Does John Williams steal? Many claim that he steals his themes...
This video looks at the music to Home Alone (the classic Christmas film), as well as Star Wars, and Jaws, to consider arguments that John Williams stole his themes - particularly from Korngold and Kings Row, and Dvorak and his ninth symphony.
The composer of such film soundtrack (s) as Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, Superman, E.T., and many others, is one of the most well loved composers here - in other videos I've talked about his leitmotifs, themes, and thematic development - here I talk about the concept of 'theft' or plagiarism in film music, and whether these arguments are sound.
