leeallen01 2,135 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Nolan loves MacGruber!? He has just gone way up in my personal opinion of him as a human being. "MacGruber! Making life-saving inventions out of house-hold materials! MacGruber! Getting in and out of ultra-sticky situations! MacGruber! The guys' a fricken genius! MacGruber!!!!!!" Or my personal favourite - "MacGruber! Pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi!" MacGruber! Pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi pepsi! MacGruber! Get the guy a pepsi! MacGruber! PEPSI!!!

I mean I love the Interstellar score, but that got tedious really fast. The worst part of any Nolan film release. It's going to be a long month ahead.

leeallen01 2,135 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Speaking of Atonement, I've said it before and I'll say it again; what that film did with that incredible one-shot of Dunkirk with a thousand extras used and brilliantly choreographed cannot be beaten. It's the pinnacle Dunkirk images that I've seen on-screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hannah's still my favourite Joe Wright film and score. Everything else of his that I've seen was so listlessly middlebrow and straining for some kind of significance. 27 minutes ago, antovolk said: First clip Looks like Hoytema is going for the 'soaked the negative in absinthe' look he gave to Insterstellar.

I think his first two films are brimming with passion and emotions, beautifully staged and acted character work. I really liked his Karenina adaptation as well. His staging of scenes is always fascinating. Not sure what happened with Pan. Just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,679 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 There are several scores on that list that don't belong anywhere near a top 100 list. --- Just watched the Dunkirk clip - wow, what a wildly inappropriate musical tone. I appreciate that it may be within a larger energy-building part of the film, but could Zimmer not at least try to pretend we're in the '40s?

I, for one, am very glad they're not going out of their way to capture the period, or any 'convential' style of the WW2 genre. It doesn't seem to be a period piece anyway, even if itakes place in the 40s. The focus seems to be somewhere else altogether. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
