My first post is going to dive in on the topic of music and cinema two of my favorite things in this beautiful world, but first a word from our future sponsor. Hey, do you like getting your hands on big round and hopefully not hairy nuts? if you answered yes to that question check out nuts.com they got more than nuts;). Nut’s.com doesn’t sponsor me yet but Im trying to get them to so fingers crossed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away… When seen in blue on the big screen, these ten words are followed by one of the most recognizable and famous scores ever written for the big screen. If you can hear The Main Theme in your head I appreciate you, and if you don’t, try harder. The man of this post is John Williams. Mr. Williams, was born in Floral Park, NY, in 1932. He started composing and performing the piano at the age of 20. Over a 60 year span John Williams has made himself one of the most successful, recognizable, popular, and critically acclaimed composers in cinema history. He has worked on many films, most notably, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, and Home Alone to name a few. He has been nominated for 50 oscars in his career and has won 5. Id be in awe if there was a person on this planet who hasn’t seen a movie that Mr. Williams has composed music for. The man is the G.O.A.T of music in cinema, and I would like to thank him for all the works he’s done in his life. His work has not only brought joy to me but countless other. “Heroes get remembered but legends never die” this is a quote from babe ruth in the sandlot. Williams didn’t compose that movies music, Im just brining up the quote to point out the fact that John Williams is a legend. The Star Wars Maine theme came out almost 50 years ago and that song still slaps, it’s not going anywhere. The Star Wars main theme will live on forever as will John Williams. Thank you again Mr. Williams <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
