    Very Hollywood, but no interview with Michael Giacchino. The BBC's Sound of Cinema is more comprehensive and much better than this...

    It feels like music creation can be completely independent of the image. A good soundtrack is one that leaves the sound and picture scene and can still give people a complete feeling, not just reminiscent of a scene. The film interviewed many professional Hollywood musicians, and also listed those historical heavyweights, but they are completely American-style soundtrack legends, and Europe and Asia are not mentioned... Slightly...

    It accommodates the creation process, technological change, artistic innovation, musical style appreciation of important historical figures, and future development trends of movie soundtracks. Newman and his son, Williams, Hans Zimmer, Morricone, John Horner... Almost all the masters of the soundtrack that can be imagined have video materials in the film. Film score masters, always love music more than the movie...

    Although it cannot systematically cover the soundtrack masters, it is a good guide for beginners. At the end of the film, Cameron introduced the opportunity with James Horner, which is really...

    In a purely personal sense, by the time of Thomas Newman, his superb scoring ability also acted as a framework for solidifying Hollywood's scoring methodology. This frame makes later Hollywood soundtracks lose the core of true artistic creation, that is, there is no frame. HZ has nothing to...

    It's not a good documentary, the structure is messy, and it's basically a pile of elements. Americans really don't know how to make documentaries, but the content is still very good. Many familiar melodies sounded, which can resonate and make people cry. The sound is really...

    Some speak a little too fast and a little laboriously, but in general it is still a movie that justifies the name of the soundtrack artist at a glance. The focus is on the two masters of the two eras (JW and HZ), but unfortunately not a few representative works were selected for analysis. Agree with Tom Holkenborg, a good soundtrack really gives me...

    Master's famous songs, watching flowers at a glance, the absence of the East, a fly in the...

    #lifeisart# Awesome! stay! The interviewees are rich in samples, and the movie soundtracks are abundant. All the contents are linked together without any trace, like a wonderful prose poem~ The structure and narrative are very ingenious. For me, the greatest significance is that after watching the film, I found that my cognition of the world, such as the music that automatically fills in the brain in a specific scene, is actually the credit of the master of the film's soundtrack, and every...
