Was Hans Zimmer's score for The Dark Knight inspired by music from 1983? Listen and decide for yourself.

  • So where can you get the soundtrack to Edith et Marcel?

  • @FXwakeboard I got this track off a compilation of Lai's work - I believe it was an import because all the writing on it is in French.

  • Not a big deal. Temp track love more than likely. Happens all the time in major and minor movies. Most likely Nolan temped the movie with that track, loved the sound, and told Zimmer to get close to it.

  • ZImmer loves the French Music, thats why he had some french themes in Inception. Im sure he listens to a buttload of music, it would make sense that some things sound similar. He probably has a billion of tunes in his head, some are his some may be from older music.

  • you have a very good ear!

  • @mikewp1 This. Happens much more than people realize. Filmmakers frequently fall in love with temp tracks, often to the chagrin of creative composers.

  • @FXwakeboard search it, it's the first link, Gay youtube won't let me post the link for it.

  • Another songception o_o

  • He should've have called the piece "pourquoi si sérieux?"

  • @FXwakeboard /watch?v=e_JLgAB6dPw

  • If people want to call someone a ripoff artist, look no further than John Williams. This, however, is far from it.

  • when musicians enjoy a piece of music and feel like it wasn't done enough justice or whatever (they feel they could do better with something within a song) they take it and expand or elaborate on it.

    whether this is the case or not, It's not like he copied a whole song or something

  • haha the end made me lol

  • @somejackball ...the opening theme that is
