Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance, tension and release.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music is so crucial to every film, I think.
Music is a very, very powerful tool that filmmakers use to sway people into emotions that they intend you to feel.
A movie can and should have some real dissonance throughout - rage, heartache, tears, conflict, catharsis and all the other elements Aristotle demanded of a good story - but the chord has to be resolved.
All movies, when they're about the music business, tend to have a bit of a wide latitude in terms of how things really were.
The experience of a film is immersive, and music is supposed to underline and help that experience.
Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.
Usually music is used to hide a film's problems.
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
Music is the subliminal connecting adhesive in film, or at least in narrative feature films.
I love the conversation between film and music.
