Dang it! I'm late to this comment thread. My personal favorite scores by James Horner to this day is #1 Wraith of Kahn, 2 The Rocketeer, and 3 The Mask of Zorro. Sad melodies, yet strangely at the same time, uplifting music throughout most of his more popular scores.
@nerva-
@nerva- 2 ай бұрын
It was a good score, but I went from being a huge fan of Horner back in the 80's-90's to having more and more disdain for him as I realized he copied his previous work in almost every "new" score - I couldn't understand why James Cameron kept paying him to compose for his blockbusters when so much of it was ripped off from his earlier work. After watching this video, I watched some of The Rocketeer and was thinking, "oh, this is a good score - I haven't heard of John Williams scoring it, perhaps it was Alan Silvestri or James Horner - then I hear a few notes that sounded just like some of Horner's other work, and I shook my head and was like, "yep, definitely Horner, you can always spot his work because it all sounds the same." I think the only soundtrack Horner might have done that he never really ripped off in later years was Glory - that was great music.

@@nerva- We could say the same about Zimmer, Williams or Morricone. You shouldn’t be so hard on Horner. Just about every composer rehashes their melodies or borrows from others, consciously or not. Not only that, many film composers have ghost writers under them. This is quite common. (I have a family member who often ghost writes) I heard from one musician that most composers only have a few melodies in their repertoire and that most of their songs are just variations of their core melodies. When a movie is released we often focus on the big names involved, e.g. The Director, The Composer, The Actors, etc. and forget about how collaborative the whole process is to make a film come to life. Almost every artistic medium participates in one form or another, on top of production logistics, etc, etc. There are many unsung heroes working in the shadows as there are many reinterpretations of the same melodies and the same stories.

Really? Because he was a terrible aircraft designer. He only gave some input on certain aspects of the H-1, the H-4 was almost certainly too fragile to fly with a load of cargo (and likely would have been destroyed by any kind of turbulence) and the XF-11 was just a ripoff of the P-38 and was completely obsolete by the time it flew.

@@PistonAvatarGuy I think more in the aspect that Hughes was a good businessman who also was very involved in the actual application end; he was a good pilot who set various records and did test flights that took an immense amount of physical bravery. While he was not a great engineer, he had an excellent understanding of all sorts of physical sciences, math, and biology. He had success in films, medical research, aerospace, and real estate. He likely did quite a lot of contract work for the government in intelligence/statecraft/diplomacy fields. He also banged a lot of roasties. To get where Hughes got and do what he did took a near super-hero level abilities and intelligence. To try and minimize his cultural important during the years 1930-1970 (and beyond) by saying he wasn't directly involved in much successful aircraft design is disingenuous.

Fun Fact, the comic the movie was based on had Cliff's love interest be the legend herself Bettie Page, spelled Betty Page in the comic because they originally didn't even have her consent to add her in (she was chill with it later when she found out but was due a bunch of royalties), thats some hardcore fandom right there. Also if you know who she is/was without having to google the name then much respect for being a long time person of culture.

The first time I saw this movie it was on The Disney Channel when I was about 5 years old. It kept me riveted the entire time and I never knew the title of it. Years went by, then Captain America: The First Avenger came out with the same kind of feel and I stumbled over an article about it telling me that it was from the same director of The Rocketeer. I was finally able to track it down and watch it, and damn I was surprised by how well it held up. I haven't read the comics, but I do very much want to. They're next on my list. I even got a Rocketeer T-shirt, just because I wanted to spread the love of the thing to random passersby on the street (before the unknown virus of unspecified origin hit.)

@@pete3198 Your mention of people being more classy in the past reminded me of when I was at the local crematorium for the funeral of a distant relative about three years ago. The mourners from our funeral were gathered in the peace garden, off to one side of the building, after the service whilst the mourners for the next funeral were congregating at the front door. We were all in suits and ties (men) or skirt suits (ladies), the next group looked like they'd turned up in whatever they happened to have at the top of their laundry basket. There were jeans. There were tracksuits. There was even a luminous pink jacket. They all had an appearance of having just been on their way to the shops and were only stopping off for the funeral because they happened to be passing. I hope whoever the funeral was for wrote the whole lot of them out of the will, because they clearly couldn't have cared less about the person in the coffin. Classy indeed...

You're spot on with this review. I've always loved this movie and have probably watched it at least a dozen times over the years. Of course Jennifer Connelly is stunning in this movie as she was in all those movies made back in the day. She absolutely stands out as one of the most beautiful woman in Hollywood across all of the decades. She was pure smoldering hotness in Mulholland Falls. Watching Inventing the Abbotts just to see her various curves is worth it. Beyond Jennifer this move is a pure disney classic in my mind.

OMG young Jennifer Connolly was a Goddess I fell for her watching Labyrinth and the Rocketeer moved it up a whole new level.

Something changed after Rocketeer. She had some baby fat on her, but later movies like A Beautiful Mind she just looked thinner and not better for it. I wonder if she had surgery.

@@Atreus21 Yeah, that touch of youthful thiccness really set her apart in the beauty department. I thought she looked good in that Eric Bana Hulk movie, but she was back to being too thin again in Alita.

The ending of this movie always makes me happy. It's just... like another day in what used to be California. The hero goes home, more or less, and the world moves on. It meant something, but there doesn't have to be a sequel. Love this movie.

Hayley Atwell is the only actress who has come close to encapsulating the 1940s pin-up girl the way Jennifer Connelly did, and that was part of what made Agent Carter such a fun series. And it doesn't hurt that both actresses had a "couple" of other things in common...

Little movie trivia for ya. That fun trick of sticking chewing gum on his planes was lifted from the hit film "Test Pilot" (1938) with Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Myrna Loy. Spencer Tracey plays aircraft mechanic "Gunner Morris" who ritualistically sticks his chewing gum on prototype planes just as Clark Gable straps in and takes off. It's a great must see flick. (Thought it was original eh? lol)
