Supermans rescue is perhaps my favorite short moment in the score. Also the moment when Lex messages Superman and clark jumps out the window.

Jurassic Shark 12,070 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The second half sure has its moments, but to me the first half sounds so much more refined. It made a lot of sense when I read that JW had plenty of time writing the first half, but very little time for the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,440 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yes, the second half feels jumbled and it all runs together for me. I enjoy the first half a lot more. The best part about the second half, though, is that all the themes get lots of variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it more than the second half, but I'll concede that the two halves almost sound like two different films. The first half is epic, operatic symphonic story-telling; second is vintage 70's romantic/thrilling underscoring. But that works for me, because the differences are visual as well.

fommes 153 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Question: in the liner notes it says the alternate segment "I Can Fly" was arranged for a shorter edit, but this particular segment is as long as the equivalent portion in "The Flying Sequence". So, just an alternate rather than a shorter version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,525 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Flying Sequence was for the earlier, longer edit, I Can Fly was written for when it was shortened, but it wasn't used and Flying Sequence was edited down and used instead. That's how I understood it at least. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only film edits, or approximations without speedup and distortion really, are the Main Title and End Credits, as bonus tracks. Maybe we can count Can You Read My Mind as well, which is also presented with the poem overlay placed exactly as is in the film. Main programs pretty much never edit cues down. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,714 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 The Superman score seems to have - for being released in 1978 - gone through alot of shenanigans of editing tracks and switching cues - but then they changed their minds and changed it back again but this time with an edit of the original instead... it’s more than just alternates or unused (or dialed out) cues (which also exists!). JW’s other scores from the 70s and 80s does seem to have this kind of complicated history. I would guess that today it’s easier and more common with digital editing to swap things around and edit however you like, but I imagine that back in the day it would’ve been quite a hassle. Are there more examples in JW’s catalogue of the old switcharoo-game? Or is Superman the sole example? If so, then why? Donner’s directing style? Time constraints?

rough cut 1,714 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yeah, the themes in Superman are phenomenal and they way they are handled, the way they fit the screen - sublime! The only other instance I can think of - where a kind of swapping has occurred - is the “binary sunset” insert in The Force Awakens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
