Someone with a good taste of film music, my friend.

Go back to Reddit.

There’s a difference between calling a score mediocre and calling an entire style of music mediocre and saying that it’s degrading the art form. It’s snobbish. Let people like what they like.

[Posts moved from Lorne Balfe's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING (2023/24)]

Ok first of all that McQuarrie quote is absolutely ridiculous. It’s all fine to love a score but saying that’s it’s game changing and doing things that have never been done before is pure glazing especially after listening to the album and watching the film. I mean come on man.
 

Second of all I really dislike when people call a style of music mediocre when it is in fact, a STYLE. If you don’t enjoy it then that’s fine music is subjective but don’t call the score dumb or say it’s mediocrity just because you didn’t like it. It didn’t work for you that’s all. Saying that composers like Zimmer and Balfe hurt the art form is plain and simply, stupid. It’s really stupid and petty. You don’t need insult the music or the composers. When so many users absolutely shit on Zimmer and modern styles here it makes the people who do enjoy the music feel like they’re outsiders on the site.

 

I love Williams and Zimmer. Am I a lunatic?

Honestly makes me excited I absolutely love his minimalistic style. Would be nice for a calm Hisaishi piano score. Some of my favorite kind of music.

Holy bad take.

I honestly love both Dune and Oppenheimer’s scores. They’re perfect for each of their films. Score-work at the top of its craft. The movies wouldn’t be the same without their music.

I have now seen enough of Christopher Nolan's movies to understand that he's always redoing the same movie: "I'm intelligent, you're an idiot" (and so you'll have to watch my movies at least 2 times to understand them... if you understand them, ah, ah, you morron). 

Move on from this stupid opinion. I’m tired of reading this when it’s based in absolutely nothing. Just like the movie or don’t.

Seeing it again tomorrow hopefully. I’m not gonna lie these kind of movies are my favorite.

[Ludwig Göransson - OPPENHEIMER (2023)]

After a few listens and seeing the film twice I’m beginning to get a good sense of the themes. Really it’s the two Oppenheimer themes and Groves’ material that take up the majority. Kitty has a theme but it’s very underutilized. 

[The Official Thread for the Church of Oscar-winning Director and (soon to be) Sir Christopher Nolan]

The music is what kept the pace for me. Without it the movie would’ve slogged. I appreciate a director using a score as such an important tool in the film. Most take music for granted but Nolan is anything but.

[The Official Thread for the Church of Oscar-winning Director and (soon to be) Sir Christopher Nolan]

I’m so glad a movie like Oppenheimer is making good money. I’ve seen it twice now and both times the theater was packed. And both times the showings were at farther theaters or at an early afternoon time because the normal evening imax showings were booked out for days.

[The Official Thread for the Church of Oscar-winning Director and (soon to be) Sir Christopher Nolan]

1. Interstellar (One of my favorite movies in general)

2. The Dark Knight (One of the greatest crime/thriller movies ever made)

3. Inception (Super interesting original story with a great emotional core and awesome set-pieces)

4. Oppenheimer (Intense non-stop character study that is IMO the modern-day "JFK" minus the historical inaccuracy)

5. Batman Begins (Probably my favorite "origin story movie" and is a super rewatch-able action movie)

6. The Prestige (Great lead performances carry the movie and the magic stuff is interesting but not as crazy as it’s hyped up to be IMO)

7. The Dark Knight Rises (Disappointing ending to the trilogy that still is a fun popcorn film with a Nolan flair)

8. Tenet (Too complicated for its own good with sweet action but little plot coherency that you can only appreciate after seeing the movie several times)

9. Dunkirk (I just didn’t like this one besides the action scenes)

 

I haven’t seen Following, Memento, or Insomnia yet but I will soon.

[Ludwig Göransson - OPPENHEIMER (2023)]

There’s a few missing tracks I noticed from the film. They’re mainly variations on the "Can You Hear the Music?" theme.

[The Official Thread for the Church of Oscar-winning Director and (soon to be) Sir Christopher Nolan]

I loved it. Perfect script and pace. And if you’re thinking Nolan can’t do good character development then this movie finally ends that train of thought. Oppenheimer’s journey in this film was amazing.

Wow, I gotta say, the score was very effective in film. It was used in a similar way as John Williams' JFK score -  unsettling, underlying and steering the loads of dialogue. The whole movie reminded me a lot of Oliver Stone's JFK - the disturbing montages, the very bitter and relentlessly dark tone (which I didn't expect from Nolan), and of course the thematic core of the story...

I just got out of the movie and I completely agree with this take. A modern day, better, JFK. I absolutely loved this film and it did a great job using the music to keep the pace up. Without it the movie could’ve been a slog at some points.

[Ludwig Göransson - OPPENHEIMER (2023)]

I found the score a lot more vibrant than I previously expected. It has an energy and pulse that Tenet didn’t have. Not that Tenet wasn’t exciting but this music in Oppenheimer feels alive. "Can You Hear the Music?" mesmerized me.

Damn I was in the middle of listening to the score when my page refreshed and the video was gone… :/

Oppenheimer reviews are incredible.
