I guess it has that non American sensibility in independent films, which also was directed by a British director, Steven McQueen. That sensibility that does not lend itself to be a self righteous cautionary tale that overindulges in its morality of good and bad, and rather focuses in the grey area which is the human existence, a sobering portrayal of a protagonist that isn't a hero of his own story or others. Just a flawed human being portrayed with as much maturity and respect for not only the character, but for the audience who experience this film. There's nothing more obnoxious than having a director shoving some moral lesson down your throat.
What a powerful movie! I didn't grab it to go to cinema to see the movie while it was out back in 2011. Today I had the chance again when I noticed it scheduled to be re-released on fewer big screens this weekend and to go to a cinema which is far-distanced from where I live and just for seeing this movie. The scenes, the stories were going, and the music, the score was playing there... Wow! Got me so much emotional inside! By the way, the tick tock sounds also reminded me of "A single Man" movie score!
I have this movie and its about a man dealing with his demons, I found this soundtrack on Discogs and I brought it and its so good and The Shame that comes with dealing with inner demons and sex addiction. Its a twisted path for someone who is addicted to sex and they can't stop.
Watch Thin Red Line... famous scene, narration. Maybe you will understand why that music is in Shame movie also. :) It's a symboilc moment...and music btw is amazing in both movies:)
I'm wondering if anyone knows the legality behind Steve McQueen and Harry Escott using this song in the movie, due to the fact that it is a song written and composed by Gavin Greenaway called Journey To The Line from The Thin Red Line OST? Even down to the clock ticks the song is the same. Did Escott try and claim this was original or did he just "re-compose" it for this newer movie? Which really isn't a re-composition at all.
It certainly is a re-composition, imo. This version gives me a different emotional response to 'Jounrey To The Line'. Didn't Zimmer compose 'Journey To The Line'?
Im watching the movie as Im writting this and I instantly thought of "Journey to the line" from the The Thin Red Line. First of all, its composed by Hans Zimmer and the OST composed by Harry Escott wasn't intended to be a copy of Zimmers song, he s just a big fan of him. Second of all, even though technically they re pretty simillar to each other, they re quite different vibe wise. Both are great anyways and Im happy there s more people thinking about "Journey to the line" , which btw, I think its Zimmers most personal soundtrack.
@@iosif_drummer I felt that music has a Zimmer feeling someone.. thanks for the explanation! And yes, copy paste occur all the time, and little thieves steal from little artists : check the ultra famous "scratch instrumental 90bpm" : it took me hours to find out it's by"DJ Tool". Dozen of people stole it to make money (by putting it in Spotify and else)..
This month Steve McQueen in the BBC documentary on Hans Zimmer openly admits that it was a plagiarism of "Journey to the line" (which is composed by Zimmer, Gavin Greenaway was solely the orchestra conductor). In fact, McQueen says that when Zimmer called him on the phone, he thought it was to denounce him, but in reality it was to work with him because he saw a lot of talent. After that phone call and 10 years later, Zimmer and McQueen have already worked together on 2 movies ("12 years a slave" and "Widows"). To the point that for their first joint collaboration (and Oscar nomination), Zimmer agreed to charge much less to compose the music for his film.
i always interpreted the ticking sounds as the protagonist brandon’s internal clock. brandon lives with a perpetual need to orgasm; he usually does several times throughout the day. brandon’s addiction has caused him to feel restless, so much so that he’s consistently racing towards his next orgasm, hence the ever-ticking clock.
I like movies that remain vague about the why, don't judge during the story and give no salvation in the end.
You know, like Life
Same
Arthouse movies is the name

No salvation? He's going to have fun with the hot chick, happy end
Beautiful as the movie. Mc Queen very talented.

FANTASTIC SONG
Molto intensa questa suite. Grazie
very good (based on thin red line): thanks !!
Indeed, it definitely has a strong Thin Red Line influence, we can hear that Steve McQueen is a huge Hans Zimmer fan.
I need to play this score badly
Brilliant as the film!!

5:00 START / 8:34 FINISH

This song helps me to wrestle with my demons.
this song is my demon

Thank you! Now I know why it sounds similar to something else. :)

Why the clock?

@@DylanoftheDead love it! 👍
@@DylanoftheDead
I think you're right
Or maybe it's just life passing him by
@@DylanoftheDead
Or maybe that's just the addiction eating away at the brain
For me it's not a clock ticking, it's a fapping sound
As much as I love this soundtrack it is just a complete rip off of Hans Zimmer’s “Journey To The Line.”
