The Score Auteur: Hans Zimmer

[@igorsetkowicz]

Hans Zimmer + Chris Nolan = Some of the best work in modern cinema!

[@alexw8882]

No. Zimmer bandwagons Nolan's films.

[@SudipBanerjee]

Absolutely....Love Nolan and Zimmer from India

[@smoshbooz]

@@alexw8882 no. You just want to be edgy

[@alexw8882]

Not so. Nolan has the film brains but not the music brains to acknowledge what music his films actually need. Just try to find the merit in David Julyan's soundtracks of Nolan's films. Nothing special, even from the perspective of atmospheric minimalism.

[@vb8428]

@@flibbittygibbitt And also Nolan gave Zimmer the watch to compose the Dunkirk theme. The Edgy Nolan haters can piss off

[@yandhiadi3021]

The sadness here is he has won an oscar only for Lion King ! And nothing else

[@Wired4Life2]

At least he has one. Thomas Newman is still empty-handed.

[@emamboccusumarriaz2059]

Should have won for inception

[@uriels4097]

In 2011 The Social Network by Trent Reznor won the oscar and it was well deserved

[@Wired4Life2]

@@uriels4097 Agreed. Inception is great, but The Social Network is eclectic, future-forward, and unrepeatable.

[@drewcollier1138]

The Social Network winning Best Original Score is one the Academy's most embarrassing decisions. The award is clearly called "Best Original Score", not "Most Popular Score Fad of the Last Quarter of the Year". Was The Social Network the best score of 2010? That over HTTYD, Deathly Hallows Part 1, Inception, The Last Airbender, Narnia 3, etc. ?

[@aliyahquizon7053]

"Time" from Inception will always be my favorite Hans Zimmer composition.

[@Bobby1998]

Aliyah Quizon that one alone is oscar worthy.

[@aliyahquizon7053]

uddeshya gupta most certainly is.

[@seaque.]

Mine is Man of Steel. Perfect

[@CultureDTCTV]

Inception's score is the bets movie score ever

[@saumyashahi1963]

SAME

[@saloksingh7]

Interstellar will always be very close to my heart. It literally pierces my heart every time I hear it.

[@moistspuds845]

AGREEED

[@ohyeayea68]

I love the Joker’s theme, especially the part that’s the opposite of Batman’s theme. Batman: D note to F note Joker: D note to C note

[@hazmanrostam2849]

The spidey soundtrack was surprisingly remarkable too.. pure creativity as in electronics genre

[@drewcollier1138]

Can't quite give credit to Zimmer when it was co-composed by 11 other people

[@lrgamer1224]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell.... He was the best part of the Movie

[@ananthavarshith6922]

I think Hans Zimmer scored most of the Spidey/Peter and Gwen part. Where as the Magnificent six scored Electro. Other musicians either had their own songs (Pharell Williams) or played for the score (Johnny Marr)

[@Mr.ditkovich06]

When you’re thinking about making a movie and you want something powerful in there that it’s in your mind but you can’t express it cause it’s really hard to explain, Hans Zimmer is the man who does it for you playing it like if the music was talking everything you have thought in your head but better and there’s no mistakes in there, it’s just everything you wanted to hear even if u didn’t have any idea of what u wanted to hear, his music makes you feel like that’s everything you wanted to hear even if u never knew u had that hidden feeling, it comes out just like that. There’s this meme that says: The Guy who says the joke… and the guy who says the joke but louder. And with that, I use it as an example of a director and a music composer. The director is the guy who says the joke and the music composer is the guy who says the joke but louder. The director has a thought that can’t express it with words but Hans Zimmer knows what you’re thinking and reveals everything you want but better with just a simply piece of melody. Hans Zimmer is the guy who says the joke but louder.

[@AJB9806]

“Is She With You?” is one of my favorite movie scores of all time. So badass.

[@chopsuey--]

People often overlook the scores from the last samurai. They're my favourite of all the hans Zimmer compositions.

[@Bluehood77]

They are incredible

[@benjaminsilliman8]

The Last Samurai soundtrack was beautiful.

[@BenjaminBashid]

Couldn't agree more.

[@nihleigleca6702]

Same!!!!!

[@thomascatty379]

627283 8383 abso-fucking-lutely what an amazing score

[@DarkCyberElf]

Always surprising for me to see Hans Zimmer's REAL best animated film score (The Prince of Egypt) go without a mention.

[@net_lag]

WHY SO SERIOUSLY LOW views???

[@KatieRuby]

I think his work on the BBC's Planet Earth and Blue Planet are really underrated. Those scores send chills.

[@mr.deadpool2174]

"Time" is the greatest soundtrack I've ever heard in my entire life.

[@DC-zi6se]

Lion King, TDK trilogy, Man of Steel, Interstellar, Inception, even Dunkirk. Hanz Zimmer is a boss.

[@Dexter-ke4xc]

one of the greatest music composer ever.

[@martiezboy]

This man honestly makes a soundtrack so much more. Movies are literally not experienced in the same way. Certain emotions cannot be conveyed and emphasized without his touch. He's a true master of music

[@jwnj9716]

The only problem with Zimmer's score is that so many other composers try to sound like him these day. At least back in the day you had Carpenter, Goldsmith, Danny Elfman etc.

[@rhythmoriented]

Jw Nj great point. However, the likes of Trent Reznor (The Social Network, Gone Girl) and Cliff Martinez (including Drive, The Neon Demon) have taken electronic scores in different directions fortunately.

[@jwnj9716]

Yeah, I mean Danny Elfman has a weakness even he admitted in the Frighteners documentary, so many of his soundtracks sound the same, you cant tell at times from which movie it is. Even Alan Silvestri's Judgment Night at times sounds like Predator 2. We have guys like Harry Gregson-Williams, Daniel Licht and off course Akira Yamaoka. Plus the legend Bernard Herrmann, so great that even in Star Wars they used a small part of Psycho.

[@eggsybenedict7014]

There are also a lot of composers who don't imitate Zimmer. It's just that most of their works are forgettable. Remember the soundtrack of The Shape of Water by Alexandre Desplat? I don't either, but it won this year's Oscar (over Phantom Thread and Dunkirk, which I still find hard to believe).

[@rhythmoriented]

Eggsy Benedict good point, but wrong example. The scores to Up, Finding Neverland, Atonement, Babel and others (all good films) were forgettable. The Shape of Water was a brilliantly composed work, which created (musically) a fluid feel that characterized water itself, made use of flute to embody lead character Eliza, employed Desplat’s only whistling, and accentuated the aesthetic beauty of the film without stepping on it. It was even used in tandem with a Cirque du Solei performance for the stunning opening to this year’s BAFTA’s.

[@eggsybenedict7014]

rhythmoriented Something can be finely crafted and forgettable at the same time. At least it was forgettable for me; I remember nothing about the music after watching the film. One can argue about the functions of soundtracks and whether they are supposed to be noticed, but that's beside the point.

[@tkmj45]

interstellar is my soul melting music i ever heard.

[@vannyddd]

So nobody is gonna talk about the Man Of Steel soundtrack

[@moistspuds845]

YES!! In my opinion, it's one of the best soundtracks

[@ameya88]

Yes brother which is your favorite mine is earth and original sketchbook

[@aswinsreesh1068]

[@drewcollier1138]

Maybe the video was rushed.

[@sheikhshakib55]

[@curtateprime]

My favorite Soundtrack of his is "The End Credits- Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice" /or/ " From 5:44 to 7:51 in Man of Steel Hans Original Sketchbook"

[@jxy_krishnan]

Mine would be from BvS. The tracks, "Men are still good", "Black and Blue" and "Their War Here". And ofcourse let's not forget WW's theme "Is she with you". His scores for Interstellar and TDK Trilogy are also epic! He is literally a legend. Can't wait for WW84.

[@calvinnigh5489]

Kudos on appreciating one of the 21st Century’s two greatest film score composers. Hopefully Fandor (and, of course, The Academy) will soon honor the great Thomas Newman.

[@جعفرِ-ه4ي]

These videos are so satisfying to watch. I feel so wise. I am a new man

[@frogheart8440]

He can make me sit at the edge of my sit during the most boring scenes, he can free my emotions and his scores take my mind from daily life and remind me that there is something bigger and greater. He is the greatest for me, cause even if some of his soundtracks tend to sound familiar, they always make the movie 100% better and more recognizable. By that I don’t mean his scores don’t wary. Zimmer can make the most unique pieces but also so familiar and like home because you can hear his ideas and soul in them

[@RohannvanRensburg]

"He isn’t really interested in making us feel something, rather, he’s more concerned with opening a new world and allowing us to enter it through his music. Instead of offering emotional cues, Zimmer’s music conveys subtext, things that a filmmaker can’t communicate visually. This allows us to establish our own emotional experience of the movie" If you study the work of Romantic and prolific Hollywood composers, their desire isn't to plod along and simply deliver emotions that are showing up on screen. What they tend to be able to do far better is actually tell a story with the music that can be understood without listening to the film, and this is the antithesis of modern film scoring. One eventually gets tired of four chords and sound design that characterizes modern blockbusters, in favour of longer form.

[@praveenkaywilliam4930]

[@ForwardPixels]

Hans Zimmer is not the only who writes music. Let's not forget the team of very talented composers who work for him. Just go to his website and view the team page. This video makes it seem like he's one-man army who writes every single note.

[@drewcollier1138]

R e m o t e C o n t r o l P r o d u c t i o n s

[@drewcollier1138]

Yes, but the video does not admit that he has a team.

[@drewcollier1138]

I am assuming that the video creator is not aware of the extent of Zimmer's collaborations. I'm not diminishing Zimmer's work.

[@ForwardPixels]

From Wikipedia. Numerous film music critics have accused Zimmer and his studio of being responsible for a supposed degradation in mainstream film score production. Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks frequently criticizes Zimmer's constant use of ghostwriters and writing music using a "lowest common denominator" approach. James Southall of Movie-Wave commented, "Zimmer’s way of writing scores goes pretty much like this - he comes up with some “ideas” at an early stage, these ideas are then turned into a suite of music (sometimes with the assistance of Lorne Balfe), and when the actual scoring begins, the film is split into chunks and each chunk gets allocated to a team at Remote Control, who take music from the suite and apply it to their scenes

[@Ben10man2]

Zimmer is king

[@Unshoshable]

Bare Island, specially written for Mission: Impossible-2. You may not like this questionable movie, but i bet you will agree that Zimmer made his part on it as good as for the others. The composition starts to play a couple of minutes before that one special reveal-moment happens, and when it "collides face to face" with that scene itself - fits it brilliantly. It may be not the best reveal scene in cinematography, but Zimmer turns it to be the most rememorable by every second of this track. P.S. And about Zimmer himself: i can clearly see, that this man is someone tangibly superior than just usuall professionals of music-writining. It's good to have such people on the planet.
