先转载一段娱乐周刊骂 Amelia 的影评。Amelia是 Gabriel Yared 写的配乐,看这段影评,是不是就是当年GY的特洛伊被炒鱿鱼的原因?
Amelia dutifully conveys the salient biographical info with a trusty cinematic device: As Earhart and Noonan embark on their doomed flight, flashbacks catch the audience up on the events that got her there. (Christopher Eccleston, as Noonan, is the one understated player in this endeavor.) Those last 10 minutes or so of radio- communications loss, concurrent instrument failure, and dawning awareness of disaster are honestly gripping. But just in case the point isn't clear enough (She! Must! Fly!), throughout the drama composer Gabriel Yared lays on blasts of musical exclamations that are as distracting as sirens. Sometimes that music says, ''It's great to be in the sky and surfing the clouds!'' Sometimes it says, ''Look how pretty the landscape looks below — kind of makes you miss the music in Out of Africa, right?'' Sometimes the rumble of violins and horns hints, ''Uh-oh, we're getting to the tragic part of the story!''
Mostly, the busy orchestra backs up the starry cinematography to remind us, ''This slim, androgynous beauty, with her unusual love life and her driving need to take to the skies, sure was something, huh?!'' Whatever the message, there's no navigating around such intrusive messengers. C+

现今观众已经难以接受剧情片文艺片里老派的“宏大”配乐了,伊们要求配乐只能居次席,只要一有“旋律”,就是恶心的煽情。——老朽我也难免不接受这种观点。写实的剧情片,举几个例子,摔跤手,还有拆弹部队,还有老无所依,如果来一堆煽情的旋律,多恶心多别扭。现在这样很自然很真实。以后大概文艺片都不要配乐了,或者干脆就只要一点点,画龙点睛像拆弹部队的闪回片段那样的。
卖场面的动作片特技片呢?脑残观众就喜欢带摇滚味道的MV式垃圾。汉子寂寞已经垄断了一大半。剩下一半还要分给Tyler Bates, Paul Haslinger这些准垃圾。——Danny Elfman已经从The Wolfman炒了鱿鱼,被Paul Haslinger取代了。Marco Beltrami和Michael Giacchino这些新人还能抢到几杯羹?
这个产业已经彻底堕落鸟。以欣赏电影配乐为爱好的各位,基本已经只能在Intrada的老电影配乐里找找乐趣,或者像我,时间比较多,在一大堆新电影配乐的垃圾堆里,找些冷门的还算有意思的过过瘾,自欺欺人的说“这个写的‘不错’,有点JG的味道”。喜欢电影配乐就是一大茶几。
