Taikomochi 1,136 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The Composer finishes off the score with a big musical flourish? That nice warm happy note.AI had one. I want to Believe had one. I'm at a loss for examples, but you know what I mean.I just love it when I hear that. It just leaves me with a happiness about a movie, as long as it is used appropriately.

artyjeffrey 20 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The finish of The End Title section of "End Title, End Cast" from from Jaws 2 has always left me with a warm feeling. I still can't believe that JW composed that piece exclusively for Jaws 2; it's too good, it sounds like it should stand on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,043 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I prefer the ending to CoS.Understandable - it's a fun ending, certainly, especially if one ignores what's going on in the film. I just happen to prefer the original SS ending...it's one of those "less is more" things for me. Ties into the overscoring thread, actually, as the CoS ending just strikes me as too over-the-top.

Henry B 50 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Sure, I like these finales, but sometimes I want something a little different. Sentimentality isn't the only way to end a score. Just to contribute to the conversation, though...The TerminalA Little Princess (well, the climax, not the denouement)Return of the King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonblueeyes 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I can think of two that always leave me in amazement and awe:The Trumpet fanfare at the end of "Love Theme From Superman"and basically the entire final minute of "The Forest Battle" which someone at Lucasfilm thought was so good they used it in the "Attack Of The Clones" final Theatrical Trailer. Say what you will about the movie - but that trailer was brilliantly assembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,043 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Not to my knowledge...and there are a lot of sources, online and otherwise, that cite "Jesus wept" as the shortest...but I can't make any guarantees, naturally.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Nice as it is to talk about this, I think we should digress for the sake of the Board. I would list "Farewell" from "Spider-Man" here. It feels so cathartic, and I always smile at the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,043 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I agree on both counts. Also, great catch, jasonblueeyes. That's one of the rare cases when I think a John Williams concert version FAR outstrips its original film version. Such an amazing ending, and I really did love it in that trailer. In fact, I don't think I'd even heard it until that trailer! I was very pleased to realize it was on the 2-disc Special Edition soundtrack.
