scissorhands 16 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Gravity? Best score?When I saw the film I soon realized it was a serious contender in the Oscar race. That's the kind of sound design that moviegoers seem to like nowadays, so that's what's going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,859 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well, I'm all for more atonal scores getting nominated; even if Gravity isn't a landmark in contemporary music writing. But I'm quite happy for the Williams nom too. Surprised the film didn't get a nom for Geoffrey Rush, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,738 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 While The Book Thief is extraordinary, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Gravity's score nearly ruined the movie for me. It abrasive, loud and clunky. The film would have been so much better if they had just left out the score.

Bilbo 3,816 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I wouldn't say Garvity's score nearly ruined it. I thought it added to the tension and atmosphere in many places. Serviceable and fitting within the context of the movie? Yes. Particularly memorable or remarkable? Nope. Gravity should win lots of awards but not for score.

crocodile 8,491 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You see, my problem with the film is that it doesn't need any of that, Sandra Bullock's character development, any of that. The is interesting enough without all those fail-safe things they did to it in order not to alienate mass audience. And the score plays a major score in me being disappointed with the film.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 4,165 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I love Gravity's score. It's certainly not an easy listen to begin with, and if you're not attracted to ambient or textural music at all, then you won't like it.Suffice it to say that I own the Gravity album, but not TBT.

Sharkissimo 1,974 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I like some ambient music (I'm a sucker for early Boards of Canada and Air) but Steven Price's score didn't appeal to me. If anything it reminded me more of Marc Streitenfeld's PROMETHEUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same set of films are appearing on all of the best score lists, and they are all from the critical darlings; in other words it has nothing to do with the quality of the music whatsoever.
