Some of the greatest films and television have only been seen by the people that make them. And some of the greatest music is only heard by the people who make it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Music is so crucial to every film, I think.
Film music has a great history of composers and performers.
Most of the best music in American history was made by people with no options.
Film composers are the most prolific music makers on this planet, and most of us are, like, losing our minds if we're doing five or more movies in a year.
I come from a time when pop music was the coin of the cultural realm and in a certain way was the only coin of the realm; movies didn't matter as much, and not TV - it was all about pop music. In the era when I started - which was the early '60s - it was all about singles leading to albums.
Music to me is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.
There are so few directors who are musical who appreciate music.
All of the silent films had live music accompaniment, so it's actually a very rich period in music.
There's no way that music could ever go down the tubes. I can't imagine a civilization without music. When you realize today that music is such a part of people's lives. And will always be, really.
Our music over the years has been very cinematic. It's surprising we never really got into film soundtracks.
