I have long been impressed by the people who work behind-the-scenes. As they are the ones who deserves to be credited for their work. I am talking about farmers, not the rice dealers. About the salespeople who are standing for more than ten hours in department stores and supermarkets, not Henry Sy. About the men who dig up holes, run the tractors, put cement and make our roads, not the engineers. About the construction workers, not the architects. About the factory workers who make our favorite shoes and apparels, not the models of Nike or Adidas. The composers, arrangers and not the singers. The directors, scriptwriters, PAs, make-up artists, cameramen and not the stars.
The people who are applauded, idolized and credited will not be able to make it without those who work behind-the-scenes. Sometimes, it pays to really know what makes a good song, a celebrity or a great movie. One thing that I look for in a movie is its soundtrack or what most people refer to as its OST. A movie without music is just plain dry and boring, no matter how good the story is. I couldn't imagine myself watching Madagascar, Batman, Shrek or any movie that you can think of WITHOUT music.
Yes, we loved Snow Patrol after we watched Spiderman 3. We also listened regularly to Counting Crows after watching Shrek. We also found out that Gwyneth Paltrow can sing. But we are forgetting the movie's original score. This is just instrumental played by an orchestra. If you're the type of person who really loves music, you wouldn't let yourself miss hearing this from the funniest up to the most scariest movie. Sometimes, it's the music that really scares you and makes you scream.
Not all people are familiar with John Williams. He is the man behind the original score of greeeeattt movies such as Star Wars, Born on the 4th of July, Superman, Harry Potter, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hook, Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, The Patriot, Minority Report etc. He also composed theme music for 4 Olympic Games and other TV series.

Next time you watch a movie, do not leave when credits are shown. Remember that behind every successful movie is a piece of stick. And..the next time you read a blog, give credit to the one who wrote it by leaving a comment. Feel free. :)
