Another one time a great proof of legendary Maestro. I'm sure of a thing: when John Williams write scores for Spielberg's movies his inspiration goes at highest levels.
We all can hear in The BFG far echoes of "E.T", "Hook", "The Adventures of Tintin" (and also of Harry Potter's!)...all in the solid, great and immortal John Williams' style.
A great Maestro remains a great Maestro for ever!
Long life to John Williams, the most authentic and genuine Artist of our times.
