@AddersInHell your posts are really laughable. Your level of sillisness is even greater than the one of @Chat Noir and @Torkelburger and you have to put a lot of effort to surpass that level of sillisness.
First of all, I have to say that I don't take seriously the people who deny the artistic achievements of the major composers of film music, but if they even add that they respect the work of the contemporary producers of pop music their point of view becomes really ridiculous.
How can someone be taken seriously with similar declarations?
Let's say the simple truth.
The music of Howard Shore is much more interesting than the poop played by mainstream radios today. If, after listening to the radio for 20 minutes, I listen to the score of LOTR, my instictive thought is that while modern pop music is literally destroying music, music like the one of Howard Shore gives you a little hope for the future of modern music.
The kind of film music we're talking about is more sophisticated than the average pop music. Not to mention the aesthetic. Even if it was not classical music, it would be still high/serious/academic music. To compose high quality film scores is even harder than composing concert music, in some areas.
After this simple observation, we can discuss about the comparision between the compositional level of Howard Shore, John Williams, James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith, Nino Rota and other classically trained film composers and the one of Beethoven et al... but do we really have to do a similar discussion?
I mean, if you tell me that Howard Shore is not a modern Beethoven, I'll tell you that even Philip Glass is not. There isn't any living classical composer who is regarded as a musical genius like Mozart, so why should we compare the composers of Hollywood to the masters?
One of the worst points of your silly arguments is probably that everyone can easily replace Hans Zimmer, James Horner, John Williams and others.
Do you realize that these composers belong to an elite? There are probably thousands of composers of soundtracks, and most of them are never mentioned.
This means that the composers mentioned above are a little group among a very high number of composers, and how did they achieve that position? I guess that the answer is not difficult: they got many nominations at the Oscars, they won major prizes for film music more than once, and so on.
This mean that their talent has been recognized by their colleagues.
Is Hans Zimmer the new Beethoven? Maybe not, but I listened to the film score of a composer of this forum who attacks him in an unfair way like you, and I realized than even if Hans Zimmer is not Beethoven, he's still Hans Zimmer.
It's not a bad score in itself, but if you compare it with the music of the Gladiator you understand why Hans Zimmer arrived at the place where he is.
You wrote that the major film composers only rip off from music of other composers and they are not able to write original music. This is an other silly observation.
Take for example the polemics about Star Wars.
It's true that Williams copied other works of classical music in "Tatooine Theme".
However, no one has ever demonstrated that he copied for "Battle of the Heroes", and this is one of the most praised themes of John Williams.
It's not difficult to understand that your point of view is highly biased. You probably realize that you are a failed composer and you are frustrated for the success of other composers who are much more skilled than you.
I bet that even Mozart had a lot of enemies. More enemies, more glory!
