In Reply to: The best DVD soundtrack? posted by rico on July 9, 2005 at 06:29:44:
Not just the show-offy cannons and battles but the subtle, immersive, ambient sounds throughout the movie - it really helps create another world. I've always read that Weir is into the sound and music of his films, but the guys that got their Oscars for M&C's sound editing richly deserved their awards. It's pretty special. Oneof my best theatrical experiences.That opening battle sequence is certainly an attention getter.
M&C gets my vote for best DVD sound design because it's one of the few movies with a demo quality soundtrack that's also an excellent film.
BTW, those whooshes and whistles in M&C were the recorded sounds of real cannon shots, fired in...Michigan.
