Doesn't say much for the competition does it?
This score had a particularly anodyne effect in common with most of Hans Zimmer's derivative output.
With Inception, Hans Zimmer contributes largely to the sense that you're watching an extended trailer, edited as an endless montage sequence with no room for suspense or dramatic pause. Zimmer's constant driving electronic rhythms lack any chemistry with the characters and espouse any kind of memorable theme to the extent that the music follows the pre-determined pattern of the digitally enhanced soundtrack merely to set the mood and get you through to the end of the movie.
It's lazy, it's boring and proved by the following:
quote:
"What we do is a little thinner and a little shallower, and it's called film music. It's entertainment. I think I would lose some of my freedom of having ideas if I took it all a bit seriously."
Hans Zimmer
Contrast his malaised approach with:
quote:
"If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it will be because it is good."
quote:
"I would have burned out a long time ago if I just took a job, the money and ran with it.... When I'm excited about something, the creativity just flows. I like a good creative fight. The soundtrack will always get done. But I'm not happy until it gets done well."
quote:
"When I get a fantasy film job, the first thing I look for is the non-fantasy element to build the music upon. The human side of the film is what's important, not the hardware.... There is no formula to finding what musically fits a science fiction film. I just look for the emotion."
quote:
"I'm not a film- composer, I'm a composer"
Jerry Goldsmith
