'The Hateful Eight’: How Ennio Morricone Wrote His First Western Score in 40 Years

Variety ^

[Perdogg]

Quentin Tarantino first met composer Ennio Morricone at the Cannes premiere of “Inglourious Basterds.” A longtime fan of Spaghetti Westerns like “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” featuring some of Morricone’s most iconic work, and “The Grand Duel,” scored by Morricone contemporary Luis Bacalov, Tarantino used some of the maestro’s work from “The Battle of Algiers,” “The Big Gundown” and “Allonsanfàn” in the film. He also later used elements from “Two Mules for Sister Sara” and “The Hellbenders” in the 2012 slavery drama “Django Unchained,” as well as an original song, “Ancora Qui.”

Please, this is discussion of Ennio Morricone's music, it is not about Quentin Tarantino. Thank you. The Soundtrack is out this Friday.

I have the title theme from “Once Upon A Time In The West” on my tablet. It’s evocative. It’s friggin’ brilliant!

[BeauBo]

It is a useful reminder to boycott hateful Tarantino’s movies though, for him going to the black lives matter rally and calling cops murderers.

[Perdogg]

I was hoping he would pull in Susanna Rigacci on this soundtrack.

I may actually go see it because of what Kurt Russell said in defense of the 2nd Amendment.

I just want to hear the soundtrack and maybe tag along.

Morricone is a musical icon
we used to blast the Good The Bad And The Ugly all over Kent state on loud Speakers on a Sunday afternoon, People would whistle that theme all week.

I have all his stuff on my iPods, which I play through the stereo on my Harley.

Once, at a downtown 4 way stop sign, The Ecstasy of Gold came up on my playlist, as I sat there, with 3 other cars.

The other drivers looked shocked for a second, and then they all started laughing.

Took us about 5 minutes for somebody to make a move and get through the intersection.

Stop sign showdown.

Once in a lifetime thing.

It was epic.

:)

*Really* reminds me of The Ecstasy of Gold.
