Snowster 23 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 First some background...I currently own about 10 John Williams Soundtracks (Harry Potter 1 & 2, Jurassic Park 1 & 2 (and 3), CMIYC, The Patriot, Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones 1 & 3 etc.) After reading this thread I decided to get The Fury (deluxe edition) from Varese, even though I haven't seen the film or heard the soundtrack. Well I ended up buying something else too...

Morlock 11 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Great start! I know exactly what it's like- I had like 5 Williams CDs, than I got 9 off Amazon.com, and it's been growing ever since, and now, less than two years later I have a very large collection (And I only got Presumed Innocent and Stanely & Iris two weeks ago!).

fommes 153 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 The Deluxe, it's a specialized store. But I have seen it in Fnac too, a few years ago, so they do sell those CD's sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 (A vague and incomplete discription) A Theremin is an electronic insturment that creates that otherworldly sound used in alot of Alien or sci fi movies, especialy in B movies. The Day The Earth Stood Still, Plan 9 from Outer space, Ed Wood and Mars Attacks come to mind (and of course the Fury). If I recall correctly, it looks kinda like a shoe box with an antenna, and you move your hands (without touching it) to make different sounds with it. A very vague and probably partialy inaccurate summary, which I gathered from watching the behind the scenes of Ed Wood several months back.

Morlock 11 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Yah, I have a few tracks of it (from one of the Prague Phillharmonics CDs) and it's great. A genuine classic alien score, which lead to all the imitations and spoofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin 2 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Well I saw The Fury this morning. Overall I found the film to be entertaining. Most of the real emotion was from the music which is truly astounding in the film. Gillian's Escape is easily one the greatest uses of music in a film. The acctually film I thought was very well directed but if you ask me just wasn't that scary. Cameron on Aliens talks about the diffrence between Horror and disgust and I think that applies very much to this film. Much of the "Horror" was simply disgust at all the blood. Although I found the actor who played Robin to have his character go though a good "mood arc" throughout the film. Overall an entertaining film that succeds more as a thriller action film than a horror movie.Justin -Who thinks everyone should watch the movie just to hear the score in the film.

Justin 2 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 The Fury ReviewPART TWO: What about the finale? Well I thought it was a rather neat explosion. Although something of an odd way to end the movie. It further helps my theory that the entire film is built on disgust rather than horror. If you ask me it just seemed like they needed something else afterwords. But hey the music was great and overall it was a fun finale. (Although they certainly thought the explosion was good enough to see from a dozen angles. ) The slow-mo scene (Gillian's Escape you mean?) Was excellent the best scene in the movie if you ask me. I love DePalma's Slow-mo scenes. The Baby carriage on the stairs in The Untouchables was an incredible sequence. As is Gillian's Escape. Although when Hester crashes into the windshield it shatters. Which a windshield wouldn't really do. Again I'd say it was a fun entertaining movie which is certainly better than many films comming out these days. Out of 4 stars I'd give it a 3. Not a brilliant film but it's definatly good.Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love De Palma's use of sound, and of music as sound, in that sequence. The gun shots (and I believe the decapitation, too) are scored with music as sound effects.Generally, De Palma seems to like interesting bits like that. As in Femme Fatale, when he blends out all French dialogue during a slow motion sequence but still displays the subtitles.Marian - waiting for his next film.

Morn 8 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Aside from the decaptitation and the explosion, I don't think there's much disgust in it, actually. Was it supposed to be a horror movie?

Morlock 11 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well, DePalma is probably the most highly stylised director working today, I really felt this wanting to break out in The Untouchables and Carlito's Way, but he couldn't too much (I think even The Untouchables, which is a great movie, seemed to showy at times). Then, from Mission Impossible, he's been taking giant leaps with each movie. MI is such a slick, stylish movie, that the second one seemed like parody, then Snake Eyes- I saw in the theater when it came out and remember just being so interested by everything that was going on, the looks of the film, the editing, the split screen, the real time, the multiple POVs. I just wish he could balance out his movies in the future, since like Femme Fatale was all style and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
