[REVIEW: Hans Zimmer Teaches Film Scoring (masterclass)]

It's great insights from a lovely man.  Worth it for the professional or the merely interested.

I'm not sure if another composer could've done it to perfection, but they certainly could've given it a shot.

Would have been cool to bring in Henry Jackman, Bryan Tyler, Danny Elfman, Giacchino, and (I guess) Silvestri all to collaborate on End Game - the most epic ensemble film of all time.

 

Bring in whatever or however many composers you want, you're not going to get what you're after because the Russo's specifically said they didn't think it was the right direction to have a score crowded with all the characters' themes.

That'd be nice if I were, but alas.

Me neither from ROTS, but there is an organ in the Finale cue of AOTC.

No real organ in the prequels, just quasi organ synths.

You had a prime opportunity to quote Star Trek.  You didn't.

I'll never understand the motivation behind deleting something helpful that others would enjoy reading. 

 

It was a petty response to the petty attitudes on here about the composer in question.  You can see several examples right here on this page.  Why bother?

I removed these years ago.  The person I put them together with lost his motivation to do the AI one, and I'm sure you can appreciate the disinterest in keeping these exhaustive writeups about Zimmer available given the...climate that sometimes rears its head here.

[Are you sick and tired of the infinite stream of predictable superhero flicks, with predictable scores?]

Why think about them, talk about them, start a thread about them then?  Just ignore it.  I reckon there's a lot of shit in the world would bore me to death if I paid any attention.  What would be the point?

[Did you survive the Decimation?]

Ah Joey vs. Jurassic Shark.  That's the JWFan showdown I've been waiting for.

[Hans Zimmer's THE THIN RED LINE (1998) - 2019 4-CD La-La Land Edition]

Really special score.  The amount of material makes it hard to come up with a truly definitive presentation, but it's great to see it getting this treatment.  Really a masterwork of film and music.

Star Wars is about a whiney turd who gets magic powers and screws up millions of lives.  Substitute magic powers with the ability to post on a forum and it is the story of Mattris.

Very bad and racist movie.  I prefer Star Trek.

You like Bruch?

 

I haven't heard anything by him in decades probably.  It was a joke.

[Wash. Post Classical Critic: "I used to think the ‘Star Wars’ score was beneath me. I was wrong."]

Those aren't Trek scores.  They're inoffensive, vaguely Trekish love letters.

Star Trek > Horner > Bruch > Raff > Beethoven

[Michael Giacchino: Unpopular Opinions]

I reckon Zimmer is a more versatile composer and for me his highs are far more frequent and, well, high, than Giacchino's.  What Giacchino did for Lost is masterful, legendary, but frankly I could take or leave pretty much everything else he's ever done.  One of the most frustrating composers in Hollywood.
