20世纪80年代中期因《玉米儿童》、《偷月情》、《Vamp》等配乐作品而闻名的作曲家Jonathan Elias，近日接下为动作片《Pathfinder》作曲的任务，该片由曾出品过《德州电锯杀人狂》的德国导演Marcus Nispel执导，是Nils Gaup那部获得好评的同名电影的翻拍片。《Pathfinder》讲述了一个由印第安人养大的孩子对抗北欧海盗的故事。

by Jason AnkenyPathfinder: Legend of the Ghost Warrior boasts few of the hallmarks of Jonathan Elias' previous film scores, eschewing his signature electronic themes and textures in favor of a disappointingly bland and monotonous symphonic approach virtually indistinguishable from earlier entries in the sword and sorcery genre. With its emphasis on sweeping orchestral arrangements, celestial choral passages, and angelic boy sopranos, Pathfinder most closely resembles the over the top heroic grandeur of Hans Zimmer's Gladiator, arguably the benchmark for a score of this type, but Elias offers few if any personal twists on the formula -- moreover, the melodies seem mailed in, and thematic development is virtually nil.
