Oomoog the Ecstatic 314 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The fact that Titanic is tied is a testament to its superiority, only because Braveheart is of the genre most people would like and vote for (even though musically if you simply listen, it's an error.)

csista 13 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 It's so odd this poll popped back up today because I just watched Braveheart last night and was asking myself the exact same question. For me, it's almost impossible to choose between the two. I have a lot of history with both. Both are scores I loved before I loved film scores. But the tie breaker was how much the music enhances the ending of Braveheart, from his execution to the final shot of the sword in the grass. ("Freedom"/The Execution/Bannockburn on the expanded score) No sequence in Titanic matches that marriage of music and imagery. So Braveheart got my vote. Barely.

Thor 7,385 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 It's fitting that these two are neck-to-neck. Two absolute masterpieces that in my estimation are equal in quality and status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rick 1,152 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well since the poll is closed I cannot vote, but my vote would be for Braveheart.

Oomoog the Ecstatic 314 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Like I said, people choose Braveheart because of the movie, but it's a judgement error. It's still one of the greatest scores ever fathomed! but Titanic is better. Braveheart you can feel the whole movie and the extreme of emotions within the score. But with Titanic, the score made the movie. Braveheart was also a bit more safe. Both however are duly indescribable. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The score was written to complement the movie, so is it not natural for our view of the score to be informed by our impression of the movie? Difficult question to answer, methinks.

mstrox 6,612 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I've seen Titanic - it's fine, and while this might be damning with faint praise, I'd count it among my favorite Horner scores. I have both major-label Braveheart releases - bought the More release back in the days when I still considered blind-buying Horner worth my while - thinking that there was something I MUST be missing. Never found it. Did find a bunch of bad dialogue sprinkled throughout, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a long while before I found out it was worth getting the Braveheart OST on CD, but it's worth it for those final 15 - 20 minutes of music. The Titanic OST I purchased about when the film came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,903 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 From memory, Braveheart is virtually untouched in terms of tracking and looping: I think there's an additional Shakuhachi riff after Wallace assasinates Mornay, and a revised ending for Betrayal and Desolation, but otherwise its as composed.
