Richard Penna 3,683 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah I don't like the fact that the music gets elevated because of the serious subject matter of the film.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 John Williams' string writing can be very thick, and it takes a certain kind of orchestra to make that come alive, to bring out the subtly moving lines.
