Waiting To Exhale: Film Analysis

When it comes to films, I feel as if the soundtracks make them what they are. A film in which I feel as if the soundtrack shapes the overall effect of the film is "Waiting to Exhale." Waiting to exhale was a movie about four African American women who were all through different things in their lives from men, their jobs and family.

They both not only write but also produce and have done soundtracks for movies. Although Rahman doesn 't have as many Grammys as the one and only Babyface he has still accomplished more than most artist ever will. I have learned that just because films maybe different, the soundtracks is what makes
