Recommended: Role and importance of music

What I believe the significance of this movie was that through music one can experience different feelings and things depending in the setting you’re in. That boy with synesthesia lived through the world by music. Synesthesia is a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense. Baby was left with a permanent hearing damage and to drown out the ringing in his ears he listened to music nonstop. Music was an escape for him and the music he listened to where all different artist that come from different cultures. Listening to music turned his life into a tap-along, exciting life type of way. When he gets coffee, it is like he adds a type of choreography on his way there and back while listening to music.

    The sound effects grabbed my attention and continued to make me yearn for what could come next. The sounds bring me to a place where I can’t help but believe in the situation that’s happening. The music heightens my mood and helps create illusion. For example, the first extraordinary sound technique I noticed that the filmmaker used was the echo effect. It was not only used to support the mood the characters were at, but also to express that idea of the ‘emptiness’ in them. This technique dominated the audio when I was taken to a story in the film of a boy who was 18 and poisoned by his own sister. Those are some of the dominant examples of sound usage throughout the movie The Poisoners Handbook. The entirety of the soundtrack is a solid cocoon for the film to stretch and grow

In this way they are in a way escaping from the darkness that is around them every day even if only for a short time. It's the only light they have. This is when the author uses the image of darkness for the last time. " For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn't any other tale to tell, it's the only light we've got in all this darkness." This supports that their music is the only thing that is totally good in their lives. With all the violence and despair that is around them all of the time, music is the only way they can free themselves.

    Music plays a major part. Whether its something like making someone happy or sad, it brings that sense of emotion. A movie without music would be boring and dull. It takes the boring and dullness away with a music of suspense or terrorizing. Music has its value in the movie. In the scene where Ron is telling his wife of all his investigation, the music begins slowly when he begins saying, " If I hadn't been out that day, I could have easily gotten myself and everyone else in that room killed." Then, the music gradually increases as he continues to tell his tale. The music is soft and heartfelt. It could also bring anyone to tears because of the emotion set from the music. Later on in the movie, the last scene of where they are at church, Ron walks over to a room where all the children in the elementary school were singing. They were singing a known song for children in the LDS church. The song is titled " A Child's Prayer". Its played at the end and leaves a powerful message.

    Notably, a scene that demonstrates this well is when Mama “...crosses to Beneatha and slaps her powerfully across the face.” (Hansberry 51). Readers can learn from this scene that Mama is the dominant figure in the household. This scene helps enhance the theme of dreams because Mama has a dream of making sure her children believe in some god, and with Beneatha speaking ill about God, Mama corrects her instantly. In addition to that, in the scene where Mama smacks Beneatha, the use of sound was incorporated right after the smack happened, the music was serious and had a pessimistic atmosphere. Viewers learn from the sound that it connects them with the emotion of suspension and how Beneatha must feel. The sound amplifies the theme of dreams by allowing viewers to have a deeper connection with the idea of how crushing dreams can be. This scene was enhanced better in the film than the book because of the actuality of hearing the slap. Taking all these things into consideration, contrasting and comparing the book A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and the film by David Petrie, it is evident that the film used imagery of sound to portray the

    The importance of music in movies is highly regarded for manipulating the viewer’s emotions and helping them immerse into the story. Music is one of the prime elements in cinema. Without it a movie would feel dull and unexciting. There are three elements in a movie: one is acting, the second is picture, and the third one is music. It is a holy trinity; if incomplete, there would be a lack of sensation and excitement. Both acting and picture can stand independently from one another, but music is the one that makes the movie memorable.
