Wow, fantastic! Both of them have had such a masive impact on the world of cinema. Williams is a delight. I grew up listening to his music at my friend’s place as we sat about making designs and miniature sets based on those movies. Those soundtracks still transport me (though Jaws kept me out of deep water for years)!
The only thing I don’t like about this interview is that it wasn’t longer. Would have liked to have heard them talk about every film they’ve done together.
I love the simple emotional cues that John Williams uses in his scores. 2 notes, 5 notes, 12 notes, that’s all he needs to make us feel something raw and pure, and it seals a moment of the film into our hearts and minds. Absolute brilliance
Ha that’s weird, I just posted another video of these interviews and said that music plays such an important role in things. From films to shows to video games. Without music, our world would be so much worse. Spielberg is one of my favorite directors of all time and John is one of my favorite music composers as well.
Also, surprised there hasn’t been a Colbert show directed by Spielberg yet haha. I hope he managed to do one of those, cause they are hilarious and awesome. Could have John scoring it too.
Hey, when all you hear is one or two notes… that pause puts you on the edge of your seat waiting for what comes next… you KNOW there’s more coming….It’s really quite brilliant. Subconscious suspense to go with the overt suspense of looking out over the water. Brilliant.

ReplyTheese two… Actually, say what you may, but if George Lucas was there two what a great trio of artists.
