I guess I always loved his music, unknowingly. The music of Pearl Harbor has been my favorite since the first time I watched the movie years ago, and only recently have I discovered that it’s by the same composer who also wrote the scores of dozens of other films, many of which I love (Da Vinci Code, A Beautiful Mind, to name a few). It always amazes me the ability of music to elicit such intense emotions, especially in movies, and I think this is especially true of Zimmer’s music. They always have a beautiful melodic quality that just goes directly to your heart.
