    If you want something soothing/moving- Music by John Williams at Disney + Is a soaring, human tribute to a man that has given a voice to countless films and the goodness of mankind. Its also the chronicle of one of the most endearing and anduring film partnerships ever.

    #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched One leftover from 2024, but the first 3 for the new year was a bit of a mixed bag. Music by John Williams is superlative entertainment. IO2 was meh. Judex was a remake of a 1914 movie, so I loved its flourishes here and there to the silent era, but it’s weird.

    While you’re there, Music by John Williams is also worth a watch for anyone who paid attention to movie music in the ‘70s through ‘00s. It’s got an old white guy tilt, but Williams and Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are authentically old white guys, and they tell the story.
