gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Just watching Jaws 2. 45 minutes into the film, there is a montage of people frolicking on the beach, ending with Brody on the watch tower. You've never heard such intricate elaborate music for people sunbathing. Just saying. bollemanneke and Ricard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Jaws 2 is only worth it for the (fantastic) score, I hated that movie. Not even bad enough to enjoy ironically. Why John Williams Is Great: Cerebral Cortex and Arpy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Overscoring doesn't score with me. Stu's example is much more my speed. MikeH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Balahkay 627 Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 What makes Williams great to me is his ability to elevate what would be a boring scene into something exciting and badass.

Naïve Old Fart 9,551 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 "Badass" is right! A lesser composer would have rendered that scene unwatchable. SETTING THE TRAP has always been my favourite piece of Home Alone music. 1:16...shades of TRAINING WITH GEORGE/GEORGE SETS THE PACE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 All that intertwined flourish in the orchestration, it's so garishly overscored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,551 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Agreed, Lee, but that's part of the beauty of it. Besides, HOME ALONE is a garish film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
