The prompt for class was to describe what effects music has on a movie you saw. I watched "The Boondock Saints" and the music made the movie much more enjoyable. The music enhanced the dramatic scenes and really set the tone of the movie, the movie had a lot of classical music, because one of the main characters loves that style of music. During one of the most pivotal scenes his classical music was playing and I found myself drawn in; wanting more. Along with classical music, authentic Irish music was being played throughout the movie. This is probably the case because the two main characters are Irish, but I found myself instantly drawn in when I heard the music. I’m not so familiar with Irish music, but in this movie I wanted to hear more. With all scenes with guns and shooting the music made it art. It most definitely made the movie more intense. I think I would have enjoyed this movie without the music, but the music made it more enjoyable.
With all movies I have seen, the ones that stick out too me the most are the ones that have the most powerful music. Music is the jelly to the peanut butter sandwich that is the movie. You can enjoy it, but the jelly (music) just makes it sweeter. I am a big fan of music in the movies; it just makes the whole experience more enjoyable and more memorable. Thank you for reading this I hope you enjoy.

The Boondock Saints is an excellent movie and an ideal example. When the detective turns on the classical music it creates an ironic scene. the irish music also adds to the film and gives it a degree of uniqueness.
ReplyDeleteboondock saints is a great movie. i definately agree that alot of movies would probably still be awesome without music, but also that music makes it 10 times better. it adds emotion and drama to the movie. i remeber liking the classical music as well.
