Before reading this musical, I did not have good idea of what it was about. I thought it was a comedy in some ways, but I did not except it to be so dramatic. This musical touches on subjects that are very fragile. I did not expect the son to be a ghost, and to have died when he was younger, and he is a ghost in the musical. With the musical being so emotional, there is a lot of adult content.
The dancers stand at the ballroom rail where they are statured in abstract and carnal positions. The girls perform the piece commenting on their audience and one man in particular as ‘big spenders’. The choreography is sharp but includes an element of snake-like shadiness as the dancer’s motive becomes more defined. The piece is filmed from the audience’s perspective, creating a feeling as if the dance is directed at the viewer of the movie. The musicality of this dance and The Rich Man’s Frug is highly polished thereby bringing a greater intensity to the
1. The fish are belly up in the river now and the corn grows like hay. That’s why Daddy had to leave. Heading West, where a Man can be new again. Brother and I asked to go with him.
Theme: Friendship Song: “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” – Randy Newman “You've got a friend in me. You got troubles then I got them too. We stick together, we can see it through cause you've got a friend in me.” Justification: This song relates to the relationship George and Lennie had because even though Lennie was always getting in trouble, George was beside him no matter what. Also, when they got to the ranch, Slim said to them that is not common to see such good friends like George and Lennie, who travel together and look out for each other.
The aim of this scene is to jeer at brief excitement one feels, but in reality nothing ever happens, life is boring and static. Tim Burton’s usage of music is to create a parody of what is the typical human life. However, it is emphasized more clearly with the establishing shot that is presented alongside the
In the film score, the theme is unveiled through an ensemble of violins, creating a classic lush ambience. In the concerto, Korngold once again does a metamorphosis; keeping the instrumentation of violin, he leaves it to only the soloist playing it alone in an octave higher. Juarez's love has now intensified.
The recurring polka music serves as a haunting reminder of her troubled past and her inability to escape the memories that haunt her, namely her husband’s suicide. The Varsouviana polka, was playing when Blanche's husband shot himself. Thus, the music becomes a haunting reminder of her past actions and the immense guilt she carries. Through these deep moments, Williams is able to convey the depth and complexity of Blanche’s character as we are able to see that she is a strong woman and not as shallow as portrayed in the previous
She then took the theme from the movie and constructed a paraphrase, a concert paraphrase, on “Waltzing Matilda”. When John played it in Sydney two years later, the people in Australia loved it and the efforts they had put into making this piece payed
As a child, we are sheltered from the smallest pains in life. However, as we grow older, we are expected to not let it affect us any manner. In the short story “Desiree’s Baby,” by Kate Chopin, the main character, Desiree, is depicted as an emotional character and is influenced by her environment and the people in it in a negative way. Through its ironic story line and use of a changing tone, along with a evident theme of racism, Chopin suggests that Desiree has a weak mindset and is reliant on a stable environment to calmly navigate her life.
Because the orchestra uses an array of instruments, a stark contrast is able to be created between the moments when Chaplin is dancing and when he is not. During the dancing the violins play higher notes, similar to how the piano does; however, the violin is also accompanied by bells, adding to the joyous instrumentation. During the preceding and following moments when Chaplin is not dancing, the violins play lower notes and without the accompaniment of loud bells. The addition of the bells causes the soundtrack to be significantly different than the non-dancing scenes. An additional effect of creating a unique sounding soundtrack is it makes the music appear to be almost diegetic.
Her father was a person who drank too much and only cared about himself. He even abused her mother when he was drunk. It also showed the house that she came from. It showed that she came from a rough place which brought many trivial issues that caused her so much pain. The director was smart into picking the right house to demonstrate all of the abuse and poverty she went through when she was young.
The violin creates a sense of sadness. For example, when the main voodoo doll decides to kill itself, then the sound became sad and it played in a slow
As the movie progresses, Mozart transforms and his personality grows to fit his great musical
The album opens up with “Liebesleid” (Love’s Sorrow). Originally composed by Fritz Kreisler in 1905, Liebesleid is an incredibly emotional and remorseful piece. However, when played on the theremin, it strangely becomes romantic. I have heard Liebesleid played so many times on the violin with the same emotion conveyed - sorrow. To hear Liebesleid played romantically is a very strange experience.
Bohemian Rhapsody by The Queens, why you ask? I mean have you heard of it. It is a complex mixture of rock, pop, classical, theatrical, I could even say rap and emo. From the start up until the end it will lead you into different simulating emotions. One part you will be crying, another part anxious, then you will jump for joy, then it will make you feel so awkward, then cry again, then it will make you belt out a note you did not even expect you will hit.
