And The Oscar Goes To…
The New York Times posed a relevant question in today’s opinion section: Why is there no Oscar for Best Title Sequence? Since we don’t pay too much attention to this particular annual event, we assumed the category had already been established given the groundbreaking creations of Saul Bass, Kyle Cooper, and Maurice Binder.
Get a load of The New York Times top-5 list of “Best Title Sequences” along with Saul Bass on movie titles when you continue…
1. “WALL-E,” Susan Bradley and Jim Capobianco/Pixar. These poignant end titles, which show humans and robots flourishing on a revived Earth, offer a quick history of art, from cave paintings to van Gogh. They then proceed to retell the entire movie, this time in the pixelated style of old video games.
2. “Tropic Thunder,” Kyle Cooper/Prologue. These titles feature Tom Cruise’s best performance in years as he dances to “Get Back” by Ludacris. They’re intercut with graphic freeze-frames of the rest of the cast.
3. “Slumdog Millionaire,” Matt Curtis. Another dance sequence, this one in grand Bollywood style. After a film full of difficult and sad struggles, this joyous, cathartic sequence, set to “Jai Ho” by A. R. Rahman, gives us hope that the main characters will actually live happily ever after.
4. “Iron Man,” Danny Yount/Prologue. Amazing in a comic-book way, these take us inside the blueprints for Tony Stark’s armor. The soundtrack, appropriately, unavoidably, is “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath.
5. “Mamma Mia!,” Matt Curtis. The end titles toss off the pretense of winding a story around the songs and give us a straight-up, super-’70s tribute, complete with glitzy rainbow prism effects and Meryl Streep singing her heart out.
Houses and cars are not cheap and not everybody can buy it. Nevertheless, mortgage loans was invented to help different people in such kind of hard situations.
