Film Music Similarities
Loading...
Uploaded by JoeSnyderwalk on Aug 4, 2009
Some examples of similarities between music for films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, King Arthur, Batman Begins, Gladiator and Transformers. Yes, a lot of Hans Zimmer in there because I like Hans Zimmer, okay? :)
I know there are a lot more examples of this kind of stuff - especially in James Horner music - but I just did what I know best, and I hope you enjoy it anyhow.

@jazz4 they still fit the films well.

And don't forget about the ost of Apocalypto and Avatar. They have many common notes.

Despite all these similarities I can still tell the difference between almost all of these (for the movies I know) and accurately name which song comes from which (and for some, where in the movie). So even if they're similar, they're different enough for me. In general the quality of the music is found in the layers of the song.
About chord progressions, there's only a few that sound decent so similarities are almost always found in songs in the same key (assuming they're both orchestral)

@JoeSnyderwalk Not to mention Inception, one of the best film scores of all time.

@jazz4 You basically just said that because his work doesn't inspire YOU, you assume that he's ONLY hired because he works quickly. He can't POSSIBLY inspire anyone else. Your opinion trumps all, right? Wrong. He is one of the most talented composers in history. He may not inspire you, but he's hired because he inspires others. Lots of others.

@JoeSnyderwalk I agree. It's also good to remember that before Steve Jablonsky worked for Hans, he was writing that light music for Desperate Housewives. Now listen to him; he's totally Zimmerfied.

@JoeSnyderwalk There's another hint for you!

The whole point of a music score in a movie is to set the mood and provide sound when there isn't any dialogue. So, to set a mood, you use chord progressions. It's really no shock that there are similarities, because they are trying to set the same mood. And natural chord progression sounds better than odd ones. :shrug: My own two cents.

Hans Zimmer is fantastically overrated. He get's a lot of work because he works so quickly. He has a team of people dicking around on computers all day. He's basically an overpaid sound designer these days. Can't say any of his film scores inspire me.
