It gets cold and rainy here in Germany during the fall/winter and the train station is a walk that’s a few miles away.
I like it. Walking is good for me and I like to see the countryside.
But I REALLY like walking in the rain with some super moody, super synth-heavy score playing in my ears.
I don’t know. It just fits.
People talk a lot of shit about this movie, but I really liked it. It felt like the end - the unequivocal end. No arguments about this one. No swapped-out paramedic, no climbing out of a collapsed mine into a stream, no being rescued by men in black.
There is no argument that this is the end of Michael Myers without ignoring this trilogy as a whole.
Which I’m sure is what they’ll do.
While Halloween Kills was heavy-handed, I really liked the concept of a town becoming a mob. Feels natural. And, with Ends, I liked how a basically decided that they needed SOMEONE to hate just to make themselves feel better and I loved how they all decided en masse to let that shit go and move on.
It’s a good ending. With a couple weird moments, I’ll admit.
But the score? Fantastic. I love it when composers build a score that is meant to be played as one piece of music. It gives the album a much more cohesive feel and increased my enjoyment exponentially. And it’s John Carpenter. Come on. Dude’s a legend in the studio.
Say what you will about the inaccurate mining of 80s nostalgia that’s been going on for a long time now, but I absolutely LOVE that everyone is reaching for synth scores to be the soundtracks.
It’s a great time to be alive and walking in the cold rain to the train station.
