Exactly, the bleak and unsettling tone when Arthur is alone or being victimised, then the ringing combined with the track when he's having disconcerting thoughts and frightening intentions to finally the triumphant music when becomes The Joker and wins is both unnerving and awe-inspiring. Great job
You’re absolutely right! I’ve listened to the music before I watched the movie and it pulled me deeper into the movie. I hope she gets an Oscar for her work.
@@joelmiller2601 if we're gonna get technical, there's no such thing as "everyone" or "no one". Don't you think there's at least one person on this earth that didn't like the score?
We all know the Oscars is rigged, and judging by what the “Media” was saying about this movie, I fear it will effect that. Honestly- best film I’ve seen in over decades.
marocstars im so glad she went with the instrumentation that she did, the lower register of the cello is so great at funneling the sadness, rather than a whiny violin.
It's only natural she's be recommended for the Joker movie, as the directors of Chernobyl and Joker have worked together in the past. With the recognition she's earned, I hope I see her work everywhere in the following years.
Gui Porto it’s definitely a strong contender for an Oscar. The only one I can see competing is HTTYD score, but that’s just me being biased to the fact that I love those films.
The last time I was so captivated my a perfectly harmonious movie and score was interstellar but it happened again yesterday when I saw Joker. Breathtaking in IMAX. It really is a masterpiece
Rúnar Smárason Personally I feel she’s taking over the reigns for me. I like how simple her scores are. Hans uses a lot of musicians for his scores. Hers come off smaller. Almost more intimate.
I'm very excited to hear the score. If the music helped influence the performances, and the trailer was dark and gritty and creepy. Ohhhh boy I'm excited
imagine how she felt when his music played with such a masterpiece movie with such a legendary actors...the music was so perfect it looks like another layer of script...one of best score i have heard...i am speechless about this movie...it shines in every department.
I listen to the Joker (2019) soundtrack by this lady and I can't stop... At school, at work, at home, in the car... Im addicted and I still get goosebumps
Her score for joker movie was phenomenal.. should be got oscar next year. N am i the only one who think her face look like older version of x23, Wolverine daughter from LOGAN movie?
Her soundtrack was utterly amazing and I hope she takes the Oscar for movie score. Joaquin will get most of the spotlight, and deservedly so, but we cannot overlook her score. It bridged his performance.
Andrew Monck I don’t know about film scores, but I know that when Masafumi Takada wrote the score for a murder mystery game trilogy called DanganRonpa before playing the game or knowing the story because he didn’t want to be spoiled of all the twists and turns the stories take. I absolutely LOVE his score for those games, kind of a weird mixture of classical, jazz, EDM, and rock. Highly recommend listening to his work.
Apparently composers love just being able to compose from their own mind, so many complain about composing in post as many scenes are set to temp music which restricts creativity!
She is brilliant. In the trailer, There are ghosts of circus, Broadway, industrial, and ambient music twisted into something sooo ominous. So excited to see this.
I mean you have to consider that the film is heavily influenced by King of Comedy and Taxi Driver, so in terms of originality, it doesn't have much to offer aside from a few areas. What it does have is the Writing for an Adaption, and the Lead Actor's performance. Maybe Cinematography as well. The score is indeed great, and I think she's an underrated composer no doubt, but the Academy doesn't tend to give Oscars for the sake of the music itself as opposed to the intention behind it, something that differentiates it from the rest, whether it's technical execution, preparation, or some study that really shines through in the movie. Case in point: Black Panther. As a score itself it's not much musically, but the fact that Ludwig went to Africa to research and bathe in Afro-pop, as well as the implementation of unique instrumentation, was the edge that made him win the Oscar. That and the Academy really wanted Black Panther to win for cultural reasons. It's also difficult for a score composer to win an Oscar when the film relies on previously made works and popular/licensed music.
I find her so attractive. Not only her looks, but her mind. How in touch she is with her art. I really do hope she gets the Oscar! By far the best score of the year!
There were few moments in Joker I felt that haunting feeling which was actually beautiful as in Chernobyl, well that explains a lot as she created both of the score
Every apsect of the film is truly a masterclass. Her score was stunning in every sense, and what it did for Pheonix's physical performance is astounding.
At first time listening to the score n read the name I though Hildur was a guy. I'm quite familiar with the work by Hank Zimmer etc but later became suprised knowing Hildur was a woman. She's so good. Thank you Hildur. Since i left cinnema past 3 days ago I only hear OST from Joker. My fav track is bathroom dance, defeated clown, call me the joker n all of them including white room by cream
Dark, ambient, harrowing, haunting and sorrowful. And that final triumphant piece when he’s on the car.... Top tier soundtrack. Bought it the following day. I’ll now listen to anything this woman makes.
This OST for Joker will when an Oscar because the score is absolutely amazing it’s in synch with Jokers every move the motivation behind developing the score based off of her interpretation and feeling then Joaquin takes the music and turns it into what the Joker embodies is AMAZING!
Joker score is truly special. I have never heard anything like Joker original score. It’s so unique and so different from others blockbusters films. She did an amazing job. Best original film score for Oscar 2020 👏🏼👏🏼
The score is so important and relevant in this movis that, in my opinion, it has become a character in itself. Hildur is an amazing composer. I wish she’ll get way more appreciation for the work she does.
I thought I heard Philips say he played her score on set while filming. Never heard of that before. Also, That final act with music playing While joker is center stage in the midst of the riot is one of the most haunting scenes I've seen before. She better be nominated.
That scene gave me physical chills, something I have not gotten from a movie for a very long time, maybe since that one moment in the sixth sense. I saw the same interview about playing the music while filming, it must really set the tone and help the cast and crew make everything into a cohesive whole.
Yes, that actually happened. Apparently there was no dance in the bathroom scene in the original script, Arthur was supposed to wash his makeup and hide the gun. Phillips felt like it didn't feel right, so he played the theme of the scene to Joaquin, and he improvised the dance, which both director and actor loved to be the actual scene and made it happen.
I so much liked the effect of the music. It had the feeling the visuals tried to keep up with the music and it was a refreshing effect because most often the music doesn't want to dominate the visuals and this time it nearly does.
This is the first instance I've ever known of a woman scoring a movie (although I'm sure there are others). And I must say she absolutely smashed it, the score was every bit as gripping and powerful as the onscreen action, especially at the end when the Joker smears the blood smile on his face. Brilliant stuff. 🙌
I’m not really a classical music guy, but I would watch a live performance of her leading a symphony through the soundtrack. I can’t stop listening to it
I'm amazed to hear how easy it was for various people assigned to Joker to fulfill their roles / responsibilities. People are saying it was fun, it was easy, that they had more than enough freedom. This is one of the most complex movies in recent years yet somehow it was pulled off with ease according to those who worked on the project. That's a direct testament to Todd Phillips. It would be a shame if Todd did not explore Joker more OR provide us with a new character study of someone else in history / culture.
Hildur is a very old timey, (and distinctly feminine) scandinavian name. The Icelandic langauge has changed the least of the scandi languages in modern times and most resembles the old Norse that most in Scandinavia spoke around the viking age.
@@Naugur the only thing i know about scandinavian are the women are gorgeous and the healthcare is great, lol I give you a quiz though, common name in southeast Asia, Garin Is it a boys or a girl name?
It's crazy how we hear that violin music throughout the film before we actually see the Joker, in the midst of hiding, dance along with it and it's as if we hear the music for the first time. I have always said that musical scores play a big part in how well a movie turns out and this movie is gold!
Her music while the joker was dancing in the bathroom after the subway incident was near perfect. Hopefully at the very least she gets nominated for an Oscar.
