Obi 404 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It' not bad ("The City of 1000 Planets" and "Spaceship Chase" had good cues) but (in my tastes) I prefer soft and ellagic pièces from him, like "Girl with a Pearl Earring" or "Birth".

Did you get the feeling that Williams was looking over Desplat's shoulder? A bit, but it wasn't as "aye-aye-wonderful" as Williams best stuff tends to be. It has its own "musical flavor" thankfully. The music for the creature was very appropriately "somber sounding", and got seemingly brighter and brighter as the film went on. 7 hours ago, Incanus said: This description makes me tentatively optimistic about the music. The music worked wonders for the film. I'm still curious to listen to on its own, but it certainly helped the film immensely. It had a great sound.

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2017 100% certain to be nominated for Best Original Score too. I've listened to a few tracks and it's not bad! You always feel like you're in good hands listening to a Desplat OST. He's so assured in his orchestrations even if I find his themes a bit ephemeral. I really want to see the film because I think this is a score that will get its hooks in me in context. toothless, James, Bilbo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher 350 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 One of the best scores of the year for me, both in and out of the film. Wonderful stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I really like the track "Watching Ruth," especially from about :48 to 1:25 when it turns very sweepingly romantic in an "old Hollywood doomed lovers" kind of way. I also like that theme that closes out the track. The one I think first introduced in "Elisa and Zelda." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephariel 451 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The score doesn't really get going until the second half, but once it does, it contains some of Desplat's best work this year. I would say every cue after the lengthy "The Escape," are 4 stars cues, especially the gorgeous "Overflow of Love," "Without You," and "Rainy Day." In those cues, Desplat really added in the layers of instruments, highlighting the jazzy charm and quiet romance of the score. It is also worth noting that it is refreshing to hear another score this year that attempts to build both thematic core and atmosphere. The score is not bombastic for the sake of being bombastic, and it doesn't just douse you with atmospheric noise the whole time. it contains a good amount of both. For me, a first listen is probably a ***1/2 but a full **** is perfectly reasonable (and probably more objective). Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 It's not exactly originality galore and as usual (for this kind of Desplat) has lots of dead air where musically nothing is happening (if you subtract the handful of pleasing variations of the main material in the second half) but he really wrote a cool theme. So 3 out of 5 seems warranted. No patch on the Greenwood, though (as expected that was). Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
