The Movie Critic (Quentin Tarantino's supposed final movie)

Though that is literally 1 from released in 2 parts. It was written and shot as 1 film. Only in editing did they decide to release it in 2 parts. -

CGCJ reacted to a post in a topic: New Best Original Score Oscar rules from the Motion Picture Academy

https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/oscar-rule-changes-best-original-score-1235662707/ Two main new rules. Rule 1: I am calling this the SOUL rule change. If 3 composers win Best Score together - one 1 Oscar statue was awarded. So when Jon Batiste, Reznor and Ross won Oscar for Score, they were only given a single statue among the 3 of them. With this rule change, all 3 would get one. Rule 2: The shortlist used to be 15 scores. Now 20 scores will be shortlisted before the final nomination announcement.

Composer Threads The Bear McCreary Thread

Or maybe there was disagreement about budget and timing and Shore couldn't agree to that. Writing 8 hours of music is a HUGE undertaking. I think Shore might have demanded much more time and a bigger budget and compensation for his services. TV schedule is too pushing for a composer of Shore's stature. Also think about it - this would have been an impossible gig for Shore. Imagine hiring John Williams to write 8 hours of new Star Wars music and tell him - you can't use a note of anything you wrote previously because we don't have the rights. That's putting him in a straight jacket. Shore would have to constantly watch out for falling into old modes as is bound to happen when you are returning to the same property. I mean 8 hours of new middle earth music from Shore would have been God's gift. but I ain't about to scoff at the score Bear wrote - I think he did a great job still. And we did get a great main title from Shore. -

Honestly i find myself playing it often. I think it is a tremendous piece of writing, very refined and masterful - and that in just 90 seconds. -
I love Double Life of Veronique. Immense impact in the film and very memorable.
-
He again only and ONLY calls it the love theme - repeatedly - and does not mention House Atredies at all.

It's garbage. So of course it will win tons of oscars. -

Thanks. Honestly, it is sufficient for me to conclude that it is a love theme for Paul and Chani. And has nothing to do with the House Atridies. I understand the reference but it is oblique at best. I think we can use this as an explanation. Stephane Humez of RCP said - " He's not necessarily lying. Keep in mind Dune 1 was finished late 2020. The film came out late 2021. Hans continued writing after Dune 1 was locked. The Sketchbook released in 2021 had ideas for both movies, with some segments probably written after Dune 1 was already finished." Source: https://hans-zimmer.com/discography/1/project/3591 What he is saying is indeed true. If you remember Dune was in fact completed and ready to go in 2020 but was pushed by a year. So Zimmer has finished the score for part 1 a year before the album came out. So it is possible he kept writing and included some of his new material in the Sketchbook. -- We have to go by eventually what we see in the movies. In the movies, the love theme represents the love theme only. The director who cut the movie and stuck the score in there says it is a love theme - Denis Villeneuve said: "I wanted Hans to write something unforgettable for Chani. A love theme, the love of Paul for Chani. I wanted something heartbreaking, and the most beautiful love theme ever written, and honestly I think he did it with the track A Time of Quiet Between the Storms." Literally neither the director or the guy who wrote the score are not calling it a Atredies theme. Jon Burlingame asks him to explain the theme and Zimmer doesn't say it is an Atredies theme. --- The other reason is - there is already a kind of Atredies theme! It is the Caladan theme. Again going by the movie - it plays at prominent points where there is a strong sense of the Atredies as a unit. It plays at the climax of the movie to represent that and when Paul meets another family member (vague due to spoilers). So I think that the Caladan theme represents the Atredies and the love theme represents Paul and Chani's relationship.
-
can we verify this? are there film clips on youtube that show the scene where the theme plays in part 1?
-
Straight from the horse's mouth. When asked what does that theme represent, he says it's the love theme for Chani and Paul. He said nothing about House Atriedies.

New to my was the fact that they he wrote Hedwig's theme in like an evening? It is much too complex a piece - one of his most elaborately orchestrated to be written so quickly. -
