I just like popping in here from time to time to remark on how sad and spectacularly anal and banal you have to be to be so uptight about the beautiful score for this film.
See you in hell.
Well playedđź‘Ť
Solid score... very cinematic
Oh it is a good score.
Okay, I hadn't seen this movie for 15-20 years, and a commercial came on with the tense score from "Untouchables" playing in the background. Even though I hadn't seen the film in ages and hadn't particularly liked it when I did and had heard several thousand other films scores during the interim, I immediately thought "Hey, that's the music from 'The Untouchables'! Great music.". NOw that's the sign of a good, memorable score.
Ennio Moricone! One of the best film composers ever.
shareYes, he is, but the soundtrack sounds like it came from a Saturday morning kids’ cartoon. The movie is in my library, and I just rewatched it. I don’t like DePalma as a director. I find him heavy-handed and on
the desperate side, e. g., I hate the scene in the train station which the mother (who stinks at planning ahead) is trying to drag a baby carriage AND a large suitcase up impossible stairs and Ness is “torn” between helping her and nabbing his prey, BUT I enjoy this movie EXCEPT for the unmelodious and tinny-sounding soundtrack. Who the hell approved this film score? De Palma has opera allusions all over the film, but he delivers a score that is Muzak.
..is incredible.
