I have the Bath Attack QT used, just doesn’t have great sound. I’m gonna keep looking for a better version.
200th post! ;D
Keep thinking about “Green Leaves of Summer”. I’m actually sitting through The Alamo to see how it was used the first time around.
At the movie theater for IB, this music, (written by Russian emigré Dmitri Tiomkin for The Alamo?), immediately told me Inglourious was a far cry from the kid-oriented special effects crap that all movie previews are about now. I felt myself breathing a huge sigh of relief and settling in without knowing any more than that.
#1, it’s a waltz, 3/4 time, very famous in Austria as in Blue Danube. Second, the accordian, very French, brings to mind the pre-rock world of intellectuals and spies. We are all past the "ism-schism"s of Europe’s hey day, which is healthy, but being post-intellectual is not all that interesting.
I read up on the making of the Alamo. John Wayne went through a lot to present his own personal vision of this movie on the screen. So even though it’s kind of boring and historically incorrect, it merits some respect.
Finally, being completely historically incorrect is also Inglourious Basterds territory. Maybe this song also tells you that’s what coming, in QT’s massive encyclopedia brain.

I just thought it was insanely appropriate sounding, like every one of his flicks has that sort of opening credit theme song. From what I’ve read he’s never seen The Alamo.
I however really dig The Alamo. Expecting a boring and historically accurate to a tee flick but was pleasantly surprise, had a good time watching it.
In that NPR video, he says he’s never even watched The Alamo

Ofcourse we did you’re both from the gay capital of the world, Austria.
By the way, the nice Nick Perito version of Green Leaves in IB is not in the Alamo. This version must have come out later. Nick Perito apparently was an arranger for people like Perry Como and and accordionist. If you look him up in I-Tunes, he has a very tacky version of Misirlou too.

I believe your right, theres actually a few different people who have covered the song, one is an old group called The Brothers Four who had a minor hit with it
The Green Leaves Of Summer Brothers Four - YouTube
He is right, the song as heard in the movie had a choir sounding vocal to it which I wasn’t a big fan of. This version is way cooler.
The fact that QT hasn’t even seen Alamo, shows just how much people presume he’s referencing in his movies. For example everyone was going on about The Searchers, when Bride leaves the trailer or when Landa leaves the Lapadite house. Yet QT said that it wasn’t consciously referencing The Searchers, that was just how he wanted to shoot the scene.
It’s similar to how everyone was talking about his trunk pov, but QT said: If you wanna film two guys looking into the trunk that’s the best way to film it. (I paraphrase, naturally)
definitely digging Bob Rock on this
this magazine my son found in London is kinda cool and has some cool things to say.
maybe a little bit wordy though but hey.

Nice discussion of Cat People in those English links. Bowie co-wrote that with Giorgio Moroder, who also wrote the Blondie hit “Call Me” for the movie “American Gigolo”.

[quote=“Sebastian”]he doesn’t like composers though. not that he won’t do it, but it could be he uses existing material…[/quote]
Although he doesn’t like composers, he asked Morricone to do the soundtrack for Inglourious, but he didn’t have time so he just used his music pieces instead.
I am fond of watching movies whenever i get free time. when i saw Inglorious Bastards first time i was so impressed by the music and the songs of this films.one more thing is good that is the sound system. and i wants to say thanks for good script of the film.

Where did you read that up? Never knew about it, then the soundtracks for all the other films how did he get them in?
It’s true, he definitly copied the music of Ennio Morricone. I don’t understand they let you do such.
Dispite most of you, I really love his movies and sountracks.
[quote=“Scarface”][quote=“Yasmin”]
He doesn’t like composers? He used Ennio’s music in Kill Bill.
[/quote]
He meant that he doesn’t like composers to compose new material for his movies. He prefers to use compositions already existant from other, older movies.[/quote]
I think all the films of QT have a good soundtrack, it’s matching all the time.
1) I believe Quentin Tarantino to be the greatest living American director behind Martin Scorsese.
2) I embarrassingly admit that I have yet to see Inglorious Basterds.
Without first seeing the movie, the songs on the soundtrack will need to stand on their own. In most cases, songs that end up in Tarantino films take on new meaning.
