Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The statement of Captain America's theme from the beginning to 0:26 sounds very John Williamsy to me for some reason...Great cue by the way. If only Elfman had scored the entire film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhM4DdYLXPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Man, the way this cue desperately tries to stay alive for the last thirty seconds or so, trying to avoid that cadence at 3:06, is bloody brilliant. One of the greatest isolated moments of scoring I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Psycho Pianist 216 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Chamber of Secrets, JW. Not sure why but I always get this and the Seven Years of Tibet theme mixed up and kind of mash them together in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yeah shame the character died as his theme was a great one. Williams got to do relatively little with it but that piece above is a highlight.Gabrielle from The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Rózsa theme, culled from his violin concerto, is simply gorgeous.

Faleel 5,346 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 That's a highlight of the score.Still don't quite understand why Williams introduced Qui-Gon's theme only halfway through the film/score (though I think we hear a hint of that theme in Inside The Bubble City).Perhaps it has something to do with Qui-Gon AND Anakin.

Naïve Old Fart 9,515 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just seen the above post and "Faking The Code" popped into my head. Weird.Before, and to celebrate the release of "Cat People" on Blu, I was singing "Putting Out Fire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hooray! Someone else likes The Fountain! The Russian theme from Air Force One is my second-favorite Goldsmith theme, only trailing the main theme from Patton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Something totally infectious about that cue. Makes me want to travel to a dying star to resurrect my tree-wife.Another case of a seemingly insignificant detail getting stuck in my head - the lower choral part starting at 9:02. And I love how the bass moves in general during that last iteration of the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck 154 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Very catchy. I like to think this is the first of Jerry Goldsmith's sports trilogy although David Ansapugh and co. didn't make this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,515 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If "Hoosiers" is second, then what's third, "Rudy", "Mr. Baseball", "Gladiator"?For reasons known only to my subconscious, I have the "Nazi March/Book-Burning" music going round my head (you know: the bit where IJ meets AH).
