Movie Review

The Godfather

Climax of this film is the late in the end his father finally died, michael take exact revenge… killin undercut the baptism of michael sister brother in law son… meaning of layer here… baptism is the right of initiation…. Michael being the head of the family… michael kinda initiated in this world of crime here…. Interesting scene…. Music played in organ music…. Source music…. Organ music (usually church instrument) continued throughout…. Also during baptism… in textbook…. It says it’s bach music, but it’s not completely bach. Passacaglia and Gugue in C minor….. passacaglia is kind of piece that typically would begin with a phrase of music with low based note… throw a osinato… that influences the music used in that scene…. So it’s not purely bach. J.S.Bach (1685-1756)…. is one of the most respected western music… luthuran church… deeply embedded the music… Take note on how organ music is coordinated/well knitted to the changes in the shots. At the beginning of scene… music higher, lower register… when shooting begins… music underscoring…

Star Wars

All the guys have been docked in the death stars… in this scene… they’ll be examine now. When luke and the guys hiding under the ship, and popped out, Mother theme of Psycho played…

Amadeus (NOTE: Mitchell loves this film)

Example of film using adapted score. A movie about Wolgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-91). This is based on a stage play…. And it’s based on the life,central character of this film is told by perspective of somebody else. Antonio Salieri (1750-1825). This is based on historical fact. Reflections of jealousy. During their lifetime, Salieri is the more successful composer… he is exceeding jealous on mozart abilty….. mozart prodigy talent…. He playing for kings queens and popes when he was very young.… he remained talented throughout his life. Most of the music in this film is by Mozart (80-90% of the music). A lot of these musics are performed by an ochestra and directed by the conductor...
