If Thor writes it, that's what we'll get. 😆 What we need FIRST, is a best selling biography. That would tempt Hollywood to buy the rights, and make the film. Get cracking, Thor!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Biodome 714 Posted September 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2020 I envision a Quentin Tarantino film about John Williams, where Spielberg says the well-known line, and Williams answers: "But do you know why they're dead, Stevie? Because my shotgun had a field day with each and every one of those motherf***ers. That's right, that's what we call eliminating the competition. The only way of getting to you, Stevie. Now if you'll get me a Royale with cheese, I'll tell you how I finished them off." And so the film begins. An Oscar winner if you'd ask me.

bruce marshall 1,305 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The film will end with JW on his death bed, confessing to poisoning Bernard Herrman. Thus insuring his hiring for JAWS et.al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,586 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I just don't find scandalous interesting--at this point, they are the norm, and we are not supposed to even find them scandalous anyway("who are we to judge" nonsense). More importantly, a fact like Williams courting a married woman (though I do not know the details) probably did not affect his composing, but that same woman dying did have a huge impact (according to Williams). I find that sort of stuff interesting. We like Williams for his music, so any details that directly pertain to insights into that dimension are eminently more intriguing to me than affairs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,432 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I think John Williams was on coke in the 80s (like everyone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,305 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The film ends on a shot of his wife, imprisoned in an asylum, reaching thru prison bars..... Oh, sorry. Wrong composer. 😉 21 minutes ago, Bespin said: I think John Williams was on coke in the 80s (like everyone). Nah. He was a jazzman. Marihuana.

I find that sort of stuff interesting. But it's not an isolated incident, it's part of a longer storyline - from the romance in high school, separation after, then re-uniting during Williams' last stint in the air force, throughout 1955 in New York (even if she was married at the time), and then up to the eloping and marriage in 56. And then, three kids and several years later, her tragic death. It's not ROMEO & JULIET, perhaps, but it's certainly among the most dramatic storylines in his life. You can't just dramatize the immense impact of her death without a set-up that establishes their on-and-off relationship; a love that just won't die despite various hindrances along the way. I think what you really want to see is a documentary, and I would agree with you. I'd prefer that too. But as long as we're talking fictional biopics, it's a different ballgame.

bruce marshall 1,305 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Thor, in all seriousness, I would buy a bio written by you in a heartbeat- so long it's in English. Good luck!☺☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
