Whether Doyle was recovering from leukemia or not seems irrelevant - should Columbus have accepted Doyle's score, not pleased with it at all, simply for that reason? However, do we know anything about Doyle's financial status during his leukemia period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,357 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Mrbellamy, if you're still interested, I'm listening to the Stepmom OST and the timecodes you gave were indeed what I meant about dissonance: for instance the first theme statement on oboe/English horn in The Days Between, it starts out well but then the chords go all weird. Typical of JW and I don't like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,357 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Maybe it's becuase I was raised with baroque and early romantic music that it sounds weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Well, Williams seems primarily influenced by Bartok, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Strauss, Mahler, etc many early 20th century giants. His uses of dissonance always seem appropriate and consistent with his overall style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilal 569 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Don't forget Bartók, Hindemith, Copland, Hanson, Herrmann, Martinů, Honegger, Takemitsu, Webern, Walton, Lutoslawski and all of his jazz influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the movie to be very offensive to the Susan Sarandon character. It's a Julia Robert vehicle, in the worst way. Isn't this then more or less the same story as Doyle getting replced by Williams while recovering from cancer? bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,498 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just listened to the rejected score. It's okay, but not really top tier Doyle. Williams' score, which I listened right after finishing Doyle's, is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,654 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Well I'm 10 years too late to the party on Morlock's comments, and I'm 20 years out from seeing the movie, so granted things are a little fuzzy, but I don't recall the message of the movie to be "dying from cancer is okay" even with his further clarification. The movie was more about making peace with the world she was leaving behind before she goes - which included accepting the stepmother who might not raise her kids the same way she would.

crocodile 8,027 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Having heard some of this score, I can now fully understand why Doyle decided to mutilate Hedwig's theme. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
