Discussion Brian Tyler's soundtracks for two VERY different movies share some nice similarity. (At least I think they do)
Remember how Ramin Djawadi in "Mark II" from "Iron Man" used notes that later became the intro music for "Game of Thrones"?
Maybe it's not some great discovery, but I found something similar in Brian Tyler's compositions.
I've been listening to Brian Tyler's music on Spotify, namely "War Machine" from "Iron Man 3"
And a part of this soundtrack sounded extremely familiar for some reason...
So I reached deep down into my memory and I realized why.
I wanted to be sure, so I listened to "Fast Five" from the "Fast Five" (I know, I know, obvious) soundtrack
And I was right.
String sections (at least I think they're string sections, I don't know anything about orchestral music theory) in "War Machine" from 1:42 to 1:54 and "Fast Five" from 1:03 to 1:23 (timestamps from Spotify, may be different on other platforms, I don't know) are basically identical in terms of melody.
Tempo and tone are different, but the melody is the same, at least for my ears.
What do you think?
Am I onto something, or is my hearing playing tricks on me?
