Score: A Film Music Documentary/电影配乐传奇

Seldom do us realize the importance of score in a movie. Yet, just like Spielberg said: (A good score could) give a movie rebirth. Let me quote the IMDB introduction of this documentary as below:

For a predominately visual medium like cinema, its musical component plays a vital role as well, especially its score. In that essential musical accompaniment, the soul of the film is expressed whether it be sweepingly majestic fanfares or delicate lyrical pieces. This documentary explores the artistic role of this special musical discipline that completes the cinematic artistic creation process and the artists who have devoted their careers to this contribution. We explore the form's history and examine the masters who defined it with their own distinctive artistic vision. In doing so, the various components of this delicate creative process are revealed as they create a musical compositional work that has inspired a popular appreciation of music in all its forms, which gave some old musical ways their own new lease on life.

The two of my favorite scoring master are Hans Zimmer and John Williams; so happy to enjoy their music again along with many other movie musicians.
