In the first scene the music fit, but after sometime it got just too overbearing. Halfway in I wanted to stab my already-busted eardrums, it was SOOO loud and annoying. :(
shareLet me add my vote to the many that like the soundtrack. Boyd's Journey (Main Theme) always gets stuck in my head for a few days after I watch Ravenous.
shareI agree. The opening credits alone were accompanied by something that sounded like "plink-plink-plink-plink" non-stop for five minutes. I wound up muting the tv and hoped neither of the two characters on screen said anything relevant to the movie.
The whole film was like that.
I only kind of like this movie. I'd probably really like it if not for the sh!tty music.
Thit and thpin!
i love the music.
F.H.R.I.T.P.
I usually love Michael Nyman, he's one of the greatest composers for film ever, IMHO. But Ravenous? I HATED the music! Whether it was the addition of Damon Albarn or the fact that (according to IMDB) it was played by non-musicians, I just did not enjoy it at all and I don't feel it captured the mood of the film in the slightest. And it was mixed FAR too loudly, it assaulted my ears most heinously.
"Hot lesbian witches!"
the entire soundtrack WASN'T played by non musicians just one little bit.
F.H.R.I.T.P.
Yeah, I guessed that as the film went on. The opening theme sounds like the likeliest culprit. I did like bits and bobs--the music after the blonde soldier asks Guy Pearce's character: "are you loaded? Then lets go kill this bastard!", that was good, also near the end when Carlyle reappears as the soldier, I think when he shows his shoulder? I felt the soundtrack was reminiscent in places to the main "...Cuckoo's Nest" theme, it had that same sort of "Native percussion" click and clank to it. But I really think it was mixed far too loudly. Like I said, though, I really do like Nyman--I have The Draughtsman's Contract soundtrack, along with The Cook, The Thief..., Drowning By Numbers (not a great film but a wicked soundtrack) and a shoddy rip of The Falls. He's bloody ace!
"Hot lesbian witches!"
I thought the soundtrack was brilliant personally... It was eerie but it was the off beat surreal weirdness that helped keep the movie tense.
shareEasily my favorite film score of all time. Super inspiring. Own it on CD, listen to it all the time, and always find myself going back to it for inspiration.
shareOne of the best soundtracks ever made. Dunno wtf your talking bout. It set the mood for the movie perfectly.
