Free Music Notes for FlyboysFree Music Review: blow me over with a feather Hit: 5 StarsI TiVo'd Flyboys one night on nothing more than sheer boredom. WWI, and period pieces in general, has never really been my cup of tea. In fact, there was nothing at all that really appealed to me about this movie. I'm not a fan of Franco, and Jean Reno isn't a go-to actor. I cannot stress how much I should never have seen this film.
That's important because I ended up enjoying it very much. I found myself asking "why am I enjoying this film? Why am I sitting up during the aerial dogfights? Why am I stressing about this character, or that one?"
Then it hit me: I was loving the score. The music throughout sucked me in and made me part of the story. That's not to say that the acting and cinematography were shoddy. Both were solid, and I'd even have to commend the CG artists in making realistic CG. (Anyone who has seen the new Indy 4 can attest to what bad CG can do to ruin a movie.) But all that was not EXCEPTIONAL. While I LIKED the movie, I LOVE the music.
Free Music Review: Great movie-Has it all Hit: 5 StarsA wonderful movie with it all-Romance, Humour, Action, Beautiful Flying Scenes and sadness. I have watched it four times now, each time I enjoy th movie more it more. A must see!!
Free Music Review: Music that really fits.... Hit: 5 Stars The Trevor Rabin soundtrack to Flyboys is much like the film itself...very under rated. The music perfectly captures WWI France, it's both exciting and melodic...with a hauntingly beautiful Flute playing throughout.
All the tracks are very good and do tell a story. They are better if you are familiar with the film yet can also stand, quite admirably, on their own.
A very nice edition to my soundtrack library...I predict very good things from Mr. Rabin in the future...his soundtrack here is truly memorable.
Free Music Review: Flyboys Hit: 5 StarsThough a movie buff, I am very particular about soundtracks. Some truly capture the theme and storyline, and help set the mood of the scenes. Other soundtracks baffle me and I wonder who selected the music and wonder where their thoughts were at the time of composition. Flyboys is one of those soundtracks that not only sets the mood of the scenes and enhances the film, it stays with you. When I hear it, it transports me back to a film and storyline that I truly enjoyed.
Free Music Review: Flyboys soundtrack gets five stars Hit: 5 StarsThroughout the movie "Flyboys" I was amazed at how great the music was. Various moods are felt throughout, and are backed by atmospheric crescendos done by a wonderful orchestra of musicians that just kept getting better and better. This is the kind of music that does add so much to a period film such as this one.
Whether it was a daunting scene during ground combat, an aerial dogfight, or the surreal ending when the movie showed us what happened with these brave men after the war, it definitely had enough emotion and striking soundscape to hit a chord with the viewers. Many critics slammed the movie, but regardless of those opinions, I would like to think everyone loved the music that was heard throughout the film. My hat goes off to Trevor Rabin for producing such a wonderful score for this film.
