Soundtrack Sweethearts.

Redescovering or introducing: Danny Elfman, Alexandre Desplat.

I can not say my favorite composers for I am not sure, not near to being sure. But today, I have rediscovered the fascination of their music.
Mostly, people do not pay attention to the soundtracks -some people, of course  know there are always exceptions- but I know that the importance of movies relies on way more than only good actors. Writers, directors, producers, make-up, costume design... composers. Ah, the sweet sound of music that gives the edge in movies.
Danny Elfman, like the Elfman surname I am so scared of -they may not even be family but I think there are like 3 or 4 Elfman's in movies- he does deserve a poor mention on this blog, for he has done amazing things.
For those who know the existance of Batman before Christian Bale, and remember the series of old Batman movies... Danny Elfman was the brilliant composer as, no need to say it but I must, those of us who are Burton's fans, Danny Elfman was the composer and lyric writer for The Nightmare Before Christmas, nothing else, nothing better than Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, beetlejuice! and The Corpse Bride.
Elfman had also something to do with Physco, Mars Attack! and Chicago but I thank him for such wonderful, exciting music, as today, watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, I very much enjoyed the movie and the score.

Next in line: Alexandre Desplat.  Not as mentioned as he should, I think, not as Danny before but very well know for his good job, as well. I first got to know his music through The Twilight Saga soundtrack from New Moon and well, I loved it. I later discovered what am to share now:
He was composer for The Queen, Benjamin Button, The Golden Compass, Coco before Chanel, The King's Speech and such a wonderful job for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (1-2).
I was really happy when while sitting at the movies, watching HP for the first time on the week after it oficially came out, there was this moment when I stopped and said to myself.
'Wait. That sounds like... Alexandre, it's his music. Could it?' So I waited until the end and AH! there it was, in golden letters, his name.

Maybe I can't tell a lot from composers, but today, they've earned it, for doing such a great job!
For giving my life some music as well! For making me have a movie-like experience.
