There are many classic movie scores out there that have stood the test of time, and are able to elicit bravado, emotional sensations. STAR WARS, INDIANA JONES, HARRY POTTER, BACK TO THE FUTURE, and more feature compositions that make up the music of our imagination. But where is that music in modern movies? Sure, movies like THE SOCIAL NETWORK and even GRAVITY have tremendous scores, but are they legendary? Do they trigger a sense of wonder? The folks at Every Frame a Painting don’t think so, and they know why. Exploring the modern world of movie composition, the video examines why film scores, particularly in the Marvel Universe, don’t stand out. The issue is not simply because John Williams is too busy to score everything, but it's an issue that seeps into any major movie, even critically acclaimed ones like MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. The video is great as an informational guide into the world of film scores, and why there aren’t many memorable ones being used today. Enjoy!
