Back on topic, i finally had the opportunity to watch the film with my girlfriend. I must say, being spoiler free more or less, not being read the book, it was one of the most emotional movies i have seen in recent years. Truly, Williams music enhaces the feelings a great deal without being overly bombastic or dramatic, as he is being critisized lately. A very nice little story extremely well scored. My girlfriend spent half the movie in tears and she mentioned the music was what emotionally connected with her. My male pride ( ) only let me be misty eyed and throat sore at key moments, but i couldnt help thinking how good the music was the whole film. For me it was a rare case, because having only listened to the OST i thought it was 'just' a nice and correct Williams work, but after seeing the film it really is much more than that. We saw ET the following day, and reinstated (after seeing John Williams again in the credits), that the music help a lot and JW is the man On the contrary when i saw 12 years a slave, it left me totally cold, and i think it was because the mediocre score, and the music was badly spotted (too many unremarkable or unscored moments) I really hope Williams wins the oscar for this. He has not won the BAFTA...so i fear the worst but who knows.... he won for geisha and didnt win the oscar... maybe this time the contrary will happen...

I say fanatic, you say maniac, let's call the whole thing off.How about a zealot? Would zealot cut it for you? Too moderate. You're an Imladris Extremist.

We have too many of these sports related threads and posts in General discussion. I vote for a new subforum to be formed for them!

I didn't feel good after watching Gravity. I was merely puzzled as to why people called it the 2001: ASO killer. I saw nothing special. Oscar or BAFTA doesn't mean a thing: 1) Film is not sports where the best is something you can measure with a stopwatch 2) The awards are mainly self-serving to the film industry. Alex

I forgot it was BAFTAS last night. Anyhow, beside amazing FXs, I still don't understand what people see in Gravity. That the Brits claim it to be British is strange indeed. It's a Hollywood film written and directed by a Mexican and shot in an English studio.

Well, what are your requirements for that? I write music, I use pencils and papers, and sometimes it gets performed and I get paid.

Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent. Wow what a big film with excellent production values. Really nice film.

Why would a network mixed new episodes with old? Especially on a show with continuous story arcs, is doesnt make sense.

Here's part 3 of my Oscar series on Alexandre Desplat's Philomena, a score that makes the most of its two most prominent themes in an appealingly melodic yet understated way. http://www.filmmusicnotes.com/oscar-nominees-2014-best-original-score-part-3-of-6-alexandre-desplats-philomena/ Your thoughts welcome as usual.
