be that Williams intended to give Irina a femme fatal note, but it just was not reflected in Blanchet's appearance. A little bit like the romance in Attack of the Clones, where the big love story was told in the music but not on screen. Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
