In Reply to: John Williams is Mozart for our times... posted by RGA on February 29, 2004 at 01:10:14:
I liked his score for "Jaws". And "The Poseidon Adventure" was good early work. I just don't like his later scores. "Raiders" is a two hour movie with three hours of music. The main theme is nice. But the intrusive non-stop droning of his music in most of the Spielberg or Lucas movies is irksome. In "Raiders", it's as if Spielberg never trusts the audience to its own emotions. Evil Nazis? Cue the evil Nazi theme, lest we mistake them for friendly Nazis. Marion might be dead? Cue the weepy violins. A tomb full of snakes? Cue the atonal oboe "gross-out" theme. It's too much of a "good" thing.
