I just had to check if I had already posted about the composer of this 1979 Ridley Scott classic. I hadn’t, so it is high time I corrected this oversight! As is common in sci-fi movies, the opening takes its time setting the tone, slowly drawing us in to the vast quietness of space, and the loneliness of life on a spaceship. Legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith makes the most of this opportunity to underscore expertly, beautifully, and atmospherically, immediately prompting me to search IMDB to identify who was responsible. It was in fact in the same year that he worked on the first movie in the Star Trek franchise, which is how I first became aware of, and a fan of, his creative genius. This was just over 2 years after his only Oscar-winning score, for Richard Donner’s The Omen, although he racked up a total of 17 nominations before he passed away in 2004 at the age of 75. Wikipedia states that Alien is considered “one of his best, most visceral scores”, and I would agree that the bleak and dissonant soundscape he conjures is the perfect accompaniment to the dark, intense atmosphere. This is, however, achieved without completely abandoning melodic interest, although it has to be said that it is the superb orchestration that makes this a masterpiece. The avant-garde nature is always well-judged, reinforcing, not distracting from, the visuals, with ample use of, yes, space!

Don't be a dummy! Click *LINK IN BIO* to listen to a NEW episode of Visceral Reactions on MAGIC, Sir Richard Attenborough's immaculate psychological thriller from 1978. Starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Ann-Margaret, and Burgess Meredith, this psychological thriller, based on William Goldman's novel of the same name, involves a fractured mind, a dummy named Fats, and a few dead bodies. Quinton provides all the behind-the-scenes info, while Matthew takes you through the history of ventriloquism, what seems like an endless list of period-appropriate serial killers, and the landscape of 1970s entertainment. Join us to learn more about the movie that prepared Attenborough to make his 1982 epic, Gandhi. - ##horror #horrormovies #film #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #moviepodcast #horrorpodcast #visceralreactions #magic #anthonyhopkins #richardattenborough #annmargret #williamgoldman #jerrygoldsmith #filmadaptation #bookstomovies #ventriloquist #ventriloquism #burgessmeredith #applepodcasts #spotifypodcast #1970smovies #psychologicalthriller https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuGIppuDEm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jerry Goldsmith's main theme for "Rudy".

(Playing a melody on the piano is the best way of detecting how good it actually is.)

That Moment When Dreams Start Becoming Reality...

youtube

Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger is another individual that I learned about when I was a kid who gave me a lot of inspiration. Sean Astin played him (PERFECTLY) in the movie, “Rudy”, which is all based around a true story.

So, I’m big on rootin’ for underdogs. I think it’s admirable whenever an individual defies the odds & makes dreams become reality. It is stories like Rudy’s that truly show how powerful the human spirit can be when fighting for one’s dreams to come true.

I believe dreams are worth having & worth living for - Especially when the dreams are good & inspire the rest of the dreamers in the world (who still strive & live for the dream to come true).

This is SUCH a good movie (this scene CRUSHES IT)!

You don’t have to be into football to appreciate this story - it’s one of those movies that will make anyone appreciate how much hard work & undying devotion people have towards a dream. Granted, people get really hurt playing football, which makes one admire how much dedication to the game a lot of folks have (and love for the game, too). Although I never played football, I always get inspired when I think about how much HEART & SOUL Rudy put into fulfilling his dream (and how so many people have been just as inspired by his life’s accomplishment as I have).

Highly Recommended Viewing for the dreamers in the world!

🏈🍀💪
