Yet if you build your life on dreams it’s prudent to recall, a man with moonlight in his hand has nothing there at all.

Happy 100th, Warner Bros.! The studio was founded by pioneering Polish Jewish immigrants Albert, Harry, Jack and Sam. What began as a barn on Sunset became a Hollywood powerhouse, popularizing talkies, Busby Berkeley musicals, gritty urban films, anti-fascist dramas & much more.

#OTD in 1958, Leonard Bernstein conducted his first Young People's Concert with the @NYPhil.

Bernstein taught “the meaning of music is in the music, its melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies, and the way it's orchestrated.”

Spielberg and Williams in conversation for the ⁦@am_cinematheque⁩ at the Writers Guild… what an amazing night.

SOON 🤩🎶🎞️

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“We got to the table and there was a kid sitting there” — John Williams on his first meeting with Steven Spielberg 😄

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“He seemed to know more about film music than I did” — John Williams talking about Steven Spielberg impressing him on their first meeting!

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

Spielberg loved Williams’ work in Altman’s IMAGES and used that score over JAWS when editing.

“This isn’t a Robert Altman picture — it’s a pirate film!” — what John Williams said when he heard his IMAGES score over JAWS 😂

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“The shark never worked, but Johnny did” — Spielberg on JAWS ❤️

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“I wrote the end of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS first” — Because Spielberg had written the ending first, he had to figure out how the humans and aliens would communicate.

The answer? Music! 🎶🛸

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“That’s quite an incredible thing. I hadn’t seen that in years.” — John Williams on watching the CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND clip 😃

We totally agree!

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“That’s your contribution to these movies” — Spielberg talking about showing audiences clips of INDIANA JONES with and without music.

Would be a completely different movie without the music!

And — they both agree tempo is key in scoring!

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“No detail is too trivial.” — Spielberg

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

“I think E.T. is maybe Steven’s masterpiece” — John Williams 🌕🚲☎️

[American Cinematheque @am_cinematheque]

*John Williams midway through sentence* “Is it okay if I tell this story?”

“I don’t even know this story!” — Spielberg

Tonight’s banter 😆
