War of the Worlds -Soundtrack- [2 of 7]

[silverbulletgirl29]

Even so, with the lack of oxygen out there, they'd have to a least breath nitrogen or something to survive. All living things Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and water.

[silverbulletgirl29]

Had there actually been aliens, in my opinion, they would've been scared to death of us and a bit curious. They would die like a little hummingbird if we touched them and catch our diseases, etc. Sunlight would probably kill them too. But that just proves that there's no such thing as aliens, unless they proved that thing on the moon from Apollo18 was real. There is water on the moon, so who knows, but I have my doubts. We can't travel very far in space, anyhow, so why could they?

[silverbulletgirl29]

Rumor has it that there aren't really aliens out there but there ARE angels and some people have claimed to have seen them though know one really knows what they look like. They did find out about the crop circles were made by a group from people who like art and graffiti type stuff, a group from the UK I heard. As for the flying saucers, the military channel said they were spy planes during WWII one-man piloted & they didn't use them much. I saw one on tv. It was round like a UFO.

[silverbulletgirl29]

Scariest damn alient movie ever next to Alien, The Blob (1988), The Thing, and Signs. Makes sense if they were evil aliens out there that they'd kill us in this manner by machines or poison.  Tonight on TNT is War of the World this one and on SYFY is Signs. Be watching.

[i1like1cats]

[SuperMrBentley]

Tom Cruise was bad in this movie, also the fight over the hill was cheap, i would like to see the story from the eyes of a soldier or journalist.

[Jahoobano]

0:36 This is a brilliant piece of music but it's so much more effective in the movie when mixed in with the sound effects of the tripod rising.

[vierungogpissed]

The music and pics fit perfectly! You could'nt perfect this, it's already too good

[JesseRex1]

the music is what makes this movie so frightening, dark, and real. I love this soundtrack! it is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time! this film is also my third favorite movie of all time! the acting is very realistic and that draws you into the world of the film. it almost feels like it is actually happening.

[saal]

this soundtrack is amazing I like very much

[JamesTosches12345]

Thank You Lyrand for this great soundtrack series of videos. The pictures you scavenged of the internet and match at the right time with the music! Thanks Alot Man! :D ~James

[HoldingMyLastRook]

The most frightening thing about this movie is thinking what if you and your family were there.

[futurama2506]

Reminds you of Jaws, doesn't it?

[mushmario]

bzzt

epic music alert

[Dann29995]

Love john williams, but don't even like classic music xD

[greenmachine13]

The music beat around 0:38 sounds similar to one on the Indy 4 soundtrack.

[SJ363]

at around 2:04 to 2:13 it sounds slightly like John William's previous score, Jaws

[brent8692]

very good. 10/10!

[intoxicologist]

the reason this film does not work is that the ending is of its time. in hg wells time, things like bacteria and viruses were not well understood so his ending was like wow, i never thought of that. so when spielberg updates it he has to update the ending , but he doesnt , how lame is that. i would love to have the money to make the right remake but of course my name is not spielberg. so much potential......

[DomWeasel]

The whole reason Wells used bacteria was to show the British Empire (My people) that for all their power, they were helpless against the Martians greater power and the Martians themselves helpless at the greatest killer in all the world. Spielberg's problem is having the voiceover saying God put those bacteria and viruses there. That makes it crap. Wells had those bacteria kill the aliens to show that for all their technology and high evolution, the simplest organism still ruled supreme.

[intoxicologist]

i agree .hg wells said in his own words.. "and before we judge them [the Martians] too harshly, we must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as the vanished Bison and the Dodo, but upon its own inferior races." "Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?" seems to me he was disgusted at colonialism.

[DomWeasel]

Apparently he wrote after it came to light that the Empire had wiped out either an African or Austrialian population, I cannot remember which. I'm not sure about his views on colonialism though.

[intoxicologist]

the quote comes from the book itself.

[99rhetbaboons]

Excellent post. It's a mistake to feel sorry for humanity, because if they were in the Martians positions, they'd be doing the same thing. We see this all the time. People weren't mad because 9/11 happened. They were mad because it happened TO THEM. People aren't upset because they're exploited, they're upset because they want to be the ones exploiting someone else. H.G. was seeing people as they are; something very few of us are willing to do.

[ProtoColFZ]

@DomWeasel i agree.

[intoxicologist]

basically the film sucks but the score is great. the film is awful after the first 50 minutes because spielberg cant do anything except special effects. he just got lucky with star wars as the script was childishly simple. he used 9 11 visuals when the clothing was falling as dust and the walls of pics which are just politically subservient. his point was modern and relevant. however the death of the aliens should be both modern and relevant but of course spielberg is just a useless copycat.

[HarperGT88]

I love the "Ray and Rachel" piece. Very beautiful, yet sad.

[rosko101]

HOLY SHIT

[creamycurdy]

i think the aim of the latest wotw was to give a sliighty more realist approach to what the storys where telling although i agree the films dont live up to the originals but the exstermination scenes are excellent in the film shame tom cruise was in it cld have been better with someone else imo

[omega4ever]

If were here to discuss War of the Worlds stuff, then here's my opinion on the 2005 version: It doesn't live up to the original movie, I mean plot-wise and characters.

[queggy1]

absolutely right, videowilliams!

[intoxicologist]

wrong....... the best composer directer in the world would have been hg wells and john williams as he wrote the story. spielberg is no genius.

[iadoremanga]

I agree they are good but Spielberg is one of the greatest directors of all time - massive sucess. Although i still prefere Tim Burton

[99rhetbaboons]

Comedy gold.

[99rhetbaboons]

He was in the 70s. I don't know how to explain what happened after. Maybe, like GL, it wasn't his work, at the core. Look at, "Young Frankenstein" or "Blazing Saddles". All the funny parts were written by Richard Pryor or Gene Wilder. The kinda neutral bits you sit through waiting for the funny parts were written by Mel Brooks. I've seen stuff done exclusively by Brooks, and he's an over rated schlub who knows how to hire good people and somehow get credit for the product. There's a lot of that

[videowilliams]

Jurassic Park (1993) was the first John Williams score that dovetailed so beautifully with Spielberg's pictures that I didn't even notice it on first viewing. This is another. It bypasses conscious awareness, heading straight to the emotional brain.

When those two artisans are firing on all cylinders, there's no better composer-director team in the world.

[intoxicologist]

its a great score but it has dovetailed for the wrong script. spielbergs film does not come close to how good this score is. spielberg did not make the film dark enough and he also did not make it in two parts which, without doubt, it deserved. he also decided that it should be set in america in modern times for reasons only he knows. however i can see no reason for this in his film that improved the story. he should have let the story tell itself but of course he is not as good as h.g. wells

[videowilliams]

Spielberg's version of "War of the Worlds" was designed to evoke that "9/11 feeling" of apocalyptic fear and helplessness (which is why it's full of 9/11 imagery), just as the Orson Welles radio version of 1938 cashed in on the fear of invasion from Europe. That's why Spielberg felt the time was right to retell this story in a modern setting. I thought the idea was bold and brilliantly achieved... but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

[DomWeasel]

Hear, hear

[DChatc]

I agree with videowilliams below about the post-9/11 relevancy... But I do agree with you also that Spielberg is just NOT the right type of director for this sort of story, which deals with evolution and what Freud termed the "death instinct".

Here Spielberg (and I suspect to a massive extent $cientologist Tom Cruise) wants to have a story about the resillience of the 'human spirit' (thus the sentimental ending were everything is good again).

[DChatc]

That is not to say that I disbelieve in that which is 'human' (which Wells did not), nor that such an idea could'nt have worked in this story (as sort of a rebuttal), just that instead of handling the issue (civilization v instinct) in an adult manner, Spielberg just throws schmaltz at us.

Ridley Scott or James Cameron would have been better picks for this sort of thing as such was tackled in both the Alien and the Terminator series'.

[ericberner]

-ordinary people in extraordinary situations is Speilbergs baby- this perfectly sums that up imo- great movie.
