There are basically two types of soundtracks: those that stand on their own and are usually comprised of songs with words, and those with mood music intimately connected to the movie. Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World\u2019s End<\/i> falls into this second category. <\/p>\n
The soundtrack was enjoyable before seeing the movie, but makes a lot more sense after viewing the movie opening night. Let me get it out of the way and say that the film At World\u2019s End<\/i> is nowhere as good as the first movie and not even on par with the second. However, that shouldn’t stop anyone from enjoying the soundtrack.<\/p>\n
At World\u2019s End<\/i> was scored by Hans Zimmer, the same guy who was a member of Camera Club with Bruce Wooley and Thomas Dolby. He’s come a long way since those days, and most people now remember him from scoring films like The Lion King, Gladiator, The Rock and As Good As It Gets. <\/p>\n
Here, he shines via the constant return to a simple ongoing theme while changing the tempo and instrumentation. There is a wonderful ebb and flow to the music. Crashing crescendos to simple solo instruments bring the music and film to life. There was a musical progression that started with what sounded like wind chimes which progressed to French horns, for example, that was innovative and memorable. There is also a recurring use of brass instruments laid against a background of percussion that is fast becoming Zimmer’s trademark.<\/p>\n
It is estimated the around 50 million people, or one-sixth of the country, will see this movie. It is doubtful that of the rest would buy this soundtrack, which is a shame. While it’s a brilliant and moving companion piece, it stands on its own as an enjoyable listen, though knowing the context makes it better. Still, in any form, the Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World\u2019s End <\/i>soundtrack is a pleasurable listening experience and serves the movie and listener well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":28823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[6722],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-40322","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-original-soundtrack","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/40322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/40322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40322"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=40322"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=40322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
