The music reflects so perfectly what the movie is about: these synthetic sounding voices in the beginning are representing the suffering of the inmates of the concentration camps, while the more lighter synths coming in later are mirroring the levity of the idyllic life of Höß and his family on the outside. Anyway, that'd be my interpretation
@@marionknapp1155 It's that very levity and the denial and the "knowing without seeing" of the horrors that were happening in the camp that made the movie so extremely powerful. Its strength is in the juxtaposition, the contrast and the absence (the power of suggestion). I was horrified the whole time, even during the most mundane of scenes. This movie is cinema at its purest.
Nothing beats The Caretaker's 'Everywhere at the End of Time', but yeah this soundtrack is haunting af. Couldn't have suited the movie better then it did.
The sounds of hell and heaven. The sounds of soothing uplifting sound contrasted with the sounds of the wailing victims whose voices will not be forgotten. Which sound will u listen to and what will stick with you the horror or the soothing?
Never realized how synonymous this shot is with the theme of darkness representing evil. Completely leaving the dark center out of focus, not addressing it. Basically what Rudolf was doing the whole movie until the very end.
"The vines will grow and cover it all" This idea is represented very well by the movement within this piece of music. The human voice at the beginning sounds disturbing, but these chants are gradually forced by the harmony (Höss Family) to be silenced, to be resignified in a way and then transformed into something that brings peace and comfort like the sounds of nature.
Silent Hill 2 literally gets discussed in university for its atmosphere and storytelling, If you are interested in good stories you should check it out. @JohnBaiger
@JohnBaiger So the only reason movies are superior is because they've been around longer? Movies are amazing and can be pieces of art. Video games aren't different in that regard.
There have been many horrific wars since 1945, but the urge to make this particular comparison to this particular war comes from a misunderstanding of the scale and extremity of the Holocaust that borders on revisionism and a desire to heap special condemnation and outrage on Jews. I wonder if there’s a word for that?
@gatotsu2501 I don't know if there's a word. But don't be double standards, and one rule above others, don't do to the others the same things that already happened to you. Resentment it's a powerful feeling, very dangerous.
It is 120 year old war over land, both sides committed different atrocities but take notice that --- under a music score of a poignant painful movie about the Holocaust --- you are comparing the SHOAH to the bombing of Gaza, baffled how you can compare years of Ghettos where millions of Jewish people starved to death, 6 million were sent to death in Gas Chambers, were worked to death or where they were literal skeletons, where Camp medics performed deadly experiments on women and children, where Roma and Sinti People were decimated exterminated, and where barely alive prisoners were made to walk in Death Marches to "spread" the dead among the kilometers of land from Poland to German labor camps? I agree "both" sides are guilty of different crimes against civilians but there is no justification of either bombings or decades of knife attacks on civilians, rock slung at people's heads, bombings at Israeli cafes or bus stops or buses, no moral justifying October 2024, no moral justification of the murder of Israeli Olympians in Germany. History is far more complex and not black and white as you push. And again, there is absolutely zero comparison to the Holocaust. Also, this false equivalence is a common narrative by outright Anti-Jewish antisemitic people on social media. The comparison is intellectually dishonest and tone-deaf. Calling for peace does not have to include a dismissal to unreachable mass killings like in Death Camps of Auschwitz or Sobibor or where hundreds of thousands were shot point blank over dug holes. Shameful comparison.
Nothing like experiencing this in a pitch black cinema

Sounds right to me 😢
Spot on
it seems apparently like a levity of idyllic life, but under the surface there was a lot of repression of truth within the family, a great film

I cannot stop thinking about this soundtrack. The most haunting piece of music, soft and eerie.
Nothing beats The Caretaker's 'Everywhere at the End of Time', but yeah this soundtrack is haunting af. Couldn't have suited the movie better then it did.
Here after the Oscars.
The Zone of Interest has won Best International Feature Film and Best Sound
The sounds of hell and heaven. The sounds of soothing uplifting sound contrasted with the sounds of the wailing victims whose voices will not be forgotten. Which sound will u listen to and what will stick with you the horror or the soothing?
For me the gradual deepening of the pitch sounds like a descent down the stairs of heaven, essentially falling towards hell
One shot summarizes the film- absolute darkness lying within a facade of aesthetic beauty.
I thought I was the only one that found that exact shot of the yellow flower so terrifying… Jonathan Glazer is a mastermind
formless and abyssal like a black hole
Thats how it is supposed to represent.
@@manbiterI do not comment but I have remembered this sentence for months and I love it so much
can we be best friends - ur everywhere even here 🤍 pls
The movie went to Cannes over a year ago and still no soundtrack release!
I wish her The Zone of Interest and Small Axe scores were available on Spotify. Mica Levi is an amazing composer.
I highly recommend the soundtrack for Under the Skin, which is another Levi/Glazer collaboration
One of the best. I hope Levi continues to compose for a while
Watching this film in the cinema was such a roller coaster.
I wonder if we will even get the soundtrack with all of the unused music in the film.
A24 has to know people want the score since they keep taking down videos of the score that have been posted.
Good question.
I wonder the same thing

Intro is amazing but the music at the end killed me. Couldnt move from chair
tipp: exchange the "but" to an "and" (and me too, wld have appreciated to take more and more of the ending sounds)
The sound of a million aching souls

Thank u very much for the upload… I’m a Mika Levi fan but always can’t find enough information of hers.

I think this shot wit that kind of added zoom out might have been even better oppening fot the movie :) Great stuff :)
amazing. thanks for the upload
PERFECTION
It pulled me under 🥺
I don't recall seeing this scene in the movie
it technically isnt i stitched together the same scene a few dozen times and added the zoom
so lovely
Thank you, fellow MDE enthusiast
How about I’m doing none of em
This is exquisite, i can feel a hint of silent hill 2 ost
@JohnBaiger video game music can be art. BOOMER
Silent Hill 2 literally gets discussed in university for its atmosphere and storytelling, If you are interested in good stories you should check it out. @JohnBaiger
@JohnBaigerdude what? the silent hill score is masterfully crafted and consists of some of the saddest and scariest ambiance I’ve ever heard
@JohnBaigerand movies are what, then?
@JohnBaiger So the only reason movies are superior is because they've been around longer? Movies are amazing and can be pieces of art. Video games aren't different in that regard.
I know this is the score but if this film doesn’t win best sound i stg
Perfection
ASTOUNDING

Thinking of Gazah, how the coin turned. Poor Palestinians suffering the genocide by the jews.

Sadly history repeats itself
Reminds me to some degree of "Gewissensbisse | pangs of conscience - Reue | remorse - KARMA" (my own self-made music) 🤔
