Pawel P. 738 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 This is the best soundtrack of 2020 for me, but I hold back on buying it, the CD-R version (anyway, I never buy a CD-R). As far as I know, due to someone who knows Zimmer and asked him about it, "proper CD" will be out this year. I hope it'll indeed be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no normal (pressed) CD with this score. There is a CD-R (burned CD) that will probably cease to function in 5 or 10 years. But it's possible that they will release a deluxe 2CD (pressed) that combines the soundtrack and the sketches that are now released. That would be the most logical edition. 150 minutes of music.

Wasn't much of a fan from the X-Periments from Dark Phoenix but that one sound extremely well. Guess we'll have to wait another decade for a proper expansions containing both the sketches and the score. So sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when Williams plays Leias Theme for the " Death of Ben" Ruined the scene. 😎 Flawed analogy. The SW example came within the same score where all the material was being introduced, whereas we had full years for us to sit with the BvS material before it got used in WW84. There is a lot of intrigue in trying to figure out what Williams was exactly going for with that particular scene in ANH. Zimmer fully deciding to just keep it from the temp track wholesale because it's the "same universe" leaves little to the imagination, and just makes you wonder how the man goes about making these sorts of decisions often. At least with the Pompeii track at the end, the arrangement is changed enough to where it fits in solidly with the rest of the score. Beautiful Lie essentially is just needle dropped, and I feel it's particularly frustrating because the following track (The Beauty In What Is) manages to capture the exact same emotions of that cue in its own way (particularly the alt version on the complete).

bruce marshall 1,314 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 No it's a good analogy . I wasn't familiar with the BVS theme so I had no " confusion" . It's all music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 982 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'll concede that to the uninitiated, it probably doesn't sound particularly out of the ordinary (especially after they would've already heard Adagio in D Minor prior in the film). But to those familiar with Zimmer's canon and/or the DCEU scores, it really sticks out like a sore thumb. Especially given some would've already been fairly unimpressed with how much Hans got too reliant on his old tricks once more (despite how reinvigorated they are here), so this blatant display hasn't helped his case much there. I honestly expected not to think anything of it, as I wasn't much of a fan of BvS's music. And yet, whenever I do get to that part on some listens, it just ends up bringing a bit of whiplash. It's been too ingrained as Batman material for me to really accept it working as an incidental cue in a different score. I feel it'd have been a lot easier to accept, if again The Beauty In What Is wasn't the rewrite of the cue that fit within the score. On my "alternate" playlist of the complete (where I basically removed all the temp track cues), its absence isn't felt in the slightest. Besides, consciously writing a theme in a cue versus fully re-recording a pre-existing track are going to feel fundamentally different anyway, so I'm not sure if it's apt as a comparison.

HunterTech 982 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Unfortunately, ASCAP has been rather slow in bringing us the proper cue titles and credits (presumably because they were hoping the score got nominated for the Oscar).

WampaRat 1,105 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Just read that. Cool to see Clemmensen finally toss him a bone. I’d say WW1984 is definitely his best between 2010-2020.

Edmilson 7,380 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Agreed. I didn't liked most of his scores from the last decade, specially for blockbusters (BR2049, Dunkirk, Amazing Spider-Man 2, MoS).

Edmilson 7,380 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I wouldn't put the blame solely on his concerts. I think since 2008 with The Dark Knight he wanted to write a different kind of score, less emotional and orchestral than most of his 2000s output and more experimental and electronic. Just compare The Da Vinci Code with Angels and Demons and Inferno, for example. However, he did brought back his 90s/2000s kind of sound on WW84. That's what made a lot of people who hasn't liked a score from him since then admire it. WampaRat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, my problem with Man of Steel is the decision to save the main theme in the end credits. Also, as I said in another forum, it just frustrates me in general that between Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Justice League, nobody was able to incorporate the main theme into the scores and yet, the cue "Flight' got 2 specific scenes devoted to it in 2 different films. 5 minutes ago, Edmilson said: I wouldn't put the blame solely on his concerts.

HunterTech 982 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I'd also point towards what Nolan and most major studios wanted to get out of their films, since that was the exact brand of HZ that got popular. After all, you still got your odd projects like TASM2 that didn't really resemble much of his other work at the time. As for MoS, I think I'd like it a lot more if it was generally just a different score. Keep a lot of the ideas and some cues, but find a way to make the meat of the piece to be more engaging. Of course, I imagine he was handicapped by what the films asked for (especially in the case of BvS), but I just know he can make a much more uplifting Superman score with what WW84 has shown us.

Between directors, producers, film music fans, and fans, I think it impossible for Zimmer to please everyone. And part of the drawback to being a popular composer is that everyone wants their piece. If Synder made MoS like WW84 and asked for a score like that, I felt like he would have gained a lot more film music fan praises but would have lost a lot more causal fans. Just look on YouTube, Spotify, etc. I don't think casual fans love WW84 anywhere close to how we like it. I think they largely prefer MoS. But ultimately, you are right and it is up to the studio and director to dictate the film direction and what HZ is going to write.

TheUlyssesian 2,473 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I think to an extent for purists like CC and I might call myself one, WW84 actually sounds like a real score - with good proper orchestration, good melodies, some refinement in construction - rather than the banging clanging sound design noise like scores that he usually does. It was almost like - hey! he can still write normal music! The man has it in him. I don't know why he doesn't write in this mode more often.

I don't think it will be because of the serious tone. But the one glimmer of hope is that Villenueve himself said the studios told him he can't make just art movies anymore. I suspect the movie will be a lot more fun than BR2049. Plus, early screeners said that the music has motifs and leimotifs and a middle eastern influence. So I guess Gladiator in space is my optimistic prediction. I also don't know what to think about No Time to Die. But Top Gun: Maverick has to be fun right?

Even if it’s a tense drama, thriller etc. It doesn’t mean melodies can’t be used in those films. In fact if Zimmer himself started to write more melodic material for films like that, I’d WELCOME the numerous copycats that would inevitably follow, potentially ending the era of ambient drone/ostinato chugging for a while.

The pendulum will swing the other way when a new collection of auteur directors accept melodic music as a viable medium for intellectual story telling. You look at the art directors today: Chloe Zhao, Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, David Fincher, Aaron Sorkin, Paul Thomas Anderson, Damien Chazelle, Alejandro González Iñárritu, etc...how many of them are spearheading melodic music? Not a lot. Chazelle maybe. Guillermo del Toro perhaps. I think melodic music will always exists in action/sci-fi/fantasy films to some degree. But I think it is fading because directors want to be respected and they think abstract music makes them more unique and visionary. If you look at Zimmer's resume in the last 10 years, he wrote plenty of melodic music in animated films like Kung Fu Panda 3, The Boss Baby, and adventure films like The Lone Ranger. But in his live action dramas and contemporary action films, experimentation and abstraction dominated. Would he have done something different if they were made by Spielberg, Howard, and Abrams? I don't know. But I think changes will have to come from the directing chairs. Lastly, it doesn't help that critical acclaim movies embody very different values now. In the past, live action Oscar winners were wholesome, emotional, larger than life pictures. Now, the industry (perhaps the audience as well) values naturalistic, unflinching narratives, with sepia toned cinematography. Naturally the music follows.

WampaRat 1,105 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 That’s a very good explanation on partly why film music for “serious cinema” has taken the direction it has. I always thought certain directors argument/worry about music “manipulating the audience” was so silly. Everything else (actors performance, cinematography, sound design) is intended to solicit a specific emotional reaction from the viewer. Isn’t that “manipulative”? Why should film music be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
