There Will Be Blood - Open Spaces, Jonny Greenwood

[StyrbjornStarke]

I like to think of myself as an oilman

[Npowell01]

You reward the movie and its soundtrack on your own by loving it.

No amount of gold smelted into the shape of a nude man can change your love for it.

So why care whether or not one was given out?

[apirana2010]

because they used convergence, which he wrote for bodysong, in the there will be blood score. which makes it not an original score. otherwise it would have won :) 

[alek276]

@apirana2010 yeah!

[denis169821]

Au diable les récompenses, les oscars, les titres, ces choses encombrantes, seule compte la musique et l'éternité qu'elle apporte !

[EdgarRossetti]

this is epic music

[Zeberdee691]

Very impressive and suiting music for the movie.

[YornMan]

Fuck the Oscars. Quality doesn't need to be rewarded, only remembered.

[trufiend138]

why do you care about oscars and shit..why not any other award then why is the oscar so goddamn special? does he needs a piece of metal for you to enjoy it?

[thehemuliman]

The First Daniel Day-Lewis movie I ever saw.. And I must say I saw his talent right away. I became his fan!

[mcgrawHNIC]

@thehemuliman If you didn't see them already, try seeing "My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown" from 1989 and "Eversmile, New Jersey" which was release in the same year. cheers

[zahropit]

sounds from heaven , not your heaven , our heaven

[Omnipads]

What is this beautiful music?? glad I found this vid by mistake!!

[Aridcreaturehere]

The minimalistic nature of this piece makes it touch your soul in such a way few compositions do in this century.

[License2Bill]

when I heard the first two notes I thought it was an Abominable Dr. Phibes cover

[barneylupoo]

beautiful song. this film is up there with the golden era masterpieces

[JDOCD123]

I love the music throughout the entire film. It fits perfectly.

[zebrahead32]

you cant beat the greenwood,so weird and wonderful,bloody brilliant bloke

[bassmanUSSR]

Which track opens the film? The one with that beautiful crescendo-ing drone?

[SingHouse]

@bassmanUSSR the other one

[sockrocker117]

when he's dragging himself out of the mine toward some faraway help, ooooooh man. that was raw musical power! they unearthed the balrog in them mines man.

[tzanetos]

hey dude!i see we're talking on the same language....

[SingHouse]

magnificent music, magnificent film.

[Razorrack125]

Beautifal. It has a great flow.

[okami7amaterasu]

I keep confusing this with "No Country for Old Men", which is also a great film, by the way.

[zygzusz]

magic

[degree7]

Whoah, Johnny Greenwood's the lead guitarist for Radiohead.

Had no idea he did the score for this film.

[HeyJaw]

It's crazy. He's the only one of them with an Oscar now.

[Ocelot006]

he didn't get an oscar. he didn't even get nominated which is such bullshit.

[HeyJaw]

Yeah - I don't know why when I wrote that I thought he did when I knew he was disqualified because not all the music on it was original. It was a tiny bit of something else that he used that disqualified him.

[TheOpinionater]

@Ocelot006 I know, he should've been. The problem was not that they didn't love it, or didn't want to nominate him, but it was ineligible due to it's use of existing material. 

[andyandcarl]

@Ocelot006 Are you talking about Daniel Day Lewis?

[USCFlash]

@Ocelot006

It is not really "bullshit". it was a brilliant score, that deserved a nomination, except it was outside the rules for consideration for best score, since it contained two songs, "Popcorn Superheat Receiver" & "Convergence", that Greenwood wrote for the 2003 film "Bodysong" soundtrack he did.

Academy rules state:

"scores diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music are not eligible for nomination"

just FYI...though i did love the score too :)

[libelle156]

@USCFlash Yeah you're right but if anything deserved it, this did

[USCFlash]

@libelle156

well, i agree to an extent, but "the rules is the rules", as they say.

You can be the fastest swimmer in the world, but if you have a bionic flipper instead of one foot, you cannot compete in the olympics :)

[libelle156]

@USCFlash well I guess he is unfairly talented :P

[USCFlash]

@libelle156

very possible :)

[jallstars]

@Ocelot006 those awards shows have nothing to do with art.

[83niteowl]

@Ocelot006

You can't count on the academy to know their heads from their asses.

This film was fantastic and the score was so much a part of that.

[pauldanofano1]

@Ocelot006 Youtube won't let me vote u up but I didnt know he wasn't nominated??? I actually cannot believe that

[PinkSwoonDust]

@Ocelot006 It IS bullshit, but I believe Greenwood's soundtrack was disqualified due to his choice of incorporating music by Brahms in it. According to the academy, a nominated soundtrack has to be "pure" - that is, all of it has to be the film composer's work alone. Greenwood included Brahms, and was thus not nominated.

But it is bullshit, I completely agree on that. There Will Be Blood had by far the best movie soundtrack in 2007. The academy sucks, plain and simple.

[BrownBearProduct]

Greatest song on the soundtrack

[tinaturntable]

This piece made me fall in love with this film!

[itsme280381]

Likewise.
