Weekend Film Spectacle, Every Saturday at 5 pm, 21st of March 2015
In his latest review, film critic Andrew Collins explores the realm of movie scores, focusing on some of the most notable releases from 2015. The article spotlights the big award winners, such as The Theory of Everything and Whiplash, but also takes a closer look at less celebrated scores from recent films like 50 Shades of Grey and Jupiter Ascending.
Eddie Redmayne's masterful portrayal of physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything was undoubtedly a highlight of the film. The Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson crafted a moving score that beautifully complemented Redmayne's performance, earning the film a Golden Globe for Best Original Score.
Moving on to more contemporary releases, 50 Shades of Grey and Jupiter Ascending have also received attention for their movie scores. Danny Elfman composed the music for 50 Shades of Grey, while Michael Giacchino handled the score for Jupiter Ascending.
Despite the buzz surrounding these films, neither 50 Shades of Grey nor Jupiter Ascending have won any major awards mentioned in the article. The scores, while unique in their own right, have not quite reached the same level of acclaim as The Theory of Everything's soundtrack.
As Collins continues his review of movie scores from 2015, he promises to discuss some brand new releases in future proceedings. Readers eager to learn more about the world of movie music will undoubtedly be looking forward to his insights.
