odnurega1 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I am being prompted by the recent success of other threads of this nature. I would like to see what areas of his work Alan Silvestri has copied either himself or other composers. Go at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I think we should not have to many of these at once, let the other ones run their course before doing yet another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desplat13 1 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Or maybe make a whole new section devoted entirely to these. That would be a kind of nice, and they could each have a regularly updated list at the top, kind of like the chronological listing thread.Sorry, nothing for me to add to the list, though.Colin Thomson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine creating a separate forum within JWFan for "Zimmer bashing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 154 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 That would be awesome, a mise-en-abyme Russian-doll subforum just for Zimmer bashing! Let's go for it.The OFFICIAL Alan Silvestri Plagariasm ListObviously, someone went one plagiariairism thread too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASW 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've always thought the piano solo in "George Walks" from Father of the Bride: Part II had a similar sound to "You're no Different" from Forrest Gump. It probably doesn't quite qualify as plagiarism but the rhythm of both melodies is definitely similar. ASW, who likes both cues, and also agrees that this thread is a bit excessive, but decided to add to it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 There's a strong Psycho-sound to parts of What Lies Beneath....which reminds me that there should be one of these for Bernard Herrmann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,068 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think the Herrmann sound for Beneath was done on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 196 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Part of The Crane from Abyss is similar to Main Title from Predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,068 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I think has more to do with Silvestri's action music having similar structure and or orchestrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnifex 5 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 A piece of the Main Title from the Back to the Future III (2:17 ->) resembles very much the piano theme from Forrest Gump "I'm Forrest... Forrest Gump". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshopk 8 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Oh my goodness. Does no-one recognise that an author writing his own style is not plagiarism? I fear for the future of film music. Is this why we have so much minimalism these days? Yes, it's much safer if the music doesn't say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 A whole lot of Silvestri music says the exact same thing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Raiders sounds just like Star Wars, and guess what? They're by the same composer! Talk about ripping yourself off! lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Of course it sounds the same. But to me, a lot of Silvestri's music is utterly interchangable. His recent work seems to be saying little other than 'ACTION!', 'ADVENTURE!', 'LOVE THEME!'. Nothing individualistic about a lot of his recent work. Last score of his that had real character is The Mexican, a fantastic Morricone pastiche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The Mummy Returns was a grand spectacle. Movies made today don't deserve such fine music. Hell, even that movie didn't deserve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 3:34 - 3:45 of "Suite from Forrest Gump" sounds like "Both Sides Now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
