    Criminally underrated movie. They simply do make movies like they did in the 90's anymore. This one, Congo, the Edge, Twister, Days of Thunder, Last of the Mohicans, Cliffhanger, Stargate, Mask of Zorro, the Shadow, the Phantom, all excellent popcorn entertainment.

    I wish Jerry Goldsmith is still alive to score Black Panther. Goldsmith is the king of African-influenced scores; The Ghost and the Darkness, Congo, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, King Solomon's Mines, The Wind and The Lion, even The Mummy (1999).

    • @solaariz
      @solaariz 4 года назад +4

      I do wish Goldsmith was still alive and he has done incredible African influenced scores, but I have to disagree about the Black Panther score. Ludwig Göransson's oscar-winning score for Black Panther (and by extention Creed) was fantastic IMO, and I think he's quite a gifted composer. In fact, he traveled around the villages of West and South Africa with local musicians for months in preparation for composing Black Panther. I don't know if an 88-year-old Goldsmith would have had the stamina to compose as great a score as Göransson did for that film. Most of the MCU movies have totally forgettable scores but that one stands out as one of the better scores in recent years.

    • @jandreidrn
      @jandreidrn 4 года назад

      @@solaariz well let's just say a 74-year old Goldsmith battling and ravaged with cancer and still had the energy to score Looney Tunes: Back in Action; a score that could rival any of John Powell's adrenaline-pumping animated scores.
      As to Black Panther, while Ludwig is certainly one of the more talented composers to come up this generation (and I have nothing against him) but there's a certain gravitas as well as the action scoring that only Goldsmith can deliver. It would have elevated BP greatly IMO.

    • @solaariz
      @solaariz 4 года назад +1

      @@jandreidrn I see what you mean, and I do believe Goldsmith at any age could beat modern composers at their best, same with John Williams. These composers could benefit from a masterclass in scoring from Goldsmith! Still, I wouldn't want Goldsmith to score movies that already have great scores, for instance, I wouldn't suggest he score The Lion King instead of Zimmer or Out of Africa instead of John Barry you know? It would have been interested to see what he'd have done with Black Panther though, the thought alone is enticing. One could simply edit out the Ludwig BP score and replace it with one of Goldsmiths' best to get an idea I guess. Still, all the movie scores you mentioned of Goldsmith (The Ghost and the Darkness, Congo, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, King Solomon's Mines, The Wind and The Lion, even The Mummy) all fantastic, he is the king of African influenced scores as you mentioned! Also the king of elevating a poor film with his gravitas! Cheers!

      @@solaariz a pity Goldsmith's name was never elevated into the status enjoyed by John Williams or Hans Zimmer. He's certainly the best of both composers: able to go toe-to-toe with Williams orchestrally while at the same time inventive enough to use electronics like Zimmer. To me Goldsmith and the recently departed Ennio Morricone stands alone in the pantheons of film composers in terms of originality, innovation and inventiveness.

    • @solaariz
      @solaariz 4 года назад +1

      @@jandreidrn Ugh don't get me started on modern Zimmer lol. I think his recent influence has been what changed the film score industry for the worse. Williams has admitted having great admiration for Goldsmiths' work. I'd throw Bernard Herrmann & Basil Poledouris names in the ring with Williams, Goldsmith and Morricone as well. The fact that Goldsmith was racking out 3 to10 quality film & tv scores a year consistently just blows my mind. I love how he has an equally brilliant answer for every John Williams masterpiece, ET vs Poltergiest, Jurrasic Park vs Congo, The Towering Inferno vs The Swarm, Star Wars: A New Hope vs Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Jaws vs Alien, Close Encounters vs Capricorn One, Superman vs Supergirl. The list is endless! I find myself listening to Goldsmith more than any other composer though, possibly due to the fact that many of these recordings were very hard to find prior to RUclips. Mainly though because they're just so darn fantastic!

The Field museum has some hard copy stuff for sale that I found of interest, but quite touristy - surprise, surprise.

    Thanks for the info. But I'm still surprised Goldman doesn't like it. I think it's such a grand story. I've loved it for a long time. And it's interesting to hear that the writer, perhaps the biggest fan of the original material of all, is not a fan of the finished product. Yes, he is attached and has a vision, but the movie is a beast of its own. It's not like Michael Douglass did a bad job with Remington AKA Redbeard's role.
