A good score should have a point of view all of its own. It should transcend all that has gone before, stand on its own two feet and still serve the movie. A great soundtrack is all about communicating with the audience, but we all try to bring something extra to the movie that is not entirely evident on screen.
"Hans Florian Zimmer" is a film score/film composer and music producer. He has composed music for over 150 films, including film scores for The Lion King, Crimson Tide (film)/Crimson Tide, The Thin Red Line (1998 film)/The Thin Red Line, Gladiator (2000 film)/Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Batman in film#Christopher Nolan/The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, 12 Years a Slave (film)/12 Years a Slave and Interstellar (film)/Interstellar.
Zimmer spent the early part of his career in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States. He is the head of the film music division at DreamWorks studios and works with other composers through the company that he founded, Remote Control Productions.
Zimmer's works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. He has received four Grammy Awards, three Classical BRIT Awards, two Golden Globes, and an Academy Award. He was also named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily Telegraph.

Trust me, if you're working on a $70 million movie and you're the last guy, you feel all that weight on your shoulders.
A soundtrack can carry a visual along, be an unforgettable addition to the film and sometimes there is a small moment of something really great, which exists as beautiful music on its own merit.
When (producers) are going, 'This scene really doesn't work and we need some help here,' and you realize what they're saying is you can make or break this movie.
