#Harry Gregson-Williams

[noname30]

So, here's the thing:

First of all - Gladiator is one of my favourite movies EVER. It's the only film I've seen more than three times at the cinema and it introduced me to the genius of Hans Zimmer so I will love it forever.

Secondly - I've seen many stupid movies in my life but what I saw today was...

I'm not even sure how to describe it. Why? How? Who gave money for this crap? Who convinced all these actors to take part in this abomination?

Ugh. Before I saw it, I guess back then when I first heard that there was a plan to do it, I had many doubts, I could not believe that they could do it again. But... I did not expect telenovela and such a huge insult to the original movie.

First I thought, well, you have to respect Paul Mescal to be brave enough and try to compete with Russell Crowe but, my lord, he was no competition at all. I mean, he wasn't horrible but he was no fit for this role, I'm sorry, that is my opinion.

The two puppets, I mean Imperial Twins could not be more wooden, my teeth were in trouble every time there was a scene with these two.

And the plot. What can I say? They slaughtered original story of Maximus so badly that at one moment I wanted to cry, it wasn't funny anymore. They completely erased his life in Spain, wife and son and made him simple Roman general, who only cared for Rome. Right.

Next there is music. I have nothing against Harry Gregson-Williams. Even liked some of his works. And it was a tough job to do, following Hans Zimmer. But apart from Zimmer's parts there was nothing interesting in the music for this film. Sad.

One more thing - the movie is brutal. I didn't know how brutal it is before the screening but still I was surprised when I saw a couple with two kids that couldn't be older than 10 going for the same movie. I'm not sure if I would want to see it as a kid.

Uff, so that's that.

There was a good thing in the movie - it was Denzel Washington's role. I liked this character (although his ending was ridiculous) and he did great job acting. And Pedro Pascal was all right, even when he did not have much to work with.

I don't know what happened to Ridley Scott but this movie is a mistake. HUGE, MASSIVE MISTAKE.

Or, maybe it was supposed to be a parody of some sort? 🤔

Kingdom of Heaven OST - The King (Harry Gregson-Williams)

This has been playing on repeat while I've been brainstorming headcanons and writing blurbs from my new WIP crossover fanfic, Sicut In Cælo Et In Terra.

Though Star Trek enables me to create the kind of AU content I want, the whole fic will lean far more heavily in favor of KoH, and King Baldwin IV in particular will play a very large role in this drastically-changed timeline and universe. The king himself will be a hybridized version of his historical and KoH selves, as will most of the other characters in the story.

For those interested, here are a few of these headcanons:

His chambers are frequented by an old and battle-scarred silver Egyptian Mau street cat. Baldwin has dubbed him "Carles Li Magnes" (Charlemagne).

His warhorse is named Vielantiu, after the horse of the legendary Roland.

His sword is called Enseigne, an Oakeshott XII-type pattern-welded blade with a bone hilt, blue and white enameling, and decorative gilding. According to the Old Norman dictionary, this word can mean everything from "sign" or "prophecy" to "paragon" and "exemplar", and even "war cry", depending on context. The engraving in the fuller reads "Virtue, Faith, Will" in Latin. As for the design, see the WIP sketch below.

If I've piqued your interest, be sure to check out the WIP first chapter I posted here!

Harry Gregson-Williams is a famous composer who you might know for working on the Metal Gear Solid series. However, the reason Kojima wanted to hire someone like Gregson-Williams is that he was a movie composer!

And Kojima of course loves movies and the prestige of making his games just a little more movie-like.

One of my favorite scores Gregson-Williams has done is for the Aardman movie Chicken Run, which is basically a Prisoner of War movie ala The Great Escape... but with Chickens!

Chicken Run got a movie tie-in PS1 game, as many children's movies of the era did, and being that the general vibe of the story is "POW Movie... With Chickens!", guess what then-popular military video game they decided to base their gameplay on?

Sadly, while Harry Gregson-Williams worked on both Chicken Run and MGS (from Sons of Liberty onwards), he had nothing at all to do with Metal Gear Chicken.

You can laud Lord of the Rings all you want, but I’ll never love a fantasy soundtrack more than I do The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’s (2005.)

Gladiator II (15): aka Strength And Honour - The Next Generation.

One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Gladiator II". A rip-roaring sequel from Ridley Scott that delivers thanks to a stunning Denzel Washington. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Gladiator II” (2024). As I was up in London for a (very good) Mark Kermode in 3D show at the BFI, I took the opportunity to watch “Gladiator II” on the biggest screen in the UK… the BFI IMAX. Mental note… Row G is still 7 rows from the front, but a bit further back would have been better! Bob the Movie Man Rating: “Gladiator II” Plot Summary: Lucius (Paul…

NOC Review: 'Gladiator II' Honors Its Predecessor with Strength and Blood

NOC Review: 'Gladiator II' Honors Its Predecessor with Strength and Blood @GladiatorMovie #GladiatorII @ParamountPics

There are very few films in cinematic history — especially from the ‘00s — that many would consider perfect. But 24 years ago, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator became a monumental box office success, an Oscar Winner for Best Picture, and is now considered to be one of the best films of its decade. So I was insanely skeptical about Gladiator II. Continue reading NOC Review: ‘Gladiator II’ Honors Its…

The King - Ambience Edit 2

Another "ambience"-style edit of Harry Gregson-Williams's "The King" I whipped up, in the same spirit as the first. Headphones recommended.🎧😁

Hopefully the Baldwin writers will find this useful for mood-setting/inspiration... or just squeeing in general, lol.

GUYS GUYYYYYS!

I got the tracklist for Gladiator 2 soundtrack and....

ACACIUS HAS TWO THEMES!!!!

Besides, "Now We Are Free" returning?!

Honestly.... I don't know how are we going to survive...

Also, I strongly believe the track "Defiance" could be related to this scene 👀:

So it would mean perhaps he has 3 themes or 2 1/2 ish? 👀

(if you know the credits of the picture, pls tell me so I can tag them and because this pic was sent it to me by a friend a few days ago without any credits 😅)

And I strongly believe this soundtrack will be great, I mean it was the same composer who made, according to my opinion, this masterpiece of score:
