Does EG make you think of any type of music? Like if the movie came out what would be the main song for the movie and why.

My thought is...
Finch-Ender
Download
Listen
Then you will no why

My opinion is that John Williams or Howard Shore should do the score for the movie. I don't think any modern genre of music will cut it for a story as deep as Ender's Game.

I think "The Matrix" is a fairly major sci-fi classic, and the music for that is kind of edgy (I'm on my mom's computer so I didn't check out the download). I'm just pointing up that your typical orchestral war epic music isn't necessarily the best way to go. Ender's Game is also a psychological thriller. It's not the typical "Good guys prevail in the end" war story.

I'm not saying the music should be exactly like the Matrix, and maybe that music will sound really dated in a few more years. I just don't see a typical John Williams score. Maybe the guy who does X-files, Mark Snow.

Well put all the star wars orchestras aside right now. Im saying if you could pick a song that you like for the movie, not some symphanny. Matrix songs are good i might add that might not be bad.

A Matrix song? I'd have to disagree there. Rage Against The Machine and other rebellious, punk-rock tunes would just ruin the emotional rhythm of the movie. Neo was cyberpunk. Ender's innocent.

Oh, and I downloaded Finch-Ender. I'll tell you right now: Terrible song. Dashboard Confessionals didn't really demean Ender's name, but this song right here...ugh, no way.

thats your opinion but imo rage against the machine wouldnt suit enders game. He is "innoncent" rage isnt. The finch song ender i think is a good song. I dont think it demeans it in any. Maybe you just dont no what good music is. But its you opinion so what do i no
