filmmusic 1,826 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think the A.I. theme (which appears in various tracks) is my favourite theme from this score, more than Monica's theme.Especially its B section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure I heard it in one of the tracks following track 3. I will get back on this.There is another english horn melody in track 4 but it's not the same.Maybe you mistook that one for the same melody.Yeah, that must be it. Just started to listen to the full score and there is such of wealth of thematic and melodic material to discover. I think this release is simply fantastic.I think it is just a one off melody. The score has a lot of these little gorgeous woodwind moments throughout. I think the A.I. theme (which appears in various tracks) is my favourite theme from this score, more than Monica's theme.Especially its B section.I have to agree. It really encapsulates beautifully both the spiritual depth of the character's wish to become human and the deep tragedy of the actual impossibility of that happening through the Blue Fairy. And yes the B section is tremendously poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 It's easily my favorite theme in the score. I'll never call it the AI Theme though. It's the Blue Fairy Theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,826 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Also, I don't know why but the most hair raising moment for me both in the film and the score, is in the mecha world track when the lions appear and the film shows the wide shot!starting from 3.00 with peak at 3.08'' Maybe it's because David (in his point of view) is so much close to his answer.It's that "Wow!" you feel when you think that you are a breath away from fulfilling your dream, only to be disappointed shortly afterwards (usually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 That Blue Fairy statue he sees in the sea freaks me out. Those dead eyes. Looks like some spooky Virgin Mary statue staring down at you in a church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Abandoned in the Woods theme is EASILY my second favorite theme in the score, JoshGreat! This theme... it expresses so much: jealousy, wild desperation, a violent sea of rage and frustration, lonely abandonment, and finally exhausted resignation... none of it positive, but nevertheless it has such a heartbreaking elegance to it. One of the most impressive (and expressive) themes JW has ever created, in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 filmmusic, thanks for the correction re: Cryogenics Extension. I had received some bad info before, and now it all makes sense. They did still in fact rerecord the entire cue though, with the Extension; It wasn't an Insert added to the old recording.I do wonder what the original version of that scene was like! I mean the cue is 3 1/2 minutes long, and in the final film its only like a minute!Anyone else notice the disc art represents an act of the film?Disc 1 features David with Monica from the first act, Disc 2 has David with Joe from the second act, and Disc 3 has David with an Advanced Mecha from the third act.I noticed that as soon as the picture spread was posted!

Jay 37,346 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 No, that's not what happened. The original scene Williams scored was way longer; It was trimmed down after the score recording sessions. Once "Sleeping Beauty" starts playing in the film, that's already past where Williams full original cue would have played. When "Cryogenics" begins playing again after that, that's where "Henry Is Selected" would have gone, had it been used (and not been replaced by this tracked portion of Cryogenics). So clearly in the original cue, a lot more stuff happened before Monica started playing Sleeping Beauty for her son and began reading to him, but who knows what it was!

I thought that Cybertronics was intended to start earlier then when it starts in the final film, possibly during the discussion that Professor Hobby makes.I also noticed that Reading the Words is significantly longer than in the final film, and Martin and David is a little longer than in the final film.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I didn't care for the boardroom scene since all that was covered in Hammond and Malcolm's scene anyway.
