diskobolus 3 Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Simple answer: SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, the best soundtrack in the last 15 years. It's perfect. Relaxed, subdued, restrained, emotive, superb.It has music when the film exactly needs it. No more. And what an incredible music! Omaha Beach, High School Teacher and The Last Battle are incredible pieces.It's a masterpiece. There is no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 although i do think that the Saving Private Ryan score is excellent and compliments the images of the film to perfection, i prefer the Patriot as a soundtrack. SPR is no doubt a better score, in terms of its purpose, function, and importance in the film, and as scissorhands pointed out, it is very emotional. i can only listen to it at certain times, like Schindler's List. Hymn to the Fallen does me in. but the question asks which soundtrack you prefer, which is why i voted for The Patriot. as a musical experience, it is more well rounded and not as repetitive as the SPR soundtrack. it is for these reasons that as a listening experience, and as a soundtrack, i prefer the Patriot. but i will reconize SPR is hands down the better overall score.Ted, who is now recalling the Jurassic Park/ Jaws score competition and gave a similar answer to this one in that i like Jurassic Park better as a listening experience, but knows that Jaws is unquestionably the better score.

CYPHER 1 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 The Patriot. Why these 4 films Diskobolus?CYPHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdog1 50 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I voted for Braveheart. I like all the soundtracks listed, but I believe that the music to Braveheart captured so much of the spirit of the film it is uncanny. I'm not that big of a James Horner fan, but I do recognize a fine listen when I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskobolus 3 Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 Just curious how the movie itself can sometimes influence our perceptions of the music (but i did say soundtrack, so pfft)... here we have two truly well made films, and then two movies which are entertaining and nothing beyond. yet each of the four has very good music.

Morn 8 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Braveheart I think, though it's sort of a guilty pleasure for me to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Braveheart ofcourse. I agree with Stefan on this 100%. It's incredibly emotional and has some of the most gorgeous melodies ever written for a film. Gladiator comes second, the Saving Private Ryan and way behind that (not even in the same league) comes The Patriot one of the most heartless scores I know. That movie could have been saved by sweeping, epic, lush, beautiful themes. Instead we got one good love theme and another second-rate military theme that lacks in emotion and depth.Bye,Roald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Saving Private Ryan for me with the Patriot a close second. I used to like Gladiator more than I do now, specially because I listened to other works by Zimmer and it's pretty much the same, plus, in some parts it's a complete and blatant rip-off of Wagner's Gotterdamerung.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Gladiator Sucked, but considering its Zimmer and the director who is afraid of the light...Patriot was ok.Never heard Braveheart, or seen it.And Saving Private Ryan is just unlistenable to me. One of John's worst scores. Phoney sentametalism.So I guess I must say Patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I thoroughly enjoy "Braveheart."It took me a couple of listens to completely enjoy "The Patriot."Only about a third of "Gladiator" moves me."Saving Private Ryan" is a landmark film for Spielberg, and a successful change of pace for Williams.

One of John's worst scores. Phoney sentametalism.So I guess I must say Patriot.Interesting that The Patriot can escape your "phoniness" radar while Saving Private Ryan is so blatantly targeted.Braveheart is, lyrically, a masterpiece...but the score's simple construction (the expert use of Celtic instrumentation obviously doesn't exempt the score from this consideration) is either its winning virtue -- or its fatal vice, depending on your point of view.I've never been fond of Zimmer's generally electronic soundscapes, and the size of his fan base frightens me. I cannot fault those who enjoy his music, but I wish his influence in the film music world were not so pervasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
