Hans Zimmer/Awesome Music: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Gladiator (Film)|Gladiator]]'s'' musical finale is also extremely touching, climaxing with the track [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHAvjaHtlMA Now We Are Free], which is sung in a language that no one can understand but conveys the ''exact'' message as the title.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAOTSO9ioZk The Battle] - ten minutes of pure AWESOME.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsRgOS1K--c "Budget Meeting"] qualifies. Face it - that sheerly epic instrumentation is the sole reason (aside from scrumptious donuts) that people would even bother to ''attend'' budget meetings in real life.

* For a film that is [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]], ''[[Muppet Treasure Island]]'' 's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RisL9l8HzmM Shiver My Timbers]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jZCAAzgSV4 Professional Pirate]" (sorry, couldn't find the original clip) are some great pirate songs. Then again, music composed by Hans Zimmer and sung by Tim Curry is automatically bound for awesome.

* The score of ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' deserves a mention for its awesome combination of Western and Chinese motifs. [http://www.wat.tv/video/kung-fu-1yd7m_1xtbh_.html "Sacred Pool Of Tears"] (stops at 2:55) is incredibly moving at the beginning, then made of [[Pure Awesomeness]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdjnonJdxtM "Oogway Ascends"] is a tear jerker.

** Tai Lung's Theme, which appears at various points throughout [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKbGrvxZSjY "Tai Lung Escapes"], "The Bridge", and "Shifu vs. Tai Lung" (Not to mention all the cool kung fu fighting music!).

* ''[[Rain Man]]'', primarily for "Las Vegas"

* His work on the soundtrack for ''[[The Pacific]]'', particularly the opening theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcn4fXcxZEs&feature=related "Honor"].
