Popular Post Cumulonimbus 22 Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2017 Can we take a moment here to just appreciate the sheer brilliance of this cue. All the themes which are woven together, even a new theme for the falcon, snowy's theme, Tintin's theme. The change in metrum when Haddock falls through some laundry, the flute when the falcon flies through the building, the climatic version of Tintin's theme at the end. I cannot recall a cue by another film score composer that has this level of complexity! Loert, Muad'Dib, Not Mr. Big and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 4,610 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I am guessing he is referring to the little flute motive that accompanies the falcon bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artguy360 1,839 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 For me it's a fun cue but not spectacular. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I agree, but for me one of the few highlights from this score, which is very "been there, done that" autopilot Williams. This actually sounds like Williams. Tin Tin (take that, Jason!), for me has a tendency to sound like it was composed by some sort of Williams music generator app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Contains my favorite rendition of Tintin's theme! One of the very best JW action pieces in recent memory. Anybody complaining this sounds too much like JW (wtf?) or like JW on autopilot, why don't you just go listen to Hans Zimmer? lmao Nothing wrong with JW sounding like vintage JW!

Really.......? I'm all for threads celebrating a particular cue, but I'm a little tired of the suggestion that no other composer has ever written something as complex. Rubbish. I actually find most of the action in this score a bit messy - too many switches of ideas. The start of Clash of the Cranes is nearly unlistenable to me - it's just random bang-crash-boom-tss. Add the jazzy bits (I generally hate jazz) and this really isn't a score for me, Gruesome Son of a Bitch and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If you want my honest opinion, to me it's a bunch of trademark Williams noise until it becomes faintly thematic in the Last 90 seconds. Gruesome Son of a Bitch and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,272 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't understand the love for Tintin personally. Just never found the score all that interesting. Clash of the Cranes in FYC form is just unlistenable noise to my ears, no matter how many times I try to "discover" it or what he was trying to achieve. In fairness of course, this is a case of poor music editing more than composer boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gurkensalat 336 Posted March 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don´t understand the aversion in this thread. Tintin is a brilliant score which showcases the orchestration palette and intrinsic motiv construction of John Williams at his best. The main titles track alone with its combination of element of totally disparate musical styles is genius. The only thing missing is a knockout longdrawn theme, but nothing is perfect and it would probably not fit the style of the film. Tintin is one of the few Soundtracks i can listen over and over and never get tired of it; always discovering new small interesting details.

Gurkensalat 336 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 War Horse is not somehow worse than Tintin, but if I had to chose, I would take the latter for its higher repeat value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
