He never really develops the theme or takes it to interesting places orchestrationally. Maybe this presentation will change my mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It's the kind of release (like Braveheart) which I would want to buy if only because it looks like a really well-made product (superb cover art, probably great liner notes, etc...), but that I know I'd probably wouldn't listen to that much.The labels sure know how to make their releases desirable! crocodile and Incanus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni 306 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 IT'S ABOUT %&$#@! TIME!!! I've been waiting for an expanded release of this score for years. My favorite Barry work, by far (and one of my favorite films). Can't wait to get this one.I had downloaded some kind of complete score bootleg years ago and, admittedly, found it a real chore. Barry is a genius but there's only so many repetitive renditions of the main theme you can sit through without losing your sanity. He never really develops the theme or takes it to interesting places orchestrationally. Maybe this presentation will change my mind?I agree that--ironically--the main theme (meaning the John Dunbar Theme) is the relative lowlight of the score. Much as I love the work as a whole, this piece never did much for me . . . and it irks me to no end that this is always the piece played on radio programs and in compilations. Just about every other theme is so much better: the Journey to Fort Sedgewick, Two Socks, Rescuing Dances With Wolves, The Buffalo Hunt, and the ever-pleasant and satisfying Buffalo Robe theme. This is one of Barry's richest thematic palettes, and most people can't think past the main character's ballad. What a waste.On an unrelated note, I just bought the movie and will FINALLY be getting around to watching it.Theatrical cut or director's cut?Y'know, somehow I just assumed both cuts would be included on the blu-ray. No idea why I did that. Checked Amazon and it looks like I got the director's cut.It's for the best. If you're going to do it, then take the whole journey. This is one four-hour experience that never felt longer than a standard-length movie to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Both versions are very good. But it's amazing how you never get a sense you're watching an overlong, padded version when watching the four hour director's cut. I quite like that version of the film. Like Uni said, it's like taking a completer trip through the narrative. It works very well. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I've only seen the director's cut and it was incredibly boring.

Jay 37,323 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 I've never heard that earlier expananded version, but compared to the original OST presentation, I find this far superior. It really grabs you and pulls you into its world and takes you on such an emotional and wonderful ride. The release may seem long, but a lot of it is bonus tracks, and I just skip those. Play from disc 1 track 1 until the end credits finish, then just stop. Bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
