Legendary, Oscar-winning film composer John Williams says he doesn't care for film music in general, actually.
"I never liked film music very much," Williams told The Guardian. "Film music, however good it can be – and it usually isn't, other than maybe an eight-minute stretch here and there… I just think the music isn't there. That, what we think of as this precious great film music is… we're remembering it in some kind of nostalgic way… Just the idea that film music has the same place in the concert hall as the best music in the canon is a mistaken notion, I think."
Williams is perhaps best known for creating some of the most important music in pop culture history – point blank, period. He scored the first Star Wars movie in 1977, winning an Academy Award, and then he went on to be nominated for a whopping 53 more Awards and become a 5-time Oscar winner.
