Things you notice at 4am - music similarity
« on: January 21, 2008, 05:14:57 PM »
So I was up until early Sunday morning with insomnia and I watched an old Cary Grant movie called The Talk of the Town. Cute movie if you are into older movies btw. Anywho, they kept playing a piece of music in it that kept reminding me of Star Wars.

You decide if I'm nuts or if there's a similarity

Go to 7:28 and start listening to that one then go here

(yes I know it's a joke but it's the only clip of that song I could find) go to 34 seconds in and start listening. IMO there's a common theme that John Williams obviously changed a bit and added on to for Star Wars.

This isn't a knock on John Williams at all. It's a common practice and the piece in the first movie may very well have been from something else. I just thought it was kind of neat to spot it.

I don't know about the music, but the movie is cute so far.   :nice:

They are very similar indeed, yet also quite generic, so I doubt any actual copying as taken place.
