Munich (2005)
Spielberg's Best
I saw Munich last night at a screening in Hollywood with a Q&A after with some of the production team. If you are old enough to remember the Palestinian terrorists attack during the 1972 Munich Olympics you will remember the emotions you felt when you see this film. The filmmakers have put up on the screen the world of 1972. Rick Carter, Janusz Kaminski, Joanna Johnston and their teams have once again created a world the actors can inhabit, can live and die in. The sound design was breathtaking. The audience and I were fully involved in the film. I looked around a few times and saw a lot of people sitting literally on the edge of their seats leaning towards the screen. As to it's political content I am sure it will inspire a lot of conversations. Steven Spielberg once again seems to have allowed his crew's to do their jobs and what we get to see up on the screen shows his trust was well placed. I am personal so glad to see Mr. Spielberg and the rest of the producers take a chance on a film that will be controversial and will make people think and talk, thanks.
Revolution OS (2001)
A movie about Open Source / Free Software and LINUX
I saw a really well made documentary today Revolution OS. I really knew very little of the Open Source / Free Software history. By the time the film was done I understood it very well. J.T.S. Moore told the story so well. The music that Chris Anderson-Bazzoli composed was well used all through the film. There is a scene about a letter Gates wrote way back around 76 ranting about "free" software. The music and the voice over really sell the scene so well. Moore's cutting between the different people being interviewed is great. He did a good job of starting an idea from one guy and finishing with another or going back and forth. I had no idea how LINUX had come to be; it was fun to see how wide a range of people were involved. I found the film to be engaging and fun.
