John Williams talks film music with Gene Shalit

[ESJY123]

@luthier you so dead on with that observation. I actually busted out laughing at his smirk. Glad he held back like a professional but he looked so close to losing it right on the air LMAO.

[WaNkInGsQuIrReL]

Mustache.......

[aaronthebox]

HAHAHA IM GENE SHALIT NOW, BYE!!!!

[ginerzinwonderland]

wtf @ interviewer..

[brett1051]

john williams' forte was in his incidental music. His big themes for example, the superman theme use the classics for the motets. In that case....see Richard Strauss Death and Res.E.T.....Howard Hanson's Romantic Symp and parts of Samuel Barber for the main theme. Not to undermine his credit most of the great composer steal from the past.Peace

[dwalden74]

Do you realize what kind of genius you have to be to write music like that, and time it to the entire movie, in the course of 2-3 months?? Blows my mind...

[outterspaces]

Apart from the comic comments... I wonder: Where will film music go to when Williams is no longer among us..So many have copied him, so many want to be him, so many failed to be him.. I wonder...

Alexander Desplat might be a good choice :)

[boogiebuddy01]

[pointreyes6]

[T16Akatsuki]

[jazz4]

Shalit scares the Shalit out of me.

[CircleBastiat]

I love Gene, but the guy, no matter how serious he tries to be, always appears so comical to me. 0:29 for instance

[vividwatch47]

Will somebody please kidnap Gene Shalit and set fire to that hair and mustache?

[gruntelite117]

I love John Williams :) Don't PANIC ROOM, I'm not going to WILLIAM HURT you. I just want your TANGO AND CASH, so just PAY IT FORWARD. and we'll all be HAPPY GILMORE.

You're all talking about the wrong thing. You all need to be less childish meaning;

THIS FILM IS ABOUT JOHN WILLIAMS. IT'S ABOUT HIS FILM MUSIC. YOU ARE ALL WANKERS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!!

[UFOSPACE1999]

...and the last 7 minutes of film was edited into the music, Steven didn't want to destroy the beautiful piano concerto that Williams wrote. The power of Music.
