Sounds from the silver screen
Life, Published on 02/12/2020
» Has there ever been a more miraculous tunesmith than film composer John Williams? Following a fantastic evening of complete immersion in his best-known movie themes in the company of the marvellous Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra under the commanding baton of resident conductor Dr Vanich Potavanich, the answer last week was surely an unequivocal "No!". In yet another sold-out concert at the Thailand Cultural Centre on Nov 13, there were indeed some terrifying moments when the "Dark Side" was unleashed, however, for the most part, this was an evening of unadulterated, joyful reverie and fond recollections of all those treasured moments when we experienced these magical soundtracks for the first time in the movie theatre.

Spielberg, one of the first directors to turn Hollywood into a factory of digital effects, certainly knows this. But with unruffled confidence and youthful velocity, the 71-year-old gambles that the thrills would override the insincerity -- that nobody would mind the self-defeating scruples as long as the breakneck ride keeps us glued.
