Saw the new video. Watched the beginning. Was intrigued. Stopped it. Saw the movie. Continued your video. Big thank you.

This long shot and the accompanying score is one of my favorites in film score history. Also, this movie breaks my heart every time.

This movie is such a treasure... the way it is shot and how the music is enhancing the story is just so so good, it's way too underrated for how good it is... a story that truely breaks your heart and makes you value each moment that you share with your loved ones.

My good gracious. One of my favorite scores, and favorite pieces of music. Mind blown.

This video essay absolutely blew my mind. It's almost unfathomable to me that such a stunning piece of cinema only snagged one of its Oscar nominations, but after seeing this, it's absolutely clear why it was for Best Score. Wow. Instant sub to your channel. Thank you for this.

one of my fave film scores of all time. It's so nostalgic, melancholy and also dreamy. All i can think of is Robbie and Cecilia's love for eachother and how tragic it all is. And even more sad is that I pine for a love like that in my own life even if it is really tragic as well just to feel teh same level of emotion that this score gives me lol

I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on Zimmer’s use of Elgar’s Nimrod Variations in Nolan’s “Dunkirk” - or Thomas Newman’s haunting score in “1917,” especially at the important moments that use solo cello. Thank you for your amazing work ❤️

Watching this always brings tears. It is perhaps THE most breathtaking depiction of the lads on Dunkirk ever and the great British resolve to keep calm and carry on. It is a masterpiece. I cannot even imagine the horror and uncertainty these exposed men on that beach had to endure. And how they were delivered back to Blighty to reconvene and fight another day to slay the Nazis and save Western society in general. These men were young and absolute heroes. What history. And what beauty is this video. Thank you so much for posting.

I love your content so much. I don’t understand how you haven’t absolutely blown up yet. You put in so much effort and it shows

Music design of this movie is incredible, at least for a complete layman as me. It emphasises every scene and sets tone for very complex emotions it brings forth. You really need to watch it to get how sinister simple typewriter clacking can get and how much hope and anxiety music can produce. Another great video, thanks once again.

not only a fabulous subject, but your videos have a remarkable production quality unmatched by anyone else i can find on the music scene of youtube, in whatever form you could name your work is amazing and i always get excited to see your videos in my notifications, i hope you keep up the amazing work

Thank you for this video. I feel like Dario Marianelli is hugely underrated and powerful. I would love to see you do a video on his work for the movie Agora. It's long been one of my favorites and is one of the most emotionally potent movie scores I've ever heard. Please keep up your excellent work.

that final lines made me burst into tears sir, thank you!

Thank you for this. I used to listen to this soundtrack everyday for years. Dario Marianelli's music is probably the best thing in this movie (aside from everything of course). I feel like the movie and the soundtrack is such an underrated piece of art rarely discussed in film circles. I have never seen anything else that marries the diagetic and non-diagetic sound so well. One of the reasons why I cried like a baby at the end of my first viewing is not just because how sad / hopeful the story ends, but how Dario Marianelli captured the emotion so well in that closing scene at the beach. It was so fucking perfect. Every thematic elements came together in that final scene. I love it so much! You raised a good point here saying that the scenes with music are purely Briony's POV. I have to take note of that on my next rewatch. :)

What a beautiful essay. Your work is simply magnificent

I absolutely love your work! I appreciate your attention to detail not only of the music but of the whole narrative, your understanding of storytelling and the gorgeous editing of the video. Your channel is something to behold, thank you very much for sharing your work

Gosh still one of my favourite score of all time, never fails to make me cry, I love Dario Marionelli's work so much

I have never watched this film. But I feel like I know ever feeling happened. You have just elevated everything

I want this soundtrack on vinyl so badly! I listen to this score all the time and remember seeing this movie at the cinema back when it came out and i was only 14. The elegy for dunkirk was one the first classical pieces that really made me fall in love with the genre and sometimes i just youtube that scene to watch and listen. Beautiful music, thanks for the vid.

Such a beautiful essay and as tear jerking as your wonderful Nutcracker analysis.

Yes I've been wanting you to make this video for so long!!!

Each year i'd re-watch this movie. The heart-wrenching story with its engaging melody actually lifted me out of a highly distressful period. I'd always be grateful to the author Ian McEwan and people who crafted this masterpiece on screen.

Ayyyy! Thank you for another wicked video analysis!!!! I loved this score so much! ❤️

Brilliant essay. So moving and it deepened my appreciation, not only for this film in particular but for the intelligence and talent behind all the moving parts of art form of filmmaking. Thank you.

Thank you for this. Dario Marionelli is an absolute legend and truly underappreciated

Absolutely stunning video. Thank you so much. I've always loved this film, and being not from a musical background myself have always wondered at this film's score and how it effects me so much. This video perfectly captures the film and core and it's beauty. Amazing stuff!

Man! You are an incredible storyteller. I cried at the end.

Brilliant work! I am truly gracious for this channel and look forward to watching every video.

Beautiful work as always, thank you

Where were you all my life? This is one of my favorite pieces of music, and you did an excellent job analyzing it!

Thank you! Your essay deepened my appreciation for “Elegy” and the soundtrack as a whole! 🙏

Your channel is genuinely my favourite on youtube, serving as such a big inspiration for me. I wondered if you were aware of Michael Nyman's scores where he used a band rather than solo piano. There are some brilliant pieces like Time Lapse and An Eye for Optical Theory? These soundtracks just sound sooo good.

This is brilliant! Your videos deserve more recognition, so well crafted and put together - keep it up!!

Excellent analysis of one of the great film scores- thank you!

I loved this film when I saw it in theaters, and immediately bought the soundtrack. The gorgeous piano tracks accompanied me through literary criticism papers in college.

Wow. One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. Its made me want to watch the film.

Just watched the film yesterday, perfect timing!

I don't know much of anything about classical music, but Howard Shore's work in The Lord of the Rings illuminated for me the importance of a score. It was that score that prompted me to make a "score" playlist. Dario Marianelli's work in Pride and Prejudice soon got added, as did John Barry's work in Dances With Wolves. Next came Trevor Jones score for Last of the Mohicans and In the Name of the Father. Now through your channel I've found more of Marianelli's work that I can add to my list, and even more than that, a gateway towards understanding and appreciating orchestral music in general (the next video I'm anxious to watch is your exploration of Elgar's Enigma, which I've just realized is already on my list, as it formed part of the amazing score for Shekhar Kapur's masterful 1998 film Elizabeth) . Many many thanks for all the obvious hard work you put into your videos, and for making them accessible to a total newb like me.

My guy be posting such beautiful videos like it ain't nothing before this channel blows up (as it should)

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

I have just discovered your channel and I'm in awe of your work... I'm a huge fan of movie soundtracks, I love listening to them again and again to identify leitmotivs and such, but I absolutely do not have your skills when it comes to analyzing music, so this is all really incredible to watch. If I may ask, how do you create the transparent scores you superimpose on the videos? Do you just reproduce all of this yourself, by ear?

Brilliant editing

Wow you're an incredible channel, keep up the amazing work

Recently watched this film for the 20th time. Darios music is not appreciated enough. So thank you for your work 🖤

Thank you for this wonderful sharing.☀️👍

Beautiful explanation.

nolan only had about 300 people in his movie on the beach. this was fantastic

Wonderful content truly

Might not be a perfect movie, but it's definetly a perfect scene with a perfect musical score. Great video! Thanx!!!

It's great! Thank you!

Best channel ever! AMAZING MUSIC HERE.....

Great video about a movie I’ve seen many times and love very much.

thank you one of the greatest movies ever made and now I can better appreciate the music score

thank you for this❤🙏

I fkn love these vids!

This is quite spectacular.

Ending of the video hit hard.

Amazing video

Wonderful!

Great content - stunningly well written and edited as always! Any chance you might do a video on the music of the Soulsborne series?

I love your work! Have you done a video on Children of Men? One of my favourite film scores of all time by John Tavener.

Would love a video or 2 on the music of 'The Green Mile' and 'The Shawshank Redemption'- just recently found your channel, love it

I'm getting through all your videos - I love your work! Please could you do one on 1917? Would love to hear what you thought of 'The Night Window'!

good video

Reading Atonement 15 years after watching the movie when it first came out in theaters. I'm sorry to say that I forgot most of the movie and am usually having scenes from Dunkirk pop into my mind when reading Robbie's time in the army.

The highlight of this soundtrack is title track 'Atonement'. It is a quietly magestic.

Sublime

Amazing work man. Please do one or more videos on 1917!

so underrated

please explain and talk about my two favourite composers Claude Debussy and Erik Satie and keep up the good work 👌

Wow, this is some truly remarkable analysis! This idea of trans- made me also think of There Will Be Blood which might be an idea for one of your future videos. Thank you for all your work!

After the deadly storm of doomsday swept through, the setting sun stretched Dunkirk's beach in a long, narrow shadow. Dark bloodstains adorned the muddy military attire, while souls and body fragments lay scattered on the ground. The acrid smoke of gunpowder carried away mournful spirits, which dissipated amidst the requiems of the remaining young soldiers. On the rickety Ferris wheel, the rotating carousel of endless reincarnation, and the stranded sunken ships, one can still see bullet holes and rust stains, carving the eternal crimson scars on the hearts of the lost.

Older stories had happy endings, despite there being more terrible events in the past. It seems strange that we tell stories with such sad endings now. Are we just looking for something we lack, like they were?

Hits

❤️

This scene and this arrangement absolutely flawed me when I saw it years ago. It's devastatingly beautiful.

What is Adam Neeley doing in this movie?

Will you do an analysis for 1917? 🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

👌

I heard that Atonement's typewriter music was so great that even Skrillex *ahem* borrowed it.

im want to cry but i cant im in public omg

I'm wondering who can be so insensitive and poisonous to give dislike

Could you please cover the music to The Schindler's List? There you could grow beyond yourself I believe.

Joe wrights Dunkirk > Nolan’s Dunkirk

There is no atonement in this film. I love and hate watching this film. Knowing what happens to Robbie boils my piss every time.

The film never lives up to that tracking shot. Honestly, one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema history. So perfectly lit. Yet large amounts of that film are trite trash.

This is beautiful However it is the most mansplained thing I have ever heard.
