There’s two motifs within the soundtrack. There’s the typical orchestral score that is more traditional, and the thundering, ominous electric organ sound that punctuates specific parts of the movie. I assume what you’re referring to is the latter.

It’s not meant to be a moving, emotional piece. It’s a raw, guttural reaction. It’s all together foreboding, terrifying, and resonant. It definitely took me by surprise the first time I heard it, but as the film progressed it ended up being almost like a callback of sorts. Like you’d almost forget about it, then the organ would hit and you’d immediately be taken back to that feeling of dread.

I really appreciated a totally different approach to scoring a war epic, and it’s one of the most memorable aspects of the film in my opinion.
