Here is a video I’ve seen a long time ago when I was looking into “The Dark Knight” movie subject. I was really amazed how nicely this movie was done. The music makes it but also of course the role of Heath Ledger as a Joker. I have seen this movie many times but mostly I watch the scenes with Joker. Genius! Don’t have enough of it.
When it comes to Hans Zimmer scoring this movie I remembered that he was talking about trying to describe Joker in one sound, define his character in “two notes that clash beautifully with each other”. He created that sound with a cello. And a mixture of guitars played with a piece of metal as I understood. It’s the sound of anarchy. I really like it. It starts slowly and quietly, gradually getting louder and higher in pitch, creating more and more tension. He made something with such an enormous effect from something so “simple”. He matched the persona of Heath Ledger’s Joker perfectly. Another genius!
