Richard Penna 3,687 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Saw the film once. Overlong and boring for the most part. The OST is fun in occasional Thor-sized chunks; I don't need more. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,440 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'll probably get it, but I want to see who worked on it and if it has any issues. Haven't heard the OST, but I like a good James Horner score. (is this a good James Horner score?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,439 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I already own the bootleg. As I said on the other thread, there's some great unreleased cues if you love the score (like myself) and want to get more of that sound (which is amazing). But if you don't care about the score, or just like it in small doses, the OST provides more enough material of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellosh 3,418 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 1. No 2. No Would have voted 'maybe' for #2 though. I've always liked James Horner's work, and I regret not getting a few of his expansions that seem to have been sold out for quite some time, so maybe I won't miss out on this. I've never seen the movie though, and that usually plays a role in me liking and wanting a score, especially when it's a Non-Williams score. And I have absolutely no intention of seeing this film any time soon. But who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,439 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Legends of the Fall is fascinating for me, in a sense that, if it wasn't for us film music fans, that movie would've been forgotten already. The movie isn't good, it wasn't exactly a box office hit, nor a movie that won several Oscars... No one should be able to remember this thing, but Horner's music stops this film from being completly forgotten. I guess not even Brad Pitt wants to remember he was the protagonist of this movie. The only reason it is talked about until this day is because us, film music fans that love the score. It's a fascinating way to think about the power of our fandom.

Thor 7,500 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Have had the CD ever since it came out. Great cornerstone of a score in Horner's resume, although the album is slightly over-long as it is (so no expansion wanted, of course). It's been many years since I saw the film, so I have few memories of it. I seem to remember it as a fairly OK western melodrama, but that's about it. And Anthony Hopkins is my second favourite actor of all time, so I can watch him in anything and get immense pleasure out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,500 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 It's a Goldsmith-scored film. Goldsmith was the master at scoring bad movies, many of which are only remembered by film score fans like us today, based on the music alone. He's really the ultimate example of this.

It's a sublime piece of work. A good friend of mine thinks it's about two people bitching about a Chinaman. He just doesn't get it. Hopkins is channelling the same kind of repressive emotion, that De Nero does, in THE KING OF COMEDY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing that Goldsmith's career has so many movies that no one cares except us, and just because of the score. Horner also has his fair share as well (I love the score for Sneakers, but the movie is completly forgotten) and even Williams. How many of us would've been discussing Far and Away 28 years later if it wasn't for his music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morricone probably still wins this crown, but he also did thrice as many movies. Speaking of which, while i adore Horner's themes for 'Legends..', in tandem with Zwick's schmaltzy opus it 'lifts this movie into pure satire. It's like Barry on steroids, overselling every fateful moment into delirious silliness. It's entertaining but unintentionally. I agree that it's more than well-represented on the 75-minute Sony album, Horner doesn't develop his material much, so it's just more of the same. Just now, Edmilson said: I love the score for Sneakers, but the movie is completly forgotten What? Everyone of my generation remembers Sneakers, it was the first techie/nerds picture done as well-constructed glossy thriller and was very well-liked.

Thor 7,500 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Yes, SNEAKERS is an oft-mentioned reference point of that particular genre. It's neither bad nor forgotten. If you want Horner "clankers", try the early B movies like BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS or KRULL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,439 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 It's that I never really knew that a movie called Sneakers existed until I started listening to Horner. It's one of my top 15 (maybe 10) Horner scores, and I plan on checking the movie anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 ^Don't expect too much. All I can remember from seeing that film is that they couldn't even get the position of Durban correct on the map, the whole cinema audience LOLed at that. Re Legends, I am listening to the DVD iso and to be honest I think the OST covers all the highlights. I will probably get the Intrada purely as it is one of Horner's signature scores from the 90s along with Braveheart and Apollo 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of watching the "A-Team" movie in a cinema in Cologne, Germany. When an aerial shot of Cologne central station came up (with the cinema I was in just barely out of frame), subtitled "Frankfurt, Germany", the room bursted out in laughter. Definitely getting the expanded "Legends of the Fall". I only know "The Ludlows" from a Horner sampler, but always loved it. 1977, Naïve Old Fart and Smeltington 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
