There is a very good movie directed by Brian Percival called "The Book Thief" about a little girl during World War II that steals books because they are interesting to read. A lot of people I know think it was directed by Steven Spielberg. Perhaps because it was scored by John Williams ( a composer that did almost all Spielberg movie soundtracks ). But it's not Spielberg. And here is the main difference between Spielberg and Brian Percival. The movie needed to show that her stepfather is being injured at war and thus comes back. Basically a scene to further the plot. Brian directs the scene very matter-of-fact-ly. He shows the character enter a truck. He shows the truck go. He shows the truck blow up and fall over. No elaborate anything.
The music for the film is made by the legendary Michael Giacchino who also got a cameo in the movie as one of the police officers. At some point John Williams was brought as a guest to help Giacchino conduct. Giacchino admitted trying to sound like John Williams for this movie. Because frankly, J.J. Abrams was trying to shoot the movie like Spielberg would do. Though he added enough of his own touches, such as a dutch angle to make it feel more unique.
The music for the movie is done by an absolute legend Michael Giacchino. Just look him up on Wikipedia. This guy rivals John Williams.
The soundtrack is also notable ( pun very intended ). It was composed by James Newton Howard that goes for a very John Williams like style. Strangely while the directing reminds Spielberg in style, the music remind Williams in style. And Williams is the composer that worked on almost all Spielberg films. They intentionally trying to sprinkle a little Spielberg in the movie.
Also this film has probably one of the best soundtracks from the legendary John Williams. Not the best. But one of the best. There are a lot of good compositions in this films that I like to listen to even just for fun. Some of which are very emotional. While others are very tension inducing. One, titled "Eye-Dentiscan" is just so hilarious. It's a proper showcase of musical humor. And combined with the scene it is just pure movie magic. It is beaten only perhaps by another composition by Williams that he did for Spielberg. And it is "Presenting Bianca Castefiore" from the Tintin movie.
Then there is the "Shape of My Heart" by Sting that comes in the end of the movie. Whenever the first notes start I start crying. The song is so perfectly melodic and melancholic that I don't know if there is anything more perfect for the ending of Leon. Perhaps only some legend like John Williams could do a custom soundtrack for it that could rival this song. But there was a different composer on the movie.
Directing-wise the movie had even less money than Call Me By Your Name, so the camera moves even less. There is one nice camera move toward the end. And some nice steady-cam work in the scene where they are running around the school. I know it sounds very terrible. But oh my god!!! Somehow it works. John Hughes being both writer and director is a magician and I really want to know the tricks up his sleeve.
Also while we know John David is good, because it's not his first big film, it's Madeleine's first movie. Like literally, if you look for her online, all you find is pictures of her as the robot child in The Creator. And damn she a good actress. Like holly shit!
night against installing GNU / Linux was a GNU / Linux fan all along. She herself didn't much like Richard Stallman. Or should I say, Richard Stallman's appearance... He is a wise man, but not a kind of 15 to 17 year old, thin dude, that girls in her age adore. Though Sheiny would agree immensely that Richard was an influential figure on her too. Reading his blog or his Free Software manifestos was very enjoyable to her. It was a mind trilling sensation of already agreeing with all the words that come next. Richard is the kind of dude that will give you mixed feelings no matter where you are on the ideology spectrum. He is a funny man sometimes, but can be very weird and awkward other times. He has grown this kind of great and immense belly seen in horror movies. But his face is always light with a old granny smile. Sheiny had on her computer a very old image of Richard Stallman. It was a picture featured on his biography by Sam Williams. The original print. It is the only image where Richard looks acceptable to her as a kind of man. Even there he looked far from the ideal 17 year old boy. But his mind was a great substitute. In some weird way, she wanted that version of Richard Stallman to be her next customer. But it could not happen.
Sheiny read a little bit of the text. There was a quote of some person named John Stuart Mill. It went:
To obtain it you need to fill up a form in which they ask you your name, email, phone number, country, city and street where you live. I put John Doe everywhere and it let me see the next step, which is a huge License agreement that nobody reads. Shall we read it then?
