"The Running Man" draws attention for director Edgar Wright's stylish musical direction.
The recently screened film The Running Man (director Edgar Wright) is receiving praise for the director's signature rhythmic direction and Glen Powell's explosive action synergy, as well as for a lingering message.
The Running Man is a chase-action blockbuster film in which unemployed family man Ben Richards (Glen Powell) participates in a global survival program to survive cruel pursuers for 30 days for a huge prize. Edgar Wright, who gained attention for rhythmic musical direction in Baby Driver and Last Night in Soho, once again adds listening pleasure through The Running Man.
Edgar Wright, who attracted attention for his tasteful direction that uses existing music at the right moments and aligns gunshots, engine noise and action moves to the beat, expands the musical world even further in The Running Man to deliver highly polished entertainment. Audiences said, "The beat of Ben Richards' running and the BGM match perfectly, so adrenaline explodes in every escape scene" (Instagram_da****), "There are moments when the music falls into place like a beat in tense scenes, and the thrill that rhythm gives is so good that I watched with my hands sweaty the whole time" (Instagram_lo****), "As expected from the director of Baby Driver, the rhythm of action and music matched wonderfully, keeping the tension throughout" (Instagram_yu****), and other rave reviews are pouring in for The Running Man's rhythmic music.
Following Baby Driver and Scott Pilgrim, music director Steven Price, who teamed with Edgar Wright for the fifth time, began working on the music before shooting to create an immersive environment on set and built two musical streams to add dimensionality to the film. Music director Steven Price said, "The two scores in the film have different characters but intertwine and interact in various ways. The music for the game show is light and lively.
The film's score itself overwhelms the atmosphere while containing a deep resonance. Because Ben Richards' story is about risking everything to protect his family, emotion is deeply soaked into the music. That emotion is the core factor that runs through the entire film." He raised expectations for music that would add immersion to the film's entertainment elements and Ben Richards' emotions. With musical direction that maximizes audiovisual pleasure, The Running Man is driving box office success and offering audiences a powerful catharsis. Now showing to much acclaim.
