The New Wave Film

Music also plays a key role in reminding the audience that this movie took place in the past.

The music fits the scenes well and the high energy vibe given though the use of camera effects. The movie constantly makes you feel different emotions, this is most heavily due to the incredible editing of Thelma Schoonmaker.

The nonconformist filmmaker, Robert Altman had refused to play by the rules. Unlike other directors, Altman had never been a storyteller, he had more interested in mood and ambiance than in plot. In the film “M.A.S.H”(1970), was about at the height point of the Vietnam War, this brilliant black comedy was set during the Korean War but reflected on the more recent conflict transparently. Altman looked away from the carnage in favor of a nastily detailed depiction of camp life during the war. This film gave Altman in position to do what he wanted to do for a long time.

Background music plays a really important role in today’s film industry. The music supplement to the film, in order to create a more complete work. Composers write their music on the basis of the story line and director put the music in the right spot, in order to draw audience’s attention and emotion into the film. Moreover, lyrics will bring out the movie plot and presents people’s feeling of the movie. There is a good example, which called “City of Stars”. It is a song from a musical romantic comedy film, La La Land, composed by Justin Hurwitz and the lyrics were provided by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. “La La Land” tells a love story which a jazz pianist and an aspiring actress, who meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams. However, when time goes by, the reality keeps them farther and farther away. The “City of Stars” reflects a very mixed feelings, such as the pictures, the song, and the latest moment. There seems a thousand words of regret which cannot be said. Even

The music, which is part of the sound that was use in the parents trap, plays a major role in the movie. The begging of the film introduce us to the parents of Hallie and Annie parents when they were getting before they could show them, just by the background music

Frankly, to cover each and every theological nugget found within the Beatitudes would be too great of a task to fit into the constraints of this paper. That being said I will focus on those that are extrapolated from the overall text versus those pulled from individuals. Nevertheless, I will make brief mention of these at the end the sake of thoroughness.

Music can be extraordinarily influential in films, as it has the ability to evoke emotion not displayed by on-screen action. Music used in films can play many roles; it can depict time and place, mood, atmosphere, character, and can be used to underscore the onscreen drama and titles. Alan Silvestri and John Williams successfully manipulate the use of music in film to establish characters (along with their personality, actions and changing emotions), as well as underscore the mood for the entirety of their given films. The contrasts of Silvestri’s “The Feather Theme” with Williams’ “Batman Theme” exemplify the power of music in film.

The French New Wave during the 1950s and 1960s broke the standards of cinema, and revolutionized the film industry. “During the late 1950s and early 1960s, the New Wave rejuvenated France’s already prestigious cinema and energized the international art cinema as well as film criticism and theory, reminding many contemporary observers of Italian neorealism’s impact right after World War II” (Neupert xv). World War II left in a large amount of debt. At that time, very few films produced outside of France was not allowed to be played into theatres. However, the Blum-Byrnes Agreement signed in 1946 allowed France to ease the burden of debt. The signing of this agreement allowed American products such as films

“The French New wave was a coherent movement, which existed for a limited period of time, and whose emergence was favored by series of simultaneous factors intervening at the close of the 1950s, and especially during 1958-9” (pg. 2). Matilda applied urban settings to the film to give it a more urban feel to its story, which was something the French New Wave movement heavily influenced in the film industry. Matilda (1996) was also influenced by the New Hollywood movement because its use of linear narrative. Matilda (1996) followed the guidelines of introduction, rising action, and solution throughout the film. Matilda (1996) focused on the realism of the characters, and this was an idea that the New Hollywood was mainly focused on. Matilda (1996)

This clearly explains the significance of music and the role that has in motion pictures. Music has to match the emotions that the actors are showing and the environment they are in. If fail to do so, the movie could be a dreadful thing to watch.

Music is one of the aspects the director uses to catch the viewers’ attention and to build up tension and suspense. In the last scene, the music starts when Malcolm realizes the truth of him being a ghost. Classical music is used in the film; fast pace, grand music is played. The music gets even louder and grander when it meets the Voice-over and Flashbacks when he starts to realize him as a ghost, then a sound of a gunshot from the night he died is played. After the Flashback of the night and remembering the last moment, the music turns into slow, calm, romantic music, creating a warm mood as it’s implying a happy ending. The director uses dynamics in music shows the crisis and resolution indirectly. Two Shot of the Malcolm and Anna are shown at the start and the end of the film. The director uses Two Shot is to show the changes in the relationship between them and the theme of communication. In the

     The music is appropriated to the visual images. When George is thinking about his daughter is going to leave him, it has background music of ¡§My Girl¡¨, and the lyric fits his feeling. The film uses narration, George tells what is going to be happened and defines the places. It is effective because the story is very realistic and the language is funny.

Culture in its simplest form is the arts that define the regional collective human intellectual achievement of the era. The arts are most reflective in visual form, from literature to painting, to more importantly since its earliest floriation in cinema. The evolution of American cinema at times occurred parallel to the changing American society. Architecture can be connected to the cinema, in the representation, by the connection through culture. The twentieth century can be broken down into its decades to be examined further.
