Music Anyone?

While browsing the internet I came across an article that talked about the importance of music in movies. What is Film Music? By Hyesu Shin deals with the anger that the author has with today’s music in films. The author feels as though people today have taken the wonderful art form of music and has misused it in today’s cinema.





Shin wrote, “It is necessary to be clear about the reason why music should accompany (really accompany!!!) or illustrate a film. The essence of an accompaniment reinforces the synthesis of the materials; the essence of an illustration reinforces the acoustic markers of the events taking place and their forms of articulation.” Which basically means that a film should be accompanied with music to add to its great artistic value.

Here in my opinion is a good example of the argument above from one of my favorite movies and soundtracks, Dead Presidents
