The reader that i choose is William Friedkin he is a director. He is the Oscar-winning director. He wrote a book called the Frienkin Connection. Not only did he direct and write book but he also worked out with the Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics is a NBA basketball team. He started to work out with the team in 1978. While he was working with the Celtics the owner offered him to sell him one third of the team for 150 thousand dollars he said it was a great offer but he talked to some people that worked for him and he did not end up taking the offer. Music is a key to his work. He also started making documentaries.
While watching this interview i did notice something. When he said that the owner of the Boston Celtics offered him one third of the team and he said that they were offering it for less money than what the owner got it and he did not accept it. What i learned is that sometimes is not only about money although it was a great offer he did not take it. Sometimes its not just about money is just what you want to do from listening to this film it looked like he was into filming and writing not into basketball maybe basketball was just and extra thing he will look into on his free time.
While i was listening to the interview one of the quotes that i wrote down that i also connected with was "music a key to work". i believe this quote is important because i also agree with him. Music is important and good to listen to because some music can get you in a good mood sometimes if you are not in the mood of doing anything if you listen to music it helps you get in a good mood depending on the type of music you listen to. Also there is some music that helps you relax while you are doing work. Since he will direct and write books and make movies sometimes you do need something to relax you so you can get concentrated and do your work.
Another quote that he said that i liked is when he said " I thought it will fir the mood better" what he is talking about is that when he was at the disco he said that he started to play punk music and also classical because he thought it will fit the mood of what was going on in the disco. I believe this is true about playing music that fits people mood. It is important because if you are in a happy mood then if you decide to put music that you know people will like then that is doing something good to the people specially if you go to a disco because by playing music that the people like then that is going to make the people want to go back to the disco.
One last quote that i like that he said was when he said "Sound is as important to me as the picture" i believe this quote is important and got to me because he was stalking about how when he makes movies that the picture is not only important but the sound too. I agree with him because by just showing picture in movie and no sound affects then sometimes it gets boring and you do not get the point of the picture and sometimes you do not understand what is going on. If you add sound to everything it makes it more important and it catches people attention and it makes the movie or film more interesting rather than just seeing movies with no sound.
Overall i thought this interview was really interesting everything he said is important. I did noticed that money is not everything you need. It is better to do what you like doing than doing something you do not like. This interview contributes to the film world because he talks about how sound is very important to
him when it comes to pictures and movies and i have to agree with him 100%. When i go see movies sound makes the movie more interesting it it helps us the viewers understand what is going on and sometimes what they are trying to tell in the story. I also enjoyed listening to the interview because it talked about the Boston Celtics basketball team how William Friedkin will practice with them. The Celtics have been one of my favorite basketball team in the NBA.
