- Composed and Conducted by Jerry Goldsmith // Performed by The National Philharmonic Orchestra // Orchestration by Alexander Courage // Recorded by Bruce Botnick // Titles: Theme from the Ghost and the Darkness, The Bridge, Catch a Train, Lions Attack, First Time
Criminally underrated movie. They simply do make movies like they did in the 90's anymore. This one, Congo, the Edge, Twister, Days of Thunder, Last of the Mohicans, Cliffhanger, Stargate, Mask of Zorro, the Shadow, the Phantom, all excellent popcorn entertainment.
It's always been one of my favorites.
You're right on
I'd say this one is a cut above those others though, except maybe Last of the Mohicans
Pure mens film, even though I took my Mrs and her best friend to see it and they both talk about it to this day.
I agree, but I might add that there is spectrum. This movie and Stargate are a level or two above cliffhanger imo
Most underrated movie i"ve ever seen. OMG Jerry was a f*cing genius.
Jerry Goldsmith would've been perfect to score the live action "Sonic the Hedgehog" movies. And this is proof of that 😊.
The opening to this song is so beautiful in my opinion. I loved the train ride scene since it captured the African feel.
Absolutely one of the most underrated movies ever. The acting was superb, the music was hypnotic, and the movie was as on "the edge of your seat" event. Movie and music should have won oscars.
This movie won Oscar Academy award for his Sound effects.. but this is not enough for this Movie.. because it should have got more than 1 or 2 Oscar awards because it deserves much than that... and my always favorite and nonstop movie... i watched many times
Hugely underrated score from the maestro. How this wasn't recognised until years later... amazing. 10:48 is just glorious.
Amin!
Same here. It just sounds so Grand. I saw this movie in the theater back then and loved it.
I grew up with this amazing film, I fell in love with the soundtrack and made me respect Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas even more than I already did, it made me want to visit Africa and the field museum in Chicago. Listening to it now almost had me in tears.
In every aspect this is a wonderful film.
You know it will be a good movie when they hire a composer to come up with completely original symphony music
I saw the Ghost and the Darkness at the Field Museum in June, 2005. Never thought I’d visit Chicago. Glad I did, the museum was excellent, also the Museum of science and Industry!
Catch a Train is one of the most perfect pieces he ever wrote. Tender, poised emotion. I only wish he'd written it out into a concerto.
If I had to pick a favourite Goldsmith score, this one is it.
Hoosiers, Gremlins, Air Force One, Mulan, Mummy, Medicine Man, Forever young, First Knight, Star treks.. god bless Jerry !! I'm still discovering his genius years later. Scores like Explorers / Burbs / Total Recall / The Challenge.. I like John Williams but Jerry did something different each time.
@@TB1M1 Too many great Goldsmith scores, he was always working. Some years he'd break out with 4-5 scores all fantastic.
You chose...wisely.
So would I! It's wonderful
a work of art, one of best soundtracks ever. the movie is one of the best of the 90s
Yes! I had the CD so long ago. Couldn't find a copy again. Haven't searched recently for a digital version. Yay! So happy!
"Even now, if you dare lock eyes with them, you will be afraid!"
Great movie, and of course a great soundtrack.
Locking eye with them.....terrifying!!!
I was there in the museum , and the fear is evident when you look at them ...
Goosepimples all over my body!!!!
I'm reminded of why Jerry Goldsmith is one of my favorite film composers (certainly in the top five). His soundtrack to The Ghost and the Darkness is simply incredible. One of many brilliant soundtracks he's composed.
What a great score from Maestro Jerry Goldsmith- RIP (greets from Vienna)
Canadian men’s figure skater Elvis Stojko used this score in his 1998 Olympic program (where he skated brilliantly, landing 8 triple jumps and won silver, despite skating with a torn groin muscle, from which he keeled over in pain immediately upon finishing the program and literally had to be helped off the ice)
KENYA , Africa, 1898 . A British Military Engineer Lietenant Colonel John Henry Patterson is commisioned to build a bridge on River Tsava and enlarge the Railways in South Africa. Meanwhile the natives are terrorized by a pair of bloodiest Lions named "the ghost" and "the darkness"
+telkines aristoforo *Tsavo
Fantastic movie and Fantastic soundtrack.
Beautiful...beautiful...what a joy to hear music once again.
"Even Now , if you look at them, you will have fear"
I wish Jerry Goldsmith is still alive to score Black Panther. Goldsmith is the king of African-influenced scores; The Ghost and the Darkness, Congo, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, King Solomon's Mines, The Wind and The Lion, even The Mummy (1999).
I do wish Goldsmith was still alive and he has done incredible African influenced scores, but I have to disagree about the Black Panther score. Ludwig Göransson's oscar-winning score for Black Panther (and by extention Creed) was fantastic IMO, and I think he's quite a gifted composer. In fact, he traveled around the villages of West and South Africa with local musicians for months in preparation for composing Black Panther. I don't know if an 88-year-old Goldsmith would have had the stamina to compose as great a score as Göransson did for that film. Most of the MCU movies have totally forgettable scores but that one stands out as one of the better scores in recent years.
@@solaariz well let's just say a 74-year old Goldsmith battling and ravaged with cancer and still had the energy to score Looney Tunes: Back in Action; a score that could rival any of John Powell's adrenaline-pumping animated scores.
As to Black Panther, while Ludwig is certainly one of the more talented composers to come up this generation (and I have nothing against him) but there's a certain gravitas as well as the action scoring that only Goldsmith can deliver. It would have elevated BP greatly IMO.
@@jandreidrn I see what you mean, and I do believe Goldsmith at any age could beat modern composers at their best, same with John Williams. These composers could benefit from a masterclass in scoring from Goldsmith! Still, I wouldn't want Goldsmith to score movies that already have great scores, for instance, I wouldn't suggest he score The Lion King instead of Zimmer or Out of Africa instead of John Barry you know? It would have been interested to see what he'd have done with Black Panther though, the thought alone is enticing. One could simply edit out the Ludwig BP score and replace it with one of Goldsmiths' best to get an idea I guess. Still, all the movie scores you mentioned of Goldsmith (The Ghost and the Darkness, Congo, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, King Solomon's Mines, The Wind and The Lion, even The Mummy) all fantastic, he is the king of African influenced scores as you mentioned! Also the king of elevating a poor film with his gravitas! Cheers!
@@solaariz a pity Goldsmith's name was never elevated into the status enjoyed by John Williams or Hans Zimmer. He's certainly the best of both composers: able to go toe-to-toe with Williams orchestrally while at the same time inventive enough to use electronics like Zimmer. To me Goldsmith and the recently departed Ennio Morricone stands alone in the pantheons of film composers in terms of originality, innovation and inventiveness.
@@jandreidrn Ugh don't get me started on modern Zimmer lol. I think his recent influence has been what changed the film score industry for the worse. Williams has admitted having great admiration for Goldsmiths' work. I'd throw Bernard Herrmann & Basil Poledouris names in the ring with Williams, Goldsmith and Morricone as well. The fact that Goldsmith was racking out 3 to10 quality film & tv scores a year consistently just blows my mind. I love how he has an equally brilliant answer for every John Williams masterpiece, ET vs Poltergiest, Jurrasic Park vs Congo, The Towering Inferno vs The Swarm, Star Wars: A New Hope vs Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Jaws vs Alien, Close Encounters vs Capricorn One, Superman vs Supergirl. The list is endless! I find myself listening to Goldsmith more than any other composer though, possibly due to the fact that many of these recordings were very hard to find prior to TH-cam. Mainly though because they're just so darn fantastic!
Genius you are Jerry and so sadly missed I salute thee!
10:50 chills _every_ time!
10:46, my favorite part.
Me too!
Mine too but if officially starts at @11:00
Minha parte favorita da música também
HELL YEAH!!!
Me too!
Welcome to the film that brings adventure, excitement, bromance, guns, beasts, racial comradery, decency, and meanings of life.
"I am the Devil." -Charles Remmington
The soundtrack always brings me back to the movie. Oh what a hypnosis.
Great Theme - but what else is to expect from Jerry Goldsmith. That was his strength...
Jerry Goldsmith at his greatest.
Starting at 3:51 you will even hear music that sounded like hyenas which resonates with nature. This film score is amazing. I didn’t care for the movie much but saw it in theaters twice just for the music…
Right absolutely
it is more like zebra than hyenas, don't you ?
I went to the Field Museum in Chicago and saw the "Ghost" and the "Darkness" lions for the sake of the movie. "You will be afraid." The were stuffed and converted from being rugs. Poor beasts - poor murdering beasts. I loved the movie and Val Kilmer.
What a story teller you can forget the film but not his story.
10:50
Me and the boys when a wasp flies into the classroom.
Goldsmith was the undisputed master of the adventure score.
The thing I love about this soundtrack is that it has parts which are relaxing and then soothing. Then out of nowhere, there is suspence which is scary. It's like a bit of everything thrown into the one track which is unique.
Because they are always there in savanna watching.....the ghost and the darkness
Amazing film the music is simply mind altering
One shot !!!. Superbbbb movie.
But it was a lioness...not the brothers..
Man, that buildup at +4:10, and those strings.... They just don't make film music like this any more.
reformedfruit The genius of Jerry Goldsmith. He also had the buildup in "The Final Game" in Rudy and so many others.
Beautiful music for a beautiful continent 💞
2020???
When I first heard the first theme, it stuck in my head for an entire week.
Jerry Goldsmith hacia magia, su música transformaba las peliculas
cuales otras conoces? es excelente su música
tienes "Rudy, camino a la gloria", "Desafio total" o "Powder, pura energía", entre otras, hay mucho donde elegir
Que gran infancia cuando vi esta pelicula con mi papa y mi hermano
que buenos momentos
Ich liebe diese Musik!!
ich auch
Tanto la pelicula como la musica todo en su totalidad es espetacular , maravillosa (soy de Argentina)
meus parabéns muito bom alguém valoriza a trilha sonora desse maravilhoso filme
This plays in my head when traveling in the high desert of New Mexico...especially the Magdalena Mountains west of Socorro. Truly wild and beautiful. You can see forever and no one gets in your way.
One of top Jerry tracks, still makes hairs stand up
I'd say this is my all time favourite of Mr. Goldsmith's work.
Just spent our weekend in the South African bush, definitely a highlight sitting amongst three lions, not 5 meters away, one night hearing them roar right around us.
What an awe inspiring sound 😱😱😱
Awesom jerry goldsmith
I remember watching this movie as a kid and loving it.
Same
@@kerrymountford5838 Me too
+Robert Corbell Wait a minute you saw this movie as a kid? But it’s rated R (Meaning it’s not family-friendly).
@@deshaunbethea5254 A year or two after it came out on video. Video stores were far more lax than theaters in the 90s.
Amazing movie
I just looked up a photo of them on display at the museum and they still look creepy, very life like :)
Wonderful creation tsavo 🦁
To Catch a Train reveals just how very good Goldsmith was: a short, tender scene underscored for the most part, but ravishing none the less.
The music touches the soul.
You still can. I'm going there on a safari someday. I always promised myself that. Even if I have to go it alone.
The lions are on display at The Field Museum in Chicago. A couple of inconsistencies from the film that I noted: the lions don't look as fearsome when stuffed and they were main-less males. I LOVE this soundtrack though, one of the very best. Since the movie I read about everything I could get my hands on re: this historical event. The Field museum has some hard copy stuff for sale that I found of interest, but quite touristy - surprise, surprise.
This soundtrack reminds me of Africa. I’ve never been to Africa thought. Great movie.
The lion don`t sleeps to Night!
Love this soundtrack and movie. Puts me straight in the Serengeti.
Esse filme é incrível, trilha sonora e história sensacionais!!!! Essa trilha sempre vai ficar marcada 10:45
Everything about this film was top tier
um grande filme uma ótima trilha sonora
Nunca la dan en cable a esta película, que es hermosa, y si repiten otras pavadas!!!
i think the point was to see these lions up close and personal and i think he is right, it would be creepy, no matter WHERE exactly they are displayed.
They're actually in The Field Museum in Chicago. I wanna go there someday.
They're about 1/3 the original size bits it's wild to see them
Great music forever great musicians excellent realy big screen theater ical back ground music
Thanks for the info. But I'm still surprised Goldman doesn't like it. I think it's such a grand story. I've loved it for a long time. And it's interesting to hear that the writer, perhaps the biggest fan of the original material of all, is not a fan of the finished product. Yes, he is attached and has a vision, but the movie is a beast of its own. It's not like Michael Douglass did a bad job with Remington AKA Redbeard's role.
Watch this about 3 times a month.
6:48 to 8:18 is very moving to me.
that is awesome.
I think it depends where your from for this movie to hit the heart properly. One of my favs for sure. 👍
Essa música é incrível, fico até arrepiado
I came to this looking for the song at 10:50
rousing soundtrack
The ultimate true horror story.
Great Movie, Based on Fact !
Fantastic .......
10:52
I always hum that when I'm walking home LOL
do you know anything about those chants and the meaning behind them they sound awesome and gives me chills everytime i hear
I agree with you 100%.
As far as I remember this was another 3 week replacement scoring job for Goldsmith (one of many during the 1990's). I can't remember who the original composer was. It can get a bit ridiculous at times: Goldsmith was the 3rd composer to work on 'The River Wild' for example.
0:55 to 2:00 is the most awe part of the song which makes me wish I had a instrument to join in
9:01 that music is something that gives me goosebumps
"My God.....you sorted it out"!
Wish i could see the lions in a European museum one day ;)
They are not very impressive. Terrible old taxidermy. Still....they were awful good at being maneaters.
awesome music
No se como Val Kilmer no se gano el oscar con esa exelente actiacion del coronel Jonh Paterson.
poyay poyay poyay OY YOY YOY YOY
Wish Douglas had not hijacked the script and let the crew make the actual story, the real story is more crazy and insane but he wanted his character to have a bigger role.
That being said I love the film and the book
Can you explain what happens
How did Douglas hijack the script?
@@KillShot-ln6mn he demanded his character be expanded majorly, Pattersin killed both lions himself with little help, he felt often rather alone, singular man swallowed by Africa feeling, in the film he almost becomes an apprentice when in reality he was figuring it out himself, the director still holds a grudge over it
thank you!!
forever movie
"The Devil has come to Savo!"
I wonder what it's like to see the two lions that are in the Smithsonian, the ones the movie was based on? I can imagine it being fascinating, but creepy at the same time, knowing what they had done.
They are at the Field Museum i Chicago.
WoW, was ein Sundtrack zu einem solch einfallsreichen Film, gefällt mir; Namaste
The best part of this film is that it is based on a true story. The ONLY documented case of Male lions acting as a team to hunt. And to hunt MAN.
"... the lions' skins were sold to the Chicago Field Museum in 1924 for a sum of $5,000. The skins arrived at the museum in very poor condition. The lions were reconstructed and are now on permanent display along with their skulls. "
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_Man-Eaters
It was truly creepy.
whats the song from 10:52. Just like Jared Maldon i also always hum that when i am walking home :) wanna have that song .. :)
Haven’t seen this movie in years.
Once the wife leaves for work, I put this on and hunt down the cat with nerf guns.
