Scoring the director's latest film, the composer tapped into the deep emotions of 'The Fabelmans.'
The director and his three sisters — Anne, Sue and Nancy — have always been close. “The Fabelmans,” his film based on their childhoods, deepened the bond.
“The film kind of tells you where it needs music or where it would benefit without music,” Spielberg says. “But where there is score, it’s extremely necessary.” Williams wrote a few other intimate cues: A hopeful haze of strings and delicate celeste and harp notes bookend the future filmmaker’s odyssey, and the Fabelmans’ heartbreaking divorce announcement is scored with a helplessly repeating question on piano and string chords welling like tears.
“I always like to say that John rewrites my films musically,” Spielberg says. “And a callback like that is absolutely necessary, and so powerful, when Burt is looking at the picture and he’s suddenly overcome.”
