MovieMusicMaestro 33 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well, although I don't expect any fanfare or anything like "Air and Simple Gifts" for the next Inauguration, we should not forget that John Williams already scored a movie which has Donald Trump in it: Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I believe this is Williams' second scored film with a (non-actor) president in it (the first being that Ronald Reagan movie from the 60's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on, did you just say that you decided to vote for a racist, sexist hatemonger* simply because he happens to have a cameo in a film scored by Williams and because he used Goldsmith music in his campaign (against the express wishes of one of its producers, by the way, and presumably Goldsmith's own ideas; see here)? *) short version Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams was also involved with the Reagan speech/event by the Statue of Liberty in 1986 (the now famous fanfare "Liberty Weekend"). He also did the theme for KRAFT SUSPENSE THEATRE, in which Reagan appeared (although Williams didn't score the episode in question), as well as some episodes of GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATRE, in which Reagan was the host....although he may have departed the show by the time Williams got involved. There's also the Bill Clinton connection with the screening of AN UNFINISHED JOURNEY (Clinton narrating to Spielberg's visuals and Williams' music). I don't count Williams' appearance with Bush jr. and Obama at events, since no scoring was involved. But other than that, I think Williams' connection to presidents have mostly been of the fiction kind. Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 It was more appalling when Obama used music composed by John Williams for a Mel Gibson character that viciously murders British soldiers (portrayed as loons that set fire to churches filled with innocent women and children) with a tomahawk and teaches his kids to pick guys off with rifles. It wasn't even remotely appropriate. Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Omen II 1,235 Posted November 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2016 Williams should repurpose his Fanfare for Michael Dukakis by renaming it "Alack! To the Wall" and adding the heavenly voices of a Mexican children's choir proclaiming antiphonally "We will pay for it!" in Sanskrit. He could also put something about trees and shit in there.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I wonder why we can't though? Not that I'm particularly interested in doing so, but still. I mean, the recent political talk didn't exactly explode the forum into ashes and dust as once feared, did it. But really, a massive meh either way from me.
