I'm surprised Williams didn't mention the influence of Korngold on that opening to Star Wars. The first eight notes and Korngold's 'Kings Row'. Korngold's film music had been re-recorded by Charles Gerhardt and the National Philharmonic Orchestra a few years earlier to great acclaim. It always seemed like Williams was acknowledging that he was starting with Korngold's style, before developing that style in his own way.

The fact that you know only John Williams might simply reveal your preference for the film of Spielberg or other directors who collaborate with John Williams. I think that Alan Menken, for example, not only is an incredibly skilled composer of cinematic classical, but it's probably even better than John Williams. The problem is that Alan Menken works for the Disney and many of his scores have been written for animated films. Since animated films are not the cup of tea of many adults (including me), many people tend to torget Alan Menken in the lists of great composers.

When this man passes, Hollywood should just stop for the day to pay respect. He's that important.

This man is the definition of a modern-day genius. The history of cinema would be incomplete without him. He's the reason I have so many fantastic memories from my childhood. The fact that he's still composing beautiful music is truly amazing. I'm so sad to hear Indie 5 will be his last score.

Williams' earliest Oscar nomination was in 1968 for Valley of the Dolls, 55 years ago. He has 53 nominations, but wasn't nominated in 53 separate years. He was actually nominated in 37 years. Some of the nominations were for Best Song as well as Score, meaning he sometimes got two nominations for the same movie. For a long time, the Oscars had separate awards for scores to musicals vs. non-musicals, so sometimes he got nominations for each of those in the same year. And there were indeed multiple years where he was nominated in the exact same category of score twice, competing against himself for the wins, in 1973, 1978, 1985, 1988, 1990, 2002, 2006 and 2012. At this point, he's gone 29 years without a win. In another interview, he remarked that his wife wears black to the Oscars because they "always lose." His last win was for Schindler's List in 1994. His Jurassic Park score from that same year was not nominated, which some might consider his biggest snub by the Oscars. A lot of his sequels have been passed over for nominations as well, including Jaws 2, Home Alone 2, the second Jurassic Park, the second Harry Potter, all three Star Wars prequels and the fourth Indiana Jones. Other scores to his Spielberg collaborations that weren't nominated include The Sugarland Express, 1941, Always, Hook (which did get a Song nomination), Minority Report, The Terminal, War of the Worlds, The BFG and The Post. Williams even has one Golden Raspberry nomination, for 1982's Monsignor.

John Williams is such a dear person and I respect him so deeply. He truly is a musical genius of not only his generation, but of the century. His music MAKES the movies, it's so memorable and so emotional. Jurassic World, Star Wars, Harry Potter... all these movies would be good without the music, but they wouldn't be GREAT. I wish him good health and that we will be blessed by his presence for many years to come yet!

One interesting thing about that Star Wars main theme is that it sounds like Korngold's opening theme for King's Row, even if just for a few notes. And another part of the theme reminds me of a section John Alden Carpenter's 1st symphony.

One of the most amazing composers of our lifetime. And a nice, humble man and human being. John Williams is awesome.

It's his musical genuis having created all these iconic movie themes coupled with iconic movies that will continue to make these movies stand the test of time. He was at his peak musically at an awesome time in movie history . No other film composer could have added what he added musically to these iconic movies.

the power of Williams is this: he's not neccessarily my favourite movie scorist, but he EARNED every bit of his reputation; such a LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is amazing is that John Williams, at the time of this interview, was 91 years old. He seems as sharp, brilliant, insightful, and modest as ever. For over 60 years, he's been a gift to the world of music, from his brilliant early credit as "Johnny Williams" composing the music for the 1965 TV show Lost in Space, to his most recent score for The Fablemans. And many people don't know that his son Joseph Williams became the lead singer for the band Toto.

The force is strong in this one !

His music is part of our DNA now. What an accomplishment.

Legend. His music made those movies recognizable in a heart beat. You hear the song, you think of a movie. Not many composers have this kind of legacy.

I was 9 years old when Star Wars was first released in 1977. After seeing it in the theater, I was obsessed with anything related to Star Wars. About 2-3 weeks later, was in the mall, remember those, with my parents and passed by the record store, another relic from the past. In the window was the Original Star Wars Soundtrack, double vinyl album, with the poster inside! Needless to say I had to have it, not really sure what it was, but begged my folks to advance my allowance so I could get it. Took it home and played it on my parents big RCA stereo console. WOW! by hearing the music, I could remember each scene in the movie that each cut had come from. I would then play the music and re-act the scene in the movie in our living room. Thank you Mr. Williams for one of my favorite childhood memories. The power of music is undeniable! I still have that album today BTW, and is still sounds awesome!

This is the first CNN video I’ve watched in years. This was awesome. I could watch Mr. Williams all day, he is a national treasure.

So that is the man who created those moments. That music is deeply embedded within myself and brings back warm memories of childhood. Great interview!!!! It was missing the Jurassic Park theme though 😑

How wonderful that this humble elder statesman of great accomplishment still approaches music with childlike wonder: "Music sustains our spirits and enriches our souls."
