I just saw Captain Phillips staring Tom Hanks and directed by Paul Greengrass and I have to say I liked it. I thought it was great movie, long, but great. So if you can sit through a 2 hr and 14 min movie go see it.
From time to time I enjoy a great soundtrack and something just so happen to catch my ear towards the end of Captain Phillips. It was the score. I kept saying to myself this melody sounds just like Inception. I broke out my Inception soundtrack on my iPod on the way home and it was
Time, the last track for Inception.
I looked up the track I heard in the theater and it is
Safe Now. Which just so happens to be the last track for Captain Phillips. Coincidence? I dug a little deeper and decided to listen to the entire soundtrack some of it sounding similar to Hans Zimmer. For those who don't know, Zimmer is the man behind The Dark Knight, Inception, The Da Vinci Code and countless other great soundtracks.
The man behind Captain Phillips is not Zimmer but it is Henry Jackman. A graduate from Eton and Oxford college with,
" An avid interest in technology and contemporary culture. " Jackman actually worked along side Zimmer which makes sense to why you hear similarities. So was that last track
Safe Now paying homage to Zimmer and his track
Time? In my opinion maybe he was, but I don't know for sure. You be the judge take a listen to the tracks below.
