A selection of paintings worth seeing

In our fast-paced age, it is especially important to find time to reboot. One of the best ways to relax is to watch a good movie or cartoon. But don’t just watch, consciously enjoy every moment.

Music in films is not just a background. It creates a mood, enhances emotions and helps to perceive the plot more deeply. Remember “Star Wars” without the march of the Empire or “Titanic” without the famous melody of Celine Dion - without music, these films would lose their magic. Soundtracks reveal the inner world of the characters and add depth to your perception.

Modern masterpieces of cinema

Recent years have given us many films and cartoons that instantly won the hearts of viewers and firmly established themselves among cult works. These are not just temporary hits, but real masterpieces that will be watched again and again. But it is important to remember that part of the magic of these films lies not only in the plots or visual effects, but also in the musical accompaniment, which makes each of them truly unforgettable.

"La La Land" (2016)

This movie has become a hymn for all lovers of musical films. The soundtrack by Justin Hurwitz is an integral part of the story. Every melody, every note in this film is like a spoken word, conveying the feelings of the characters.

Jazz motifs emphasize the dreaminess and sadness of the main characters, creating a contrast between bright dreams and harsh reality. The entire film is imbued with nostalgia for the golden age of Hollywood, and music plays a major role here, connecting the viewer with this era.

"Coco" (2017)

The cartoon "Coco" is not only a beautiful story about family values ​​and ancestral memory, but also a musical work that reflects the soul of Mexican culture. The soundtrack created by Michael Giacchino makes every moment on the screen even more meaningful.

The song "Remember Me" has become a true symbol of this cartoon, conveying the main idea of ​​the film - to remember your loved ones. Music in "Coco" not only decorates the plot, it becomes an integral part of it, revealing to the viewer the rich culture and traditions of Mexico.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" (2018)

This painting is a real treat for all Queen fans. Music plays a central role here, because the film tells about a legendary band whose songs are familiar to everyone.

The soundtrack does not just accompany the film, it lives with it, conveying the atmosphere and spirit of the time when Queen was at the peak of its popularity. The songs "We Will Rock You", "Bohemian Rhapsody" and other hits make watching the film incredibly emotional, immersing the viewer in the world of rock and roll.

"Soul" (2020)

"Soul" is a story about finding your destiny, and music plays a key role here. Composers Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and John Baptiste have created a soundtrack that seems to lead the viewer through the worlds of soul and earth.

Jazz improvisations and modern electronic motifs create a unique atmosphere, conveying the full range of emotions experienced by the main character. The music here helps to reveal the main idea of the film about the importance of every moment in life.

"Dune" (2021)

Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" is a true epic, and Hans Zimmer's music helps to create a grandiose sense of the scale and depth of the universe. The composer uses unusual instruments and exotic sounds to convey the spirit of the distant planet Arrakis.

The music in "Dune" not only complements the visual range, but also enhances the atmosphere of mystery and danger, making each frame even more intense and intense.

Underrated movies and cartoons

Sometimes real gems of cinema remain in the shadow of big premieres and box office hits. These films and cartoons may not collect millions at the box office or win many awards, but they have a special magic that cannot be missed. This is especially true for the musical accompaniment, which in such films often turns out to be a real masterpiece, subtly emphasizing the atmosphere and enhancing the emotional impact on the viewer.

"Inside Llewyn Davis" (2013)

The Coen brothers' film is a subtle, melancholy portrait of a musician struggling to find his place in the '60s folk music scene. The protagonist, Llewyn Davis, performs in small clubs in New York City, where his music is lost in the noise of the big city and fails to resonate with the general public.

The soundtrack, created by T-Bone Burnett, perfectly conveys the mood of that time: jerky guitar chords, simple but soulful melodies. These songs reflect Lewin's inner world, his struggles and loneliness. The film deserves attention not only for the script and the acting, but also for the atmospheric music that literally enlivens the era.

"Kubo and the Two Strings" (2016)

This animated masterpiece from Laika studios, unfortunately, remained underappreciated by the general public. "Kubo" is a fairy tale story that, like its main character, tells about the power of music and magic. The soundtrack, created by Dwight Hughes and Mark Mancina, includes traditional Japanese motifs that perfectly match the dynamic plot and stunning visuals.

The music in this cartoon doesn't just accompany the events, it literally leads the story, helping viewers immerse themselves in the magical world of ancient legends and samurai. Of particular note is the track "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", which sounds truly magical when arranged on traditional Japanese instruments.

"Enemy" (2013)

This film by Denis Villeneuve may not be as widely known as his later works, but it represents a real masterclass in creating an atmosphere of tension and anxiety. The plot centers on the story of a professor who discovers his double.

The soundtrack, written by composer Danny Bensi, uses minimalistic but powerful musical themes that perfectly emphasize feelings of paranoia and anxiety. Here, music plays a key role, creating tension in each frame and enhancing the psychological effect of the film. This is an example of how a soundtrack can completely immerse the viewer in the atmosphere of what is happening on the screen.

"Over the Garden Wall" (2014)

The Cartoon Network miniseries is an amazing journey of two brothers through a mysterious forest. The series was highly praised by critics, but went unnoticed by many viewers. The musical accompaniment created by the composer of The Blasting Company plays one of the main roles in creating a unique atmosphere of the series.

The music in "Beyond the Hedge" combines elements of folk, jazz and blues, which allows viewers to plunge into the mystical and at the same time cozy world of the series. Each composition highlights the mystery hidden behind each tree and creates a sense of magic that is impossible to break away from.

"Arrival" (2016)

Another Denis Villeneuve film, which, although it received some recognition, still did not achieve the popularity it deserves. The story of contact with an alien civilization struck the audience with its depth and philosophy.

Johan Johansson's music works here as a bridge between a person and something unknown. The soundtrack is filled with minimalistic but powerful themes that create a sense of contact with something incomprehensible and at the same time human. The music here not only enhances the drama, but also helps to reveal the main idea of the film – the importance of communication and understanding.

Music in cinema is not just a background that accompanies the plot

It is a powerful tool that creates mood, heightens emotions, and helps us to immerse ourselves more deeply in the world created by the director. A good soundtrack can make a film unforgettable, and the characters – alive and close. It is music that turns an ordinary scene into something great, adding power and depth to it.

When we listen carefully to music in films, we discover additional layers of narrative that might otherwise escape our attention. The soundtrack tells its own story, complementing and enriching the plot. Remember how the music in La La Land makes you dream, in Dune it creates a sense of grandeur, and in Kubo – magic and awe. All this is the result of painstaking work of composers who create music with the same love as directors create their films.

Conclusion

Next time you watch a movie or a cartoon, make a small effort – switch off from the outside world and listen to the music. Let's enjoy cinema not only with our eyes, but also with our ears. After all, this is the real magic of cinema.
