What makes Megalopolis so strange and, for a big-budget Hollywood film, so singular, is that, just like Vergil’s Aeneid, it is at once accretive, allusive, and idiosyncratic because Coppola is attempting something very few artists have ever done: to speak from inside the imperial organism, even as it begins to crack, and to craft a vision that is both a monument to its grandeur and a requiem for its decline.
Yo tampoco me meto en este hilo hasta que vea la película el viernes que viene, que no quiero saber nada más de lo que ya he leído sobre el argumento. El trailer ni siquiera lo he visto entero.
Un poco más de la música de Williams para la película (los cortes believe y celestial)

Los primeros segundos suenan mucho a ET la musica del principio de los creditos, curioso cuando se decía que la música sonaba a Minority Report, y nada de lo que ha salido (me) recuerda a ello, supongo que eso serán las partes de acción.
Ya veo que Tripley ya lo había comentado en el otro hilo XD

Pues si, todo lo que decían de que el score era de texturas y bastante duro no sé de donde sale, a no ser que las partes más accesibles sean las que estén haciendose públicas ahora, y la mayoría del album sea diferente

Critica sin spoilers pero aun así bastante minuciosa.

A nuestro Marty_Mcfly le ha maravillado, que lo sepáis. Ha salido de la sala encantado (la vio ayer por la mañana en el pase de prensa).

Reseña de Pawel P en Jwfan.
Just got back from the cinema.
Without getting into spoilers, I thought the film was excellent – genuinely big-screen Spielberg. There’s a lot going on, and I already know I need a second viewing to fully process it all. Someone wrote somewhere that the film lacks humor. I honestly have no idea what they were talking about. And when it comes to action, Spielberg still knows exactly how to stage a chase.
As for the score, there is quite a lot of music in the film. Early on it tends to appear in shorter passages, while the second half features more extended musical sequences. That said, this is not a score-driven film in the way Star Wars, Harry Potter or even some of Spielberg's earlier collaborations with Williams are. Williams is a little more in the background here than some people may expect – but I absolutely do not mean that as criticism.
There are two or three action moments in classic Williams fashion, but don't go in expecting anything on the scale of "Anderton's Great Escape". That's simply not what this score is about. Still, in a few places Williams reminds us that he hasn't forgotten how to get the pulse racing.
What struck me most was the thematic material. There is a beautiful horn theme – though not in an obvious, immediately attention-grabbing way – that becomes more prominent later in the film, and I'm very curious to hear how it develops on the album. There is also a lighter scherzo-like idea that caught my attention immediately. I found myself wondering whether it receives a more substantial development on the soundtrack release.
The score also features some delicate choral writing that occasionally brought A.I. to mind. Not huge, operatic choral statements, but something much more intimate and ethereal. Pure Williams.
Another thing I noticed was a theme that, at least to my ears, had a certain "Cinque's Theme" quality to it, accompanied by a female vocalise. I'd be very curious to revisit those passages on album, because they made quite an impression in the context of the film.
There is also one particularly emotional cue before the finale, strongly centered around the piano, that absolutely floored me. One of those moments where the emotional impact of the music becomes almost overwhelming.
"listen..." appears during the end credits, but what really stayed with me was what follows afterwards, when that beautiful A.I.-like theme returns in all its glory, enriched by a delicate chorus. It was one of the musical highlights of the entire experience.
As for the finale itself, I wouldn't compare it to Close Encounters or E.T. in terms of musical spectacle. However, there were moments when I became so immersed in what was happening on screen that I almost stopped consciously listening to the score, while at the same time feeling that the music was doing exactly what it needed to do. Had it done more, some people might well have accused Williams of pushing the music too hard in moments that didn't require it.
Right now, the only thing I'm thinking about is going back to the cinema on Wednesday or Thursday – partly to hear the score again before Friday's soundtrack release, but also because I simply want to experience the film one more time on the big screen.
And I absolutely cannot wait for the album. I'm convinced it will reveal even more than the film does and that there is still a great deal left to discover.

Así es. No puedo ahora mismo escribir una parrafada, pero sí os digo que, sin llegar a estar en el panteón de obras maestras de Spielberg, sí que está en el grupo más amplio de sus mejores películas. Tiene todo el ADN narrativo de Encuentros en la tercera fase y E.T., salvando las distancias lógicas por las diferentes épocas y colaboradores.
Pero es una película que te atrapa desde el primer minuto (gran acierto que empieza "in media res") y ya no te suelta, con uno de esos desarrollos orgánicos que hace que la película te vaya llevando de modo natural a cada paso. Y cómo está filmada, qué set pieces de acción, qué momentos de ciencia-ficción con sello Spielberg...
La historia, siendo sencilla, ofrece sus buenas cargas de profundidad respecto a los tiempos casi apocalípticos que vivimos. No hace falta decir que hay bastantes referencias religiosas, que tienen todo su sentido en la historia.
Los actores muy bien también.
Mención aparte al maestro Williams, no soy experto en bandas sonoras, pero cuando en una película la música está tan bien integrada que consigue realzar las distintas secuencias sin desviar la atención, es señal de buen hacer. Y sí, también hay momentos diseñados para que la música luzca.
Por poner una pega, los animales CGI.
En fin, me ha encantado y creo que será un nuevo clásico a añadir a la carrera impresionante del que, para mí, sigue siendo el número uno.
I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason.(HUGO)

Por lo que leo en general Spielberg se sobrepone al flojo guión de Koepp y entrega un blockbuster notable. Me vale.

Bueno, yo no diría que en general lo estén llamando flojo. Noño, buenista e ingenuo si, pero a estas alturas esas son criticas recurrentes al cine de Spielberg que dicen más del margen de tolerancia del espectador para con esos rasgos de estilo que otra cosa.
Flojo era el de Jurassic Park.

Exactamente eso. El guion no es flojo, y de hecho está todo muy bien hilado. Lo que es es sencillo, igual que era sencillo el de Encuentros en la tercera fase: personajes que se van reuniendo en un sitio, etc.
Y en efecto, es buenista e ingenuo, lo cual responde a la naturaleza del propio Spielberg y supone un soplo de aire fresco.

Spielberg es DIOS punto.
Hasta el sabado...
Han colgado la banda sonora en youtube, no oficialmente

Disclosure Day es, como ya nos avanzaba Spielberg, una banda sonora que se caracteriza por su contención y mesura. Es un trabajo que podríamos definir como otoñal, pero esa placidez casi beatifica (las orquestaciones son las mas transparentes, limpias y depuradas de la carrera de Williams en muchos, pero que muchos años, no sobra ni una nota), se ve atravesado casi constantemente por tensión y suspense, que, en términos musicales, supone el grueso del score. Largos pasajes rítimicos con presencia bastante importante del sintetizador que recuerdan inevitablemente a Minority Report, se alternan con el lirismo antes mencionado (incluyendo unos coros y voz solista femenina), todo ello salpicado con puntuales -muy muy puntuales- momentos de acción.
Estilisticamente la partitura, supone una mezcla entre Inteligencia Artificial, Las Cenizas de Angela, Minority Report y La Guerra de los Mundos (esta última exclusivamente para los segmentos de acción, muy breves).
¿Es un score temático? Bueno, hay un tema principal perfectamente identificable que Williams varía y desarrolla, pero en su mayor parte, es un score motivico en el que priman el ritmo y las texturas muy por encima de lo melodico.
Concluyo por tanto que aburrirá a la mayoría, que certificará que Williams ha vivido tiempos mejores y ya está en decadencia, lamentando especialmente la ausencia de espectacularidad orquestal y temas tarareables.
A mí, en cambio, me ha encantado, e incluso sorprendido. Un trabajo crepuscular y reflexivo para degustar con calma varias veces.

Acabo de verla y suscribo palabra por palabra lo comentado por Marty. Muy buena película de Spielberg sin estar en su top absoluto. Muy entretenida, con muy buen ritmo y visualmente espectacular con planos made in Spielberg. Una banda sonora que acompaña de forma magistral. Y yo le pondría otro pero adicional al de los animales cgi (con el que también coincido), y es que el final se me ha hecho un poco largo.
