I just finished my works today and still have an hour to go before I hit the bed. So I decided to just write up my mind :)
Anyway, I just downloaded the whole Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack – yep, the whole soundtracks from the 3 movies. Took me a day and more than 1gb space to download everything. Apparently the whole album consists of alternate of this song and alternate of that song. And this led me to watch the movies again :)
I know the movies aren’t as epic as Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings, but somehow it leaves a staggering effect after watching it. The whole chronicles (if you read the book), really depicts as if the land and the story exist. You know, the kind of movie in which you search every information in Wikipedia after you watch it. Narnia is that kind of movie.
And moreover it’s the composer. Truthfully after seeing the first movie in 2005, the score caught my ears – which rarely happens. And surprisingly the composer, Harry Gregson-Williams, is the apprentice of my all time favourite composer, Hans Zimmer. I know I’m not a musical person and I don’t know much about composing, but I gotta say these two composers have produced brilliant and eargasm scores. Even I think they surpassed John Williams, a multiple Oscar winner composer who is well-known in composing Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, etc. But Gregson-Williams and Zimmer work are different. The music itself speaks the movie. They make the movie alive and real. Some of the scores make me have goose bumps every time I listen to them.
Anyway, back to Narnia. I do hope the movie continues until the whole chronicles complete. Though the third movie is rather disappointing. Probably because it’s not from Disney anymore :/ The aura is kind of different than the first two. But it’s a waste not to complete the whole things though, just like Eragon.
Nuff said :D
