    Man. If you had asked me directly you wouldn't have to wait 4 months for these.

    I have everything you've listed
    And frankly, I'm doing this quite quickly....
    By the way here is my proposition for a "Light side's Starfighters series". I still miss RO (will be the U-Wing of course).








    And Rogue one.

    I’ve always felt SL broke from that more as a whole, reminding me of a European type score in the vain of Piovani, Karaindrou or even Morricone, which tend to be a bit on the sentimental side as well. I don’t hear much ‘Hollywood’ in it...

    I have a friend who thinks the world is a pretty crappy place. Child abuse, torture, war, terrorism, greed, starvation and such are all proof to him that humans are a deplorable race, destroying the planet at every turn. It is not always fun to talk to my friend about life. 
     
    Because I believe the world is foremost a beautiful place. I think of all the various kinds of animals, mountains, the ocean, good hearted people, art, architecture, and it instills so much joy in me. 
     
    My friend and I don’t always agree on the state of the planet and mankind. Is any of us right? Yes: we are BOTH right. It is truly a matter of perspection.
     
    I’m just very happy with my more positive and optimistic view on things, because to be honest: my friend’s way of thinking is pretty depressive.
     
    When it comes to Schindler’s List -both film and score- guys like publicist or TGP are not wrong. They just look at it from a more bleak and apathetic perspective. 
     
    I tend to look at the film -and especially the score- from a much more positive angle and I see beauty, profundity and inspiration. I think it’s been a great succes story for both Spielberg and Williams, a defining moment in both their careers. Call me a fanboy, naive, a dreamer, I really don’t care.
     
    I think I’m better off this way.

    'Cause it was too limp and boring. 
     
    I used to consider myself a "closet optimist" because I was always afraid of someone accusing me of not knowing how the world worked, or that I was dumb and ignorant. I no longer feel this as strongly. 
     
    Optimism is not naivete; far from it.

    Spielberg, and by association John Williams no longer belong to the zeitgeist because of the innate optimism of their work.
     
    Did you see The Post? A lot of people don't like it. It's too saccharine. It has people fighting the good fight for good reasons. Because they want things to be better. That's not what a lot of people wanna see right now.
     
    Same for Ready Player One, it has a happy ending that doesnt change the world, but Spielberg does end it saying we should try to not be online so much and spend some time in the real world. Another rather life-affirming, positive message.
     
    The BFG, about a small girl who meets an old giant who's being bullied by other giants and wants to help him stand up for himself.
     
    I like these kinda stories. And it's the kinda thing Spielberg and Williams are drawn too.
     
    But people like Pub or TGP (and many many others) prefer more cynical, gritty, "real" stuff, and thats' fine.

    The answer is very simple in my opinion. The Book Thief is a good score, neither less nor more. Looking at the standards of today's scores, even very good.
    Schindler's List is a masterpiece. Music, whose fragments, especially Theme, will be remembered and played by orchestras even in one hundred years. I'm sure about that.

    Although I’ve warmed up to The Book Thief these past few years, Schindler’s List is one of Williams’ very best scores and the primary theme is one of the most performed and most recorded pieces of film music in history. The score is a classic: powerful, beautiful and haunting.

    I was able to get an autograph from Williams at Tanglewood in 2010 and share a few words with him. He was sitting in the audience during part of the program which was conducted by Keith Lockhart. During intermission, Williams remained near his seat and talked to some fans, gave away autographs, etc.
     
    It was an awesome moment. Surreal, magical. I remember he put his hand on my shoulder at the end and said: 'Enjoy the rest of the concert my friend'. It still makes me smile 8 years later. 
     
    I guess I was really lucky and it was a different time...
