Does anyone know the soundtrack of the Korean movie The Man Who Used to Be Superman?

1978, the first film in the Superman series, influenced the whole world and shocked all Superman fans. The master who wrote music for the first Superman is john williams, a famous American film music master. His music in Superman is a very important work in the history of film music. Then in 2006, we ushered in the blockbuster Superman Returns. Superman music has also returned to us. John ottman is the composer of this film. In the soundtrack of Superman series, we can find that "classic regression and resampling" is the composer's main style. He used many classic melodies of john williams again in the soundtrack of the film, but the composer added some orchestration or variations of his own style to make the whole soundtrack more contemporary and gorgeous.

Super Music Return Episode 1-Superman March

Superman lives on a planet called krypton. In the movie Superman (1978), john williams wrote music specially for this krypton star. At first, this kind of music was played by brass music with a long line phrase in the bass area, and then repeated by trumpet at different heights. This musical technique made the music of the film full of science and technology at that time.

With the growth of Superman, Superman gradually understands his past and present responsibilities. He wants to help people on earth and become a hero. Then the real Superman theme music appeared from this time. This is a jumping theme melody played by brass. This music has become the absolute theme of Superman's screen image. In these decades, this music has been released, and fans know that it is Superman.

This classic theme song of Superman is actually based on Richard Strauss's Zarathustra. Zarathustra said this. This is the philosophical work of the philosopher Nietzsche. In this work, the author mentioned superman spirit and superman thought, and philosophers extended an upward spirit in the development and evolution of human beings. Richard Strauss wrote this symphonic poem based on Nietzsche's works. The ideas in Nietzsche's philosophical work Zarathustra said this, extended to the theme music of Superman, which fully witnessed the composer Williams' extensive knowledge and unique insights.

For the return of the movie music of Superman Return, the biggest challenge john ottman faces is the superman image and superman music that people are used to. So the film basically quoted the theme song of Superman by john williams. However, the composer tried his best to make some innovations. When we hear the original music, we will feel that the texture of the orchestration is more fashionable, more impactful and more exciting for modern movie music.

The Return of Super Music Part II-Love Serenade

Superman came to the metropolis and met Louise, a female reporter in the Daily Planet, and they had a beautiful love. In the old Superman movie, the music of this love theme created by Williams is also very slow and has a very soft lens feeling.

In the new movie Superman Returns, Superman finds that his beloved Louise is married and has children, and his inner feelings are quite complicated. Altman still follows Williams' love theme, but music has become a form of memory. The opening of the music was quiet, and the crystal clear timbre of strings, woodwinds, pianos and vibrato brought the artistic conception of the whole music to a very warm atmosphere. In order to highlight the memory of music, john ottman used a lot of sounds. Here, this kind of music imitating religious singing is not only limited to Superman's bitter love, but also implies that Superman should not indulge in feelings too much and should dedicate this love to those he needs to save. The music here shows a great inner world of Superman.

The Return of Super Music Part III-Scherzo of Villains

The villain in Superman is a "genius" with high IQ, and he wants to reorder the whole world. So his theme music is not pure evil, but makes people feel funny. Williams played a melody like a clown with his best tuba.

However, different from the factors of the first two music paying tribute to the old superman, in The Return of Superman, although the villain is the same as the villain in Old Superman, john ottman has created a completely different theme music.

With the development of film technology, it is a bit sensational if the elements of humor are still pursued in music. So the composer chose the mechanical string band to show the dark side of the villain. At the same time, the composer also used the stress of brass pipes extensively, so that the audience could fully feel the disharmony of music. The suggestion of movie music and the performance of movie pictures can make the audience feel that something big is going to happen from the double angles of vision and hearing.

The Return of Super Music Part IV-Heroic Symphony

Superman, as a representative of hero movies, also has the nature of action movies. Then its music must have the characteristics of action music. In "Old Superman" music, john williams's technique in action music has continued to this day. Music is mechanically tapped at different rhythms, and then with the fast and slow movements, the concert is synchronized with the lens of the movie.

With the development of film technology, Superman Returns has many very thrilling high-tech shots. Therefore, john ottman quickened the musical rhythm of the action scenes to adapt to the exciting action features of the film. The composer used the cross sound processing of the orchestration part and added African and other nationalized percussion music. It can be said that the whole music line is not based on melody, but on the rhythm of a rhythm, and music better completes the role of coordinating with the rhythm of action.

Superman movies are actually a very simple movie routine, which contains an idealized heroism with a clear distinction between good and evil, which also makes Superman a global idol and one of the cultural symbols of American movies-the red cloak, the chest symbol of the letter S, fearless heroism and so on. These have influenced every movie fan to some extent. Superman's music has further increased the influence of this film culture. With the development of the times, Superman's movies are getting better and better, and its music is also developing in a more humane and dazzling direction. Reminiscent of yesterday's classics, we will be the first to listen to the original sound of the new version of Superman Return, which will be broadcast on the movie channel every Thursday afternoon 15: 30.
