Just watched Transformers Trilogy marathon yesterday at Marina Square alone. I have to say marathon-ing movies are fun! I mean, just leave the brains at home and go watch non-stop action for the whole freaking day, with only 20minutes break in between. Free flow of popcorn (which is kinda wasted on me) and soft drinks! Transformers 3 is good – as usual, leave your brains at home. :D
Re-watching Transformers 1 kinda re-ignited my love for it’s OST. Not the one by various artists, but The Score, by Steve Jablonsky.
This is one of the most epic music in Transformers 1… just listening to this can bring tears to my eyes. Don’t ask me why, seriously… I have no idea. It’s just so grand, so heart warming, yet heart tugging at the same time… I really don’t know how to describe the feeling… Damn, Steve Jablonsky can be such a genius sometimes. Other epic tracks include “Arrival to Earth” (posted below), “No Sacrifice, No Victory”, etc. I’ll leave it to you to discover on your own. :)
I really don’t understand how can people watched the movie and not remember the music in the background? It makes up the entire mood of the scene, or the movie. It can make or break the entire movie, you know. That’s how important film music is. It’s not just about effects or that techno/metal song at the end of the movie that shows up in the typical “Various Artists” soundtracks. It’s the music that’s being used throughout the movie that tugs your heart strings, that makes you feel for the characters and what they are going through (robots, or not).
Sigh… it’s so hard to find people who can appreciate film/trailer music for what they are…
Well on the side note… The Hong Kong trip that I’ve planned in November most likely is gonna happen, yay! Lots of planning to do! =D
