At first this song almost breaks into the main Batman theme but then you can here where the music kind of twists away from that. It's cuz' it's the "Why so serious, song."
For cuss sake, why do people want thumbs up on youtube? Does it make you feel better if some random man/woman gives you thumbs up 10000 miles from you? I'll never understand this. From the looks of some of the comments, it seems like youtube is filled with low self-esteem. Get a grip on yourselves and enjoy good videos. God knows we might not have them soon.
@yourmaker74 I'm not seeking any kind of attention, could care less about thumbs up. I'm just pointing out the obvious. I wish the whole comment rating system was revoked.
@MiracleFruitClock Can I see more than 3 videos without scrolling down and seeing one of these "fuck you idiot/asshole/faggot" or "you're a dumbass/retard" comments? For fuck's sake, let's have some peace.
Me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and he says WHY SO SERIOUS!?!? He comes at me with the knife, WHHHHYYYY SSSSOOO SERIOUSSSSS!?!?!?... he sticks the blade in my mouth, LET'S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE! aaaaaaaaaaaaannndddd... why so serious?
Played this while I was reading North and South (there's a chapter called The Dark Night which reminded me of this) and it became much more interesting, though I kept expecting something to explode at any moment.
Penderecki is a classical musician who wrote "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima". His 10 minute long piece composed in 1960 was the first to use the revolutionary technique of using the other side of the bow to create a screeching noise with the violin, in order to recreate the sounds of people screaming. Interesting to see that Hans Zimmer has now brought this avant-garde idea into pop-culture...
"I don't know what that noise is, and I purposely avoided finding out. I like to think that it's Satan playing a vuvuzela in hell." - TheAmazingAtheist, on the first minute of this track.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry i tried many times to listen to Zimmer and i don't like his stuff! He's not a genious , for me he works with a computer , who make easier to compose an orchestra! I just know a bit of music theory , but i want to learn it for composing for movie! Hans Zimmer don't have a big culture ,about Classical Music and that makes me angry! Cause even if there''s some songs from classical composers i don't like , how can he dislike everything's in classic? Him a genious? He's for me a bad pianist!
@Rockyourassed The characters and movies require him to compose music that portrays them through their most characteristic behaviour; like the Joker and the twisted, quick-paced music. Also, he does a good job on his works, for before composing a piece, he dwells into the theme. With Inception, he bought and read a lot of books about the mind and personalities, with The Last Samurai he even brought his piece to Japan for feedback, because he thought it wasn't good enough. They were amazed.
@Rockyourassed He was nominated 9 times for an oscar and 7 times for a Grammy. Of course it''s easier to make it with a computer, but he has the right song for every type of movies.
Hell of a song to start a movie off with. i just remember those clowns all doing their respective jobs during the bank robbery as this music played in the background.
Wikipedia on Hans Zimmer: "Throughout the piece, Zimmer used razor blades on string instruments to achieve the tortured, twisted sound to accompany the character on the screen."
@molnarsz94 On Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest he recorded the orchestra trough the guitar amp to get so massive sound... genius like you said.
Want to know how I got these comments? My father was a gamer and a commenter. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets a youtube comment to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not one bit. So, me watching, he takes the comment to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and he says: 'Why so serious?' He comes at me with the comment - 'Why so serious?!' He sticks the comment on my profile. 'Let's put a smile on that PROFILE!' And...why so serious?
Joker's actor were so good! He deserved the oscar...
