How fucking amazing is John Williams? Damn. I'm in the midst of a huuuuuuuge Harry Potter movie kick right now in anticipation of Half-Blood Prince and I just found out that he did the score for the first three HP movies which includes, of course, "Hedwig's Theme" which is the main theme of the series and has gone on to be used in the other two HP movies and is just a wonderful piece of music. You know it even if you may think you don't.
This is that real shit
And obviously there's his work on Star Wars, which is probably the greatest and most epic work I've ever heard a composer do for a film series. The famous tune played over the opening rolling intro, "Duel of the Fates", "Imperial March", and then whatever the hell the "Luke gazing out at the twin suns theme" is actually called, etc., etc. Beautiful shit.
Add on top of that all the stuff he's done for Steven Schpeelsborg. The fucking thrilling Indy Jones theme and the iconic themes for Jaws (this is undeniably classic), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Jurassic Park. Even his lesser appreciated work on shitty movies like Home Alone and Hook is great. I'm forgetting a lot of other stuff he's done, too.
I'm sure there are other composers who have written a lifetime of great tunes for movies but this guy deserves all the praise he gets. He's the biggest name in the business, and that's how it should be. Look at that body of work. Jesus Christ. This guy, this motherfucker John Williams, in terms of cultural impact and creating music that will last forever...he's got to be one of the most underrated musicians of all-time. Peace out.
Oh yeah, and if there actually are some film composers that you like better than Mr. Williams I'd like to get their names so I can listen to their stuff. Thanks. Peace out again.
