    One of my least favourite Zimmers. The dialogue isn't poorly done, but I just can't tolerate dialogue when I'm listening to music as I find it distracting, so I always program dialogue tracks out. The tracks Avarice and Virtue are fine, but the best pieces are the non-Zimmer pieces Vide cor meum (Cassidy) and To every captive soul (Mahler).

  2. To Every Captive is Zimmer's pastiche of Mahler. It is *not* an original Mahler piece.

    It is brilliant! And you are dead on concerning the dialogue!

    My problem isn't the graphic violence (it's a pastiche, I think). My problem is that the film visually falls apart after we leave Florence, like Ridley lost all his visual talent until the brain scene.


    yeah

    I quite like dialogue sometimes. I like the dialogue on the Apollo 13 album since it doesn't play over the music, but sets it up quite nicely. In a wonderfully dramatic, albiet American way, I rather like hearing Ed Harris's voice declaring "With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour" before Horner's brilliant music flares up.

    Sure, it's corny. But I like it.

    It's basically the adagietto from Mahler's fifth symphony. Changing a couple of notes doesn't make it a Zimmer composition.

  6. I beg to differ here smile I did compare it to the original Adagietto and Hans changed quite a lot there.

    Been a while since I listened to both side by side. I just remember once doing so and finding Zimmer's piece more or less a copy. But I'll give it another go, I could be mistaken.

    NP : THE MUSIC OF ITC - Edwin Astley, Ron Grainer, John Barry, Laurie Johnson, Ken Thorne and more....



    Disc one, 6 tracks from Danger Man by Edwin Astley cool


    Now that I've played some Rammstein, super LOUD for the benefit of my neighbor ( he started drilling and DIY stuff ), I know he loved it because he only plays folk music thumbs

    Anyway, back to disc two of the ITC set which I'm enjoying immensely...

    I think the visual style in HANNIBAL is fantastic and drop-dead gorgeous. In fact, Scott hasn't made a single film that isn't a visual marvel.

    The film has a few problems in other areas, but is overall quite underrated.
    I am extremely serious.

    I thought that was too silly to take seriously. It felt like the film-makers were having a meeting where they were discussing how to gross people out the most, and this was the grossest idea they could possibly come up with. I wouldn't mind such an idea for a splatter B-movie, but for a movie that seems to take itself way too seriously, I raised my eyes to heaven repeatedly during that scene.

    Why did you think it was silly? What was done IS possible. The film makers didn't come up with that scene, it features in Thomas Harris novel.

    Why do I think a man eating his own brain is silly? Exhibit A: It's a man... eating... his own brain. Case closed. How is that not silly?

    It IS also possible to make a human centipede. Doesn't mean it's not silly either.

    I haven't read the novel so I'm not sure how it was handled there, but in a movie that took itself so seriously, the scene turned me off. Perhaps I should see it again. Might feel differently on my second viewing.

    Peter smile
  18. The movie didn't take itself too seriously, Ridley handled it as a genre pastiche. I mean, look even at the introduction of Lecter.

    I thought the scene in the film was horrifying, very surreal and nightmarish. If you consider that the brain doesn't feel pain ( people have brain surgery while conscious ) there is no problem in having Lektor operate and feed a man his own brain, the agents ( The Ray Liotta character ) mental disintegration as small sections of his brain are cut away and served to him are chilling.

    Same here. I thought it was a great climax that was perfectly in line with the burlesque tone of the whole film. Almost operatic.

    Agree with you on the score.

    The film is one of Scott's better latter efforts.

    the problem is that I was expecting a continuation of the Silence of the Lambs feel, and like many the brain scene changed a lot of opinions.

    I never want to see this one again

    Oddball mix of Wagner and medieval music for a film whose tone I was never able to get, but tantalizing nonetheless.
