Knowledge? Where did Zimmer studied? Whatīs the name of the last work he orchestrated? Why did he need so many ghost writers? A good student of composition has the knowledge to write things much more complex and diverse. Talent? Talent to write a tune like A B C, A B C?

Spare me the silly victimizations. I have nothing against Zimmer in particular
