Music (Score)

The score for this movie was written by a guy named Alexandre Desplat. And by "a guy," we mean "a French composer that's killed it composing for such diverse movies as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Godzilla, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and Argo."

Monsieur Desplat has an Academy Award, seven Academy Award nominations, two BAFTA Awards, a Golden Globe, and two Grammys to his name. And it's not hard to see why—there are some points in this movie where the combination of great acting and Desplat's score are bound to get you choked up.

For example, check out the scene where Bertie puts on the recording of himself reciting Hamlet and notice how subtly Desplat's music comes in behind the reading. Or just listen to the little piano song that comes in on the final seconds of the movie when Bertie and Logue share one final look of friendship. It's all so sweet and emotional that it reminds you how effective classical music still is in movies.
