This little track from Nixon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAA1Dv7y7pg
Well, I'm currently obsessed with the whole score. But this tender flashback moment has been in my head for what seems like months.
Williams shifts tonalities so naturally. Nixon is kept disturbing, yet imbued with empathy. More than that, Stone and Williams accomplished in their films together (Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, Nixon: in many ways, more of a compelling set than Stone's overlapping 'Vietnam' trilogy) a remarkable sense of American history, of a grand dream that cannot be allowed to die, despite how much it has been tormented and twisted. It feels epic - Shakespeare's Roman tragedies, in tone, though - and yet profoundly personal. This score is rather more than a footnote to the Imperial March (though I imagine Stone would approve of 'Imperial Tragedy' as a name for his Williams trilogy).
Any tracks you lot are frequently replaying at the moment?
