Such a shock to hear this in The Artist but absolutely right. In Vertigo he was changing her into his ideal love and in The Artist she was changing him from a silent star to talkies. All because of love. And the music, straight from Tristan and Isolde, holds on to that dissonance so long, mirroring Hitchcock's use of suspense, that when we find resolution, who here wasn't in floods of tears? Brilliant.
I was pleased to hear this in The Artists -- it didn't take me out of the scene, it elevated it for me. Although I will say that the use of Hermann's music was the only thing I remember from the soundtrack, so The Artist winning best Soundtrack is kind of ridiculous. The best soundtrack with all original music last year was Drive.
Todd McCarthy puts it perfectly: "Hazanavicius and Bource daringly choose to explicitly employ Bernard Herrmann’s love theme from Vertigo, which is dramatically effective in its own right but is so well known that it yanks you out of one film and places you in the mind-set of another."
I'm not mad that 'The Artist' used the 'Vertigo' music, (which I instantly recognized), I'm more mad that The Academy found it okay enough to nominate it for a Best Original Score Oscar. 'There Will Be Blood' was disqualified because its composer just used melodies from his own prior works. Here they are saying there was enough original music to still qualify despite a complete lift from Herrmann in a crucial scene.
@kellek1974 The reason it could still be nominated was because the Bernard Herrmann lift was only featured in the film and not in the soundtrack. It's like The Social Network. A song from The White Stripes was in it, but the actual soundtrack CD didn't have the song on its track list. It's not about what music is on the film, but instead what is on the soundtrack CD.
I always love to hear this song, and I don't think the makers of The Artist were libelous in using it for their climactic sequence, but to me, it just reiterates how much of that film is borrowed from greater works. The Artist is a lovely crowd-pleaser with beautiful performances, but it is no masterpiece, indeed.
The director of The Artist has used music from Vertigo before in his other films, and he said he asked for permission to use this piece, as he did the other times he's borrowed cues from Vertigo, and paid for it. The Artist is a beautiful homage, not just to silent films (The Gold Rush, The Mark Of Zorro, etc), but also to sound films (Singin' In The Rain, Citizen Kane, Sunset Boulevard, etc). The Artist is a visual and musical triumph. A sumptuous feast for the eyes, ears and heart.
no idea y there's such a controversy about using this song in the artist. It fit into the movie perfectly and, at least i feel, payed homage to vertigo instead of ripping it off
@sonicjrjr14 YES—plus, in the heritage of silent films, there was often great flexibility with music, and what was played accompanying the films. Often there were original scores, but just as often, classical works were borrowed. I was surprised, but ultimately delighted by the use of this piece in The Artist, which was a beautiful homage to so many things.
I found it rather immature what Novak said about "Shame on The Artist for using this song." I like her as an actor, but she should accept that many films use songs from other movies.
@scoobadooshed Hazanavicius loves Bernard Hermann, and the music is perfect for the love and anxiety at that point in The Artist. Also, silent movies often borrowed well-known themes and motifs from symphonies, songs and other music, and used them where they were appropriate, so this kind of "borrowing" is within the silent tradition.
I'm a huge fan of Vertigo, and now I'm a huge fan of The Artist. If they filmed a bagel commercial that used this song, I'd be a huge fan of that bagel commercial.
@scoobadooshed They probably were using it as a temp track during post-production and felt it worked perfectly. I thought it was extremely fitting. Or maybe the director always had this in mind.
@scoobadooshed Because it worked, it was beautiful. Also, I read an article that the director really loves Hitchcock and Bernard Hermann. So I guess it was his little homage to them
@scoobadooshed Just to upset Kim Novak whose artistic integrety has been in her words RAPED , she was the blonde in vertigo. We love this piece and it's great to hear it in a new century all over again.
I recently mentioned Ella Fitzgerald to a woman at my work who is 35 years old and she didn't know who she is. If someone who is 35 doesn't know who Ella Fitzgerald is, how would she know who Bernard Herrmann is? I'm generalizing, but I find many younger people in their 20's and 30's quite ignorant of artists they should be aware of. It's scary to me.
@TheJazsinger I agree, its frightening and sad. But - thanks to Youtube and the internet, maybe we can forward some of these treasures to everyone under 40 that we know!
@goodfellaOS Good Ear!! I LOVE Bernard Herrmann. He is one of my favorite composers....he composed so many of Alfred Hitchcock's movies. Listen to the theme from "Marnie"........it's one of my favorites.
@goodfellaOS I just saw "The Artist." I recognized this ballad immediately. I was touched by the respect shown for it, and then moved to tears by the end.
@videoclog Interesting you say that, when I heard this for the first time, Tristan and Isolde was the first piece of music that came to mind. There are definitely similarities. Love them both
Heard this performed live by NY Philharmonic with John Williams conducting. Without even knowing of its context within Vertigo, this number sent chills down my spine. Great job BH for capturing my mind and injecting it with unfound pathos...so poignant.
Beautiful! Just beautiful... i love the bit where Kim Novak comes back into the room to face James Stewart with her blonde hair pulled back again!! One of my favourite films of all time!
Even a control freak like Hitchcock deeply trusted in Herrman's ability to score his movies, and thus alter his movie's appeal.. Says a lot about the man's talents.
No doubt its Tristan influenced, but its an awesome piece of music. Performed it two weeks ago, and knowing the film it elevates the characters to mythical level, Richard W would have loved it!
As a film music lover,and after reading some comments below I think we must separate between film music IN the film and STAND ALONE film music.I think Herrmann is one of the best with the music in the films but there are a lot of others composers wich compose a very melodic music that is more suitable and easy listening as a concert music (Korngold,Waxman,Rozsa...williams,Goldsmith,doyle..)of course this marvelous Love Theme is an exception and there are more,,but I hope you know what I mean
Bernard Herrmann is so underrated... it's frustrating :(
he could do anything... jazzy sounds in Taxi Driver and then these beautiful classical tunes... and extra frightening sounds in Psycho.
and always accompanied with this eerie undertone that I love. he's on the same level as Debussy, Ravel and Satie for me ... really wish more people would recognize his brilliance.
@adrianlindsaylohan do you not understand what underrated means? it means he's not recognized for how amazing he is ... more people should know .. has everyone you know heard of him? cause I hardly run into people who know who the hell he is.
@faintmelody at least 38,506 people know him. Unless you're talking to people who are studying film, film scholars, or a major film fan, I doubt you can go up to a random person in the streets and expect them to know him and keep track of composers' names. Especially one that died 36 years ago. Face it, lots of people don't watch old movies anymore, so you can't expect them to know the composer. When I said he's so famous, I meant he was famous within the film making world
@adrianlindsaylohan so are you saying that because he's not recognized outside the film industry, we shouldn't try to spread his music more? I'm 22, have nothing to do with film, but I love old movies, esp. Chaplin + Hitchcock .. when I introduce friends to him or the likes, they love it. If people heard it, they would recognize it. why are Beethoven + Mozart recognized by everyone? they've been dead for longer.. probably 500 yrs from now they'll be like "oh shit time to worship Herrmann"
@faintmelody I didn't say we shouldn't spread his music, you are twisting my words to make new points. Yes you are 22 and have nothing to do with film, but you love old movies, and that's the difference between you and the lots of the younger people these days. Don't ask me why everyone don't know him. It's true he is talented and should be recognized. Most of my friends don't like old movies, so I have no intention to thrust contents at them, if you want to spread him, you go ahead.
I just googled his name and got 756,000 hits, 35 years after his death. Also, lots of people who don't know him by name know the music of Psycho. I know it's frustrating to his fans that not everyone knows and plays his music but really, he has much more recognition than most film composers, especially those long gone.
@4Topwood@adrianlindsaylohan hmmm ... it seems like my initial comment caused a lot of unnecessary discussion .. I was really just trying to express my admiration for him and point out how I wish more people around me knew him, nothing more and less. I'm glad you feel that he gets enough recognition ... have a wonderful day.
No, no, no! I don't feel Herrmann gets enough recognition, I just think he gets more than you think he does. It's finally stopped raining here, the sun is shining and I'm listening to this glorious music so yes, so far, I'm having a wonderful day. Thanks for your good wishes!
my problems with the movie is that the parts where scott goes following her is stretched too long, and i was left confused for quite some time but the movie became very facinating once it started to unfold. in the end i loved it. and that james stuwart looks too old for her. but facinating movie and amazing score
This song has the sort of mysterious value that other, modern songs don't have. It's such a brilliant score that lets us all feel a sense of question and curiosity inside. Alfred Hitchcock, you are a genious director and human being.
We're doing this song in marching band. When we go to our second dot, we're supposed to wave our arms around frantically whilst spinning around and frantically twitching. Fun as hell.
@podTWM - What a nice 'curveball' you served up with your marching band comments - great! -- I have to commend all the other commenters here - very informative analyses of Hermann's source - all you other guys are way more knowing than me - I appreciate the insights you share!
KevininSan - He like the english composer Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughn Williams, Charles ives, Prokofiev and Ravel...these composers i have heard many times associated with Herrmann's influences.
@MrGsegs Yeah, I saved that video in my playlist and I wanted to watch it again, only to realise it's been removed... Damn. Anyway, this is just great music... Moves the heart.
If anyone has info on who Hermann took as inspiration or mentors for his music, I'd lke to know. I hear a lot of Gustave Mahler in Scene d'amour... a bit of Wagner as well...
Wait, did they simply re-use this song on the Artist? Please tell me...
