From his early days as a jazz pianist to his 54 Oscar nominations and five wins, this documentary celebrates Williams’ countless contributions to the moving image arts, music for the concert stage, as well as his indelible impact on popular culture.
"Directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Richard Donner created films that transformed cinema, but it was a musician, John Williams, who first transformed those movies with his melodies in the first place. Music by John Williams is a documentary that honors the creator of themes that made us believe a man could fly, that dinosaurs exist, and that good and evil battle in a galaxy far, far away. Will it tell you anything new about the legendary composer? Not really. However, it is an emotional tribute to a lifetime of music that has been pivotal to the history of film, featuring touching testimonials from filmmakers like Spielberg and J.J. Abrams to cap it off.""
