Author	Topic: Hans Zimmer's commentary on PEARL HARBOR

dgoldwas Goldmember	According to DVDFile.com's review of the upcoming Vista Series 4-DVD set of PEARL HARBOR, Hans Zimmer contributes to the technical commentary track. (This wasn't listed in the press release.) Interesting! Dan

Camillu Goldmember	Maybe he's gonna talk about his frustrating search for "THE THEME".

MarkA Goldmember	At one point there was supposed to be included an isolated score for the attack sequence. Is this still there?

I thought that people complained that the theme was over used... Unless you were actually talking about how he was trying to find the theme for a long time. In that case I will just be quiet...

Justin Goldmember	I think Camillu was making fun at the fact that every score Zimmer produces he is always becoming fustrated at trying to find the "theme" I always find that amusing myself.

Camillu Goldmember	I was referring to the comments Zimmer had made, which you can read in the review over at Filmtracks. Don't get me wrong, I like the theme he came up with, but when you read his comments you'd think he was scoring Lawrence of Arabia.

Shaun Rutherford Goldmember	The theme from Pearl Harbor sounds nearly identical to the "love theme" from Tomorrow Never Dies ("Paris and Bond"). For an identical lift, check out the Trevor Jones score to From Hell. Shaun

HadrianD Goldmember	Dude, what are you talking about. Hans's theme "nearly identical" to David's? How about David ripping off Mark Mancina's Twister. That's right, a rip. Listen to the album and then make your comparison. And as for PH? Someone made the comparison of it being similar in mood to those in the Wells Fargo commercials, which it does, but then both of them are trying to convey the same ambience. PH doesn't sound in any way like TND. My be you should clarify more as to your state of mind when you made the comparison

dgoldwas Goldmember	quote: Originally posted by SPQR: and with any luck he'll talk over every minute of the score.... Umm... yeah, since it's not an ISOLATED score, and he shares the commentary track with a bunch of other guys. (It's not isolated in the film - just on the attack sequence on the supplement disc.) Again, did anyone READ the review?? Dan

monkey Goldmember	I`m sorry, Shaun, but From Hell does not sound anywhere near identical to PH or TND

Shaun Rutherford Goldmember	All righty then, time to get the sound clips out! Shaun
posted 06-16-2002 07:47 AM PT (US)

sean Goldmember	Shaun, where did you get that idea of Zimmer copying TND? They're not identical at all. That's probably the stupidest thing you've posted; it makes no sense at all. Dan I read the review, I really enjoy DVDfile reviews, especially the original Pearl Harbour review. Sums up pretty much what I thought of the film, and I too will get this new set because I want that music for the bombing sequence and am interested in Hans Zimmer's commentary. NP: Amistad - John Williams ***/***

Shaun Rutherford Goldmember	Hey, I'll try and post sound clips from each, and you can hear what I'm talking about. My post is about as stupid as saying that Amistad is a 5-star score. Like all of the past few Spielberg/Williams scores, the theme is good, the rest is uninspired dreck. Shaun

Lancelot Goldmember	Just like Goldsmith's past few scores....

sean Goldmember	Shaun Rutherford: My post is about as stupid as saying that Amistad is a 5-star score. Like all of the past few Spielberg/Williams scores, the theme is good, the rest is uninspired dreck. My reply: It so happens that I was listening to the theme, track 4 I think. Amistad sucks as a film, same old American crap; and was heavily criticised by Spike Lee, rightfully so, a white director like Spielberg shouldn't being trying to make a film like Amistad. Anyway, Shaun, I love all the soundtracks I buy.

Lancelot Goldmember	(Spinning dizzily off-topic.) Spike Lee is wrong--and Spielberg is Jewish.
posted 06-16-2002 07:21 PM PT (US)

sean Goldmember	LOL! Whatever man, you like Michael Bay! Since your such a fan of bad cinema and you seem to have zero knowledge of anything historical what would you about Spike Lee? And my post had nothing to do with religion. Yes, Lancelot, I too am getting dizzy.

Shaun Rutherford Goldmember	Hey Sean, I'll throw out another humdinger for y'all to call me crazy about (though I've posted it before and nobody cared): I think "Cinque's Theme" sounds like Our Man Flint. In this order, I want you all to hum both of them, then tell me I'm right. Lancelot, I seriously don't think you have a leg to stand on with this whole "Shaun bashes Zimmer, so let's bash Goldsmith because it'll probably upset him" thing. I bash Zimmer because he sucks 99.2% of the time. I am not such an idiot that I cannot tell you that The Last Castle, Along Came A Spider, and the last half of The Sum Of All Fears were lame and unoriginal (though The Last Castle is EXCELLENT in the film). They were. This does not change the fact that Zimmer sucks/blows. Shaun

monkey Goldmember	Opinions, opinions.... But there is no way that From Hell sounds anywhere similar to Pearl Harbour (maybe to TND, though haven`t heard it for a while) That`s like saying that Edelman`s music sounds anywhere near orchestral or good for that matter.

Lancelot Goldmember	Sean...My post was not about religion, either. Jewish is an ethnicity, as well as a religion...however, someone with a knowledge of things historical would know that, right? The fact that you think I am a fan of what you call "bad" cinema (which seems to be based solely on opinion) has something to do with what I do know about history seems to illustrate how paranoid you are about films. I'm smart enough to pick up a book after I walk out of a theater. That's about all you really have to know--or as much as I have to prove to you. Any other attempt to try and somehow discredit me based on what I value is just another attempt at trying to get away with thinking as little as possible. Shaun...everyone knows what a cranky bastard you are, just like everyone knows what a pollyanna I am, so I think between the two of us, we don't really mean sh*t. I love Goldsmith as much as I love Zimmer, and that's probably unfathomable to you, but if you want to run your whole anti-Zimmer crusade (also based on opinion) from behind your keyboard, knock yourself out, pal. Just don't throw a hernia when you see me there.
