mrbellamy 6,286 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 You’re not really supposed to think it through that far, anyway. It’s not a dig at anybody, it’s just a joke that if Spielberg could have a classical giant do his movies, he’d take him, but he can’t so John Williams is his first pick who’s not in a grave. It’s simultaneously flattering and humbling, that’s why JW loves it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think they were definitely figures from classical music. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote An wen hat er wohl gedacht? JW: "Womöglich an Brahms. Ich frage mich auch, was Mozart dazu eingefallen wäre. Wie auch immer, ich habe die Chance bekommen, und ich hoffe, ich bin dem Film gerecht geworden".---Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 17.08.2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
