Miracle on the Hudson - Landing Scene Set To Music Vs. Silent Cinematic Release - Meddling Edit

[@scottw6704]

I thought the music gave an interesting "throwback" appeal similar to the late 70s-80s action/disaster movies. So it was fun to experience that juxtaposition with this movie clip. I appreciate your time putting this together.

[@CoalCreekCroft]

Thanks. Was sort of a shrug effort but got some great analysis. Music in things strikes me sometimes; how it works if it works or really doesn't and marvel at the details. This Royal Philarmonic (I think) cut is from the early 80s "Amazing Stories", The Mission. So has that time vibe. But that's also one of the best hour-long stories I've seen. Has Kevin Costner as the pilot, Kiefer Sutherland and an unrecognizably young Anothy La Pagila (just looked up). VERY well done. And an ending only Spielberg could pull off. Cheers.

This is what true professionals look like, made a decision of courage that was in the best interest for all

[@CoalCreekCroft]

Absolutely. One part that "gets me" each time is Sully's (Hank's) face, cool (if highly concerned) full engagment and that delicate adjustment of that manual heading lever after: "We're going to end up in the Hudson." "I'm sorry, say again, Cactus?" then totally dismisses any answer as useless. Back to full fight to save themselves and all else.

The music is not needed.

[@CoalCreekCroft]

And ... totally missed the point but cheers.

[@theodorebolan6724]

@@CoalCreekCroft And ... no he didn't miss the point. 'Music vs silent' and he said music not needed and I agree. Meddling edit - I agree and I'll leave it. The added score was harsh and overly dramatic for such a scene. Knowing when to add music and what kind is an art that they give awards for. Cheers.

[@CoalCreekCroft]

@@theodorebolan6724 For the love of God,the title, description and WHOLE POINT. I noted, agreed and saluted the rare choice of not adding music to the theatrical release. Worked much better but here is just a VARIATION. Chrissakes, a fraction of people out there do not think, read or process. I cannot help intellectual bricks.

[@CoalCreekCroft]

@@theodorebolan6724 Apologizes to Queen: "And another one missed, and another one missed, another one misses (THE WHOLE) point ..." THAT WAS THE REASON, genius, and exactly what I was showing." Clearly noted, too. Say, got a great bridge for you in Brooklyn ... CHEAP! This is more striking for the people that miss the obvious point so much I wonder how they follow street signs.

Music kills everything

[@CoalCreekCroft]

Hope it's a good example. At one level it was more of an exercise in audio editing; if it WAS intended, this one fit it almost as if deliberate. Some fades during right times, etc. HOWEVER, as many note (and some criticized mistaking the exercise), even with a good score, the rare ABSENCE of one can be a killer choice. And agree that so much is becoming rote or simply annoying. (Example off top of head: later if not all of Star Trek Next Generation, Voyager, etc in that franchise at the time. The generic, CONSTANT background music vs when needed sparingly in TOS, soon became too much for me to bear. Final coffee-triggered note: honestly did not even intend making this video (well, dropping in a score; tough stuff) but somehow fell together then became an example because the rando score I tried happened to fit it length-wise. When recently seeing the Miracle on the Hudson clip (just to see again as I recalled it being so well done) before that, I was genuinely surprised noting there was no music score; did not recall beyond it was so well done. Thus proving that point of too much or any at all. Best scores (like this one from Amazing Stories, The Mission) are key pieces, some of the best I recall and enjoy but isn't any orchestration in real life. Cheers. Carry on.

That is really intrusive

[@CoalCreekCroft]

This has turned out to be quite the rabbit hole! Gotta love the internet. Vids you deliberately work on get 4 views but the rando experiments get ... more, but with a lot of unintendedly (that a word?) annoying quite a few. Not the vibe I get from you; a very true statement and turned out to be the point, I guess. Recall how great this scene was and honestly surprised to review it and clue in (I must have forgotten) this climatic scene had NONE. The score "fit" (no idea why I dropped it in; just messing with sound editing). Not doing so was bold and most effective even over a score that 99% of directors would add. To point these days that some would never think of it much less do it. FIrst coffee; almost done: as a writer (history but some fiction) I've always been aware that there are only a handful of basic plots for all stories. Is that the same for music? In that, my God, from books to movies to thousands out there, more "stories" are demanded just to keep pumping out content. Constant background music can kill it (like Star Trek Next Generation and those shows. NEVER ENDS and loses all sense vs say, the needed parts in ST TOS). Each time I tag a great music score I wonder when we're only able to repeat ourselves. Carry on.

I didn't know this was a Star Wars movie.

[@CoalCreekCroft]

Good one. Cheers.

WooP

[@admincpt]

Music is tone deaf...It climaxes in all the wrong places.

[@garrymelnyk8084]

Nix the music

[@CoalCreekCroft]

Clint Eastwood (director) was bold in NOT using it in the original. Also heard a note "After Sully speaks, nothing else matters." Ironically Eastwood also composed (or was part of composing) what soundtrack there was.

[@shanebennett3308]

Music sucks

[@PlymouthVT]

Stupid music...Silence is tension. Music is nonsense.

[@CoalCreekCroft]

This sort of demonstrates that, eh? Again it's ultimately an example of that.

[@CoalCreekCroft]

PS: Can you imagine if we had this in real life? On one hand it might be helpful (i.e. rising tension notes in a horror or danger situation) but we'd all have gone raving mad and dug out our ears with icepicks long before. (Or maybe cotton balls; brrr!)
