[@23WhiteFlag]

I wish someone would transfer John Williams' mind into a computer so he never dies. I don't ever want his music composing to end.

[@innismor11]

Yes, Death (narrator of The Book Thief) is going to take John Williams someday too.

[@HeyDuffy459]

+23WhiteFlag I'm so glad he's doing the Force Awakens.

[@mariettasatifka8371]

I so agree. I never want to lose John.😟

[@BlackNumber0ne]

So to speak for Thomas Newman

[@ntriley77]

John Williams: Nominated for the 49th time (Academy Awards). He has won 5. He is the most nominated man ever after Walt Disney. Just some food for thought...

[@awatefhamdi7475]

am still listening to this in 2016

[@torcal7453]

Uncomprehensible he didn't won the Oscar for this one!!!

[@lucasbflopes]

There are no words in this life to describe how wonderful John Willians is...always surprising me. Genius

[@silkydreamvevo]

i thought i was in a peaceful dream when i heard this one

[@ArtofBliss]

I loved loved loved this movie! Simply beautiful!

[@ashleygalura4248]

You express it eloquently.

[@GlobalFreeLiving]

Ashley Galura can you imagine a world without books? Only weak men burn books.

[@innismor11]

Freedom from the Grid Weak ... and fearful.

[@evansjun8749]

the book thief movie is an amazing, moving movie that anybody will love!!!

[@elijahada5927]

How will Steven Spielburg ever make a movie without him?

[@ironcladnomad5639]

This is why John Williams cannot be replaced by anyone from Remote Control. His music is alive and breathing. It has character. It almost literally speaks to you, tells you a story of its own.

[@iLikeTheUDK]

***** Although, it's to be admitted, even Williams uses electronics not very rarely. Famously, the celestae in nearly all of his Harry Potter scores were manipulated electronically and accompanied by synths to make them sound more eternal and mysterious. And the theme for the Invisibility Cloak was almost entirely synthetic. But _that's_ how you use electronics right.

[@iLikeTheUDK]

***** Course. The celestae in Hedwig's theme were made to reverbrate more to extend the decay and release and soften the attack, so in the recording they're not much more than ringing sine waves - which makes it sound really mysterious, like Williams probably intended. Same for the theme for the Invisibility Cloak from the first film - it sounds really otherworldly and mysterious; it took me years to figure out exactly what that sound was until I figured out that it was a synthesizer. It sounds less like a typical, orchestral Williams composition, and more like something that Tristram Cary would make for "Doctor Who" back in the 60s.

[@TB1M1]

yes same with Jerry Goldsmith there is blood sweat and tears in their music if you listen closely.

[@DavidChappell]

Just back from the cinema, and this definitely gets my vote to win best soundtrack. this score really makes the film. John Williams is just amazing.

[@adameld4852]

You see, Hans Zimmer is great at creating epic music, but John Williams just captures the very essence, and the spark in everyday life. I like how "human" Williams' work is.

[@taherassaid]

You Sir, just won the Internet for Today :D best comment ever I'm a big fan of both Hans Zimmer and John Williams. John Dreamer and Dirk Ehlert are also good composers :)

[@iLikeTheUDK]

IMO Williams does epic, grand music even better than Zimmer - Listen to his scores for the Star Wars films, most of Steven Spielberg's famous films, and the first three Harry Potter films.So much complexity, such a unique sound, especially those rapid, pulsating brass staccatos.

[@richards.3566]

iLikeTheUDK And Jurassic Park and probably the best of all time E.T. :)

[@bordeauxcolor]

Hans Zimmer is shit

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I have said it before and I know I will say it again but John Williams has such a gift at taking any emotion or any situation and putting it to music that perfectly represents it. The Book Thief music evokes curiosity and mystery perfect for Liesel finding books and learning to read. It perfectly captures the feeling of time passing as we see Liesel grow and mature throughout the movie. There are moments where the music is playful and fun which is very rare in this movie but they are there. Whenever Rudy and Liesel are playing together or when they have the snowball fight in the basement. Then there are beautiful yet sad moments for when Max leaves or Papa goes off to war. And then there are the powerful, completely engulfing moments of music that just kinda take over you and fill you with emotion which happens when the town gets bombed. John Williams is a genius composer and every soundtrack he makes is so perfect and good. He truly can convey the story through just a few pieces of music.

[@gonzaleztrumbass3518]

2nd movie that I cried my eyes out. lovely story accompanied by a simply magical soundtrack. Would easily recommend this to anyone 100%

[@RajeshDiwakarr]

which was the first movie that made you cry I would like to see !!

[@adameld4852]

Rajesh Diwakar Making an educated guess from his picture, I'd say Lord of the Rings...

[@gonzaleztrumbass3518]

to true :D

[@gonzaleztrumbass3518]

also the boy in striped PJs.... and this Italian movie calle La vita a bella (life is beautiful)

[@alohaike]

I was hoping to see the part in the book, in the movie, when Liesel and Rudy would steal from the farms with the other children.

[@chajus1]

GirlyDragons Unfortunately the book got stolen T.T

[@valbrazilval]

John Williams again!

[@olamalinowska4011]

Beautiful movie, beautiful music, beautiful book

[@moonshiry]

Wow, it was John Williams who composed the soundtrack? Stunning

[@Zapistafy]

The one and only.

[@logicnik1064]

It's amazing that he still has these new ideas and new themes in this age

[@mnbaa88]

I have watched all the movies which nominated for Best Original Score Oscar 2014... The Book Thief should deserve to grab the oscar... If not, its mean that The Academy never want John Williams to grab any oscar anymore, and for them, John Williams enough to be nominated....

[@filiphavlicek6804]

It's incredible, sometimes i want to cry and than i just want to laugh...

[@Hobbit1Mockingjay]

Oh my, that 'Finale', so beautiful.

[@luisfelipebruno3315]

That´s the kind of soundtrack that deeps down in my thoughts. it´s clear up unclear ones.

[@karasuyuki7651]

Amor

[@LaSharown]

John Williams always par excellence. Thanks Frederik

Vamos, que llegan los Oscar...!! Una banda sonora nominada. Mañana, más.

[@eternality05]

Once again, beautiful evocative work by the master.

[@lachlanbelke9307]

love this so much

[@jopickett4306]

People going on about how good the movie was, give the book a chance! The movie missed SO MUCH!!! They are both good don't get me wrong, it's just the book stirs more emotion.

[@MysteriousxMusician]

Joe Pickett I totally agree, I loved the movie but it's the book that really got me right in the kokoro xD Frau Diller is missing as well as a lot of important heart-warming events ...

[@jopickett4306]

Chain Agreed, where were the parts when Liesel gave the bread to the Jews, or when she found Max and got whipped? The movie also missed Frau Holtzapfel and the apple stealing parts.

[@MysteriousxMusician]

Yes exactly :o it could be better if the book was splitted in two parts instead of being raped !

[@lolz-fh5mb]

+Joe Pickett But the book doesn't have a John Williams score :-)

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

This is my favorite movie as well as my favorite book. I know that the movie left a lot out (characters that Tommy, Frau Holtzpfel, important parts of Hans’ history with Max’s father) but overall I have never seen a movie that made me…feel the same way that the book does you know what I mean? Like I love the Harry Potter books and movies but after the first two movies they stopped FEELING like the book you know? They were still good they just didn’t give me the same magical feeling that the books did. But The Book Thief kept the feeling and overall vibe of the book. Again it’s not a perfect adaptation (but other than the 1995 Pride and Prejudice what book to movie adaptation is?) but it gave me the same feeling, the same emotions that the book did

[@kadekevin566]

@1:41 and 4:00 is when my jaw literally drops

[@shinjitsunekuro248]

By the end of the book I was in tears with a sharp stab of emotion for Rudy who's body just lay there as Liesel was trying to wake him up... anyone else feel the same?

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

Johnny has done it again!

[@josemiguelfonsecafuentesoc2703]

I can´t believe it !!!! John Willliams and books!!!!! I love reading and listening John Williams soundtracks.

[@leviharder6949]

when will I stop liking this soundtrack? Never!!

[@estheradams4737]

Wow! It sounds amazing.... have you seen the movie? Is it good?

[@carlaadams6333]

that sounds so cool Levi!!!! I couldn't listen to all of it, but I lstened to some..... that's awesome. :) however, it doesn't come close the HTTYD sound track. ;P - Rochelle

[@leviharder6949]

The movie is a little slow but a really good story. I highly recommend it. If you cry I will understand.

[@carlaadams6333]

hahaha! well I cried in How To Train Your Dragon 2, and in Frozen... and in Kung Fu panda... so yeah, I'll probably cry if I watch it. ;P oh great, I feel so much better now. X) don't worry, I'm not a loud crier tho, my eyes water and I sniff a bit, my friend pretty much balls when she cries... it's quite amusing actually, and you forget to cry yourself. XD - Rochelle

[@leviharder6949]

You cried on kungfu panda. It's okay I inderstand.

[@existent_77777]

Deberías leer el libro si es que aún no lo has hecho. :3

[@manuela.8128]

Hemoso!!,gracias Frederick

[@adishahcerma1421]

just after reading the book i watched the movie. As always the book is better. I mean it goes deeper exploring the characters and the full story. Th movie is a very good adaption though some characters are absent and i think some others needed more similarity with the book. In my opinions there should have been less changes in comparison with the book. The soundtrack was great and i loved the actors,expecially rudy. HE was so sweet. To conclude, i think the main idea of the book was given. Though the book is the book. ;)

[@missnanashilol9224]

Im still crying TmT

[@awatefhamdi7475]

+Alejandra Stylison it's really heart touching

[@katy1by6]

just found out about it, and im not going to watch the movie until i've read the book!

[@okcat1]

I've actually been told that those who see the movie first appreciate it more than those who read the book first. I read half the book and then watched the movie, finishing the book after and I absolutely loved both. You can decide, but I just wanted you to be aware.

[@jopickett4306]

katy1by6 Good decision

[@TB1M1]

there are some great harp appeggios and heart wrenching parts in this score. pity the cues are short but i guess that's what the film demanded.

[@jhovannyyairavilaayala53]

wow!

[@gabischen8]

I love this so bad.

[@evrimkarayel87]

Bravo cok güzel olmuş

[@chuckherron6998]

whats sad is he probably wont have nothing to do with the score to Jurassic World

BELLO TEMA DE PELICULA

[@edena7353]

Preciosaa!

[@QuiqueVacas]

John Williams should marry Meryl Streep. There is a great american tradition to nominate them for an Oscar almost every year. I really like his music for this movie but to be honest it was not the very best body of work of the year.
