I love this trailer, the photography is stunning alongside the production design, and the acting looks high class with Daniel Day-Lewis giving another of his "true conviction" portrayals of an American (this should sit nicely next to Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood). Needless to say I am very excited for this film, possibly the most excited I have been for a new Spielberg picture since Munich. But this score lets me down. I expected no less, it sounds great coming from John Williams and I'm sure it will be a lovely final score with much appreciation shown its way by both members of this message forum and award nominations but within this trailer it appears as much Williams scores for this type of film are: saccharine. I mean in no way of this being an insult, as I greatly admire Maestro Williams and find infinite pleasure from listening to my favorites of his.
That said, in the wake of new compositional talents like Jonny Greenwood or Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, I can't help but simply wish this film had taken an approach more like those. Greenwood and the team of Cave and Ellis have been established musical geniuses for multiple decades and have found new voices within film scoring, voices which bring to us creativity within orchestration and new sounds which have not yet soured in the genre. These composers can also write around sentimentality to create bold musical memories which create more fans and admirers amongst our dirty little outfit.
I'm not condemning Spielberg for hiring Williams (and why would he not?!), but I simply cannot gather the same romantic anticipation many of you gather for this score. I just want to hear what the best of the new blood could bring to a project like this.

I hope its filled to the rim of that Americana sound and I hope all those that hate that sound go elsewhere.

I already ordered this on Amazon. I am not anticipating anything because I want the music to make the statement not my own mind. Although he rarely disappoints me.
