I'm seeing the film on Thursday. Got my expectations up for the score now.

Seemed pretty basic "band score" to me. Movie was good, though.

Sounds nice.
But with all the movies in recent .."modern" years , which try to imply a sixties vibe...they fail in the "sound " itself.
The grooviness is always lacking.
Listen to old Schifrins, Jones, Gruisins and Goldsmiths etc...the all got this
warm groovy and very cool touch to it.
Its probably the digital crispness nowadays and the instruments...don´t know.
But as much as I appreciate the try..I´m always disappointed somehow.

Nevertheless a decent score no doubt.

There is nothing digital about it... except that it was not recorded to an analog tape but digitally. Other than that it is 100 % acoustic score.

That's informative.

But by "digital stamp" I was referring to the very contemporary sheen of the post effects and the mixing and mastering.

NO CD = NO SALE

That's not informative. I was proffering Marco's contribution as a noteworthy music score, not as a frisbee.

Ford v Ferrari · Best (Drama) Score of 2019?

No imho.
RUSH by Zimmer is much much more (drama)tic.

Saw the film today. Fairly middle-of-the-road, no pun intended. Probably great for car buffs (of which I am not); the rest of the intrigue is rather empty.

Beltrami and Sander's score is OK, but this ain't no new RUSH, that's for sure. Probably works better on album than in the film.

…this ain't no new RUSH.

Which is apropos of what, exactly? Ford v Ferrari is not Rush and Rush is not Ford v Ferrari. Whatever merits those like yourself might accord Zimmer's score to a 6 year old film sharing similar subject matter are irrelevant to the topic at hand.

How is it not relevant? Both are racing films with a driver rivalry at its core. I think it's a VERY relevant comparison; it would, in fact, be weird NOT to make it. But where RUSH is a far more visionary film, both inside and outside the race track, FORD VS. FERRARI opts for the safe. It has some great driving sequences, but that's about it as far as intrigue is concerned. It has a rather boring visual look. Zimmer's score is one of the best after the 2000s, both in and out of the movie, while Beltrami's is a bit all over the place, stylistically. I think some of the tracks linked to in this thread are fairly good, but in the film the score either buried in the mix, or fails to reach any particular emotional heights.

There is no contest, really.

How is it not relevant?

Zimmer's Rush (2013) is as irrelevant to the question of whether Ford v Ferrari is the "best (drama) score in 2019?" as would be raising comparison to Jarre's Grand Prix (1966) or Legrand's Le Mans (1971).

But you're free to launch a comparative debate of Ford v Ferrari vs Rush in a thread of your own devising if you so wish … "Best Score for a Race Car Movie," for example , or you could carry on from where this Rush thread left off:

What a strange criticism.

If you're going to talk about whether or not this is the 'best drama score of 2019', it's only natural to describe its general qualities first. And in doing so, it's equally natural to compare it to previous films and scores with a similar premise that (IMO) have been more successful at it.

Yes, there is no contest really between visionary Mangold movie (and its score) and as always boring and pathos-filled Ron Howard. razz
