Holy shit, that kill monger flute section. Goose bumps.

[@Yoemmymadethisrighthere]

NO LIES ... I FR FELT SAME ... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT FEELING IS!

[@808mike]

Kill Monger guy sounded like a mad genius on that flute 🔥🔥

[@subhashkapur4148]

That Killmonger flute bit - absolutely brilliant ❤️❤️

[@ART-oq4ek]

He won an oscar award for Black Panther now he is famous

[@jeremiahmarkusmedia6915]

He is a modern Mozart

The video at 5:22 gave me goosebumps meaning that's the theme to black panther movie and black panther wankanda forever movie omg but they mixed both together and combined them but improvised by adding more to it which brought tears to my eyes it's also symbolic cause I lost my brother on the same day Chadwick Boseman passed away I miss my brother too

[@mysterybotts]

Sorry for your loss. Missing my dad as well. That is really cool to have repeated themes that elaborate on those musical “memories”. Really brings the feeling together.

This is such a beautiful interview, the production, the questions, and the use of the composer's music

[@Jabrils]

I love every mili-second of this video

[@iceomistar4302]

Jon Burlingame is truly one of the great film music historians

[@Chiggianya]

this needs more views

[@maki9396]

I didn't know he literally screamed Killmonger between playing how did I miss that

[@andekiranmadiga4399]

Ohhhhh God Oscar is Correct That Amazing Music👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳,,,

[@RizztrainingOrder]

So many brilliant composers that are “undiscovered” can take inspiration from the absolutely lucky break Ludwig got. His scores are simple and tech/industrial type modern sound that is so similar to most UC grads but luckily he scored for a movie that had such a perfectly timed story for these turbulent times resulting in his big break. He deserves it as do so many other future big time composers! Awesome inspiration!

Jesus makes awesome music. 🧔‍♀️🎼 Seriously though, Goosebumps throughout. 🫶

[@antoniobanderas9559]

Amazing🔥🔥🔥

[@jeevesmakingnoise]

Love it!

[@EDNICK012407]

Wow 😳 speechless

[@AliddekiBrian]

Wish to take part of the music making in one of the movies ❤

[@dinithavithanage]

While Ludwig surely directed all these musicians from Africa. I feel like the score was as brilliant as it is because of those musicians. They seemed to have done a whole lot of improvisation. And thus, it was ultimately a collective effort in the composition department. It almost feels off to credit a single musician for "music by".

[@mariahstevens598]

Yesss exactly I agree. I wish the actual singers and stuff at least had their names in the actual tracks like (feat.) or something. I wonder why this wasn’t applied.

[@pianoatthirty]

because without his initiative and creativity all those musicians and the sounds they made wouldn't have been brought together into a cohesive, moving piece of music. As with cooking, just because you're given good ingredients doesn't mean you're going to make a good dish. He completely deserves the 'music by' credit.

[@dinithavithanage]

@@pianoatthirty agreed!

[@arpadelluna]

I want to know: which Bernstein music is sounding in the scene (dialogue-less) in which Lenny loads the 3 kids into the station wagon after their mother has died. Does anybody know?
