Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Me neither. But then again, I haven't seen the last two Spielbergs either so what does that tell you.
I suggest a full frontal assault with automated laser monkeys, scalpel mines, and acid.

War Horse is worth seeing just because the score is so good and you get to see the visuals and story that inspired it. Overall its not a BAD movie its just nothing special. Plus it's cool to see WWI stuff

I haven't seen Tintin and War Horse yet because their respective Blu prices are still $22 and $30. It's been a year, go down!
Hugo, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are all $20+ too.

So instead of paying to see $6 to see Tintin or War Horse in the theater, you want to pay $15 to own them forever on blu ray? Why not just red-box the blu ray for $1 before deciding if you want to own the thing or not? Seems like a waste of money.

A very small glimpse of Williams' score as well, I guess...
"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams
"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

Yes! All the theaters near me have "Cheap Movie Tuesdays" where tickets are $6 instead of the normal $10 or so.

Anyway, looking good, so far, and the snippet of the score is lovely.

Teasers for trailers leave a bad taste in my mouth. It's too much.
The music reminded me of Silvestri, if anything.

The teaser for the trailer (an understandable development given our affinity for the ever smaller doses of information in our smartphone age I'd say) makes me wonder if Mr Spielberg is a Ken Burns fan. Certainly this crossed my mind way back when the trailer for "Ryan" premiered.
I work as a writer. My books include: War Films (Virgin Books) and The Pocket Essentials: Steven Spielberg.
My most recent book is : Movie Movements: Films That Changed The World of Cinema and my forthcoming book is The Films of Pixar Animation Studio which will be published in summer 2013 by Kamera Books.
I have recently produced a range of short films about the work of Charles Dickens as a part of the Dickens 2012 celebrations in the UK.
As a screenwriter my most recent film is the short film Chasing Cotards, which screened at various North American film festivals throughout 2011.
I've written for 3D World magazine, Empire magazine and Moviescope magazine amongst others.

Karol
From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things well throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. Theres nothing frenetic about it. Its very simple. Theres a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Well first, I thought it was known that I'm fairly anti-theater. I barely saw any films in 2011, and I think I saw only a couple from the Oscar season (which is why I'm eager for them to drop in price). It's only been in the past few months that I've started to go regularly again. I also try to maximize my free ticket potential, by going several weeks after a film opens and chatting up an old manager. The Bourne Legacy was the first theatrical ticket I paid for since the beginning of the year or something like that. Even then, the fire alarm went off during the previews and I got a pass out of it. If I can't get in for free, I buy a child ticket from the machine, which is still $9.50.

That is indeed from the score. It is a HUGE part of it actually, one of the most prominant aspects of it. This is a verrrrry subtle and mellow score...very moody and low key.
