Journal #9

It didn’t take long, after reading “Musical Cheese: The Appropriation of Seventies Music in Nineties Movies”, to realize that I was totally confused. Whose idea was it to use the term “cheese” to examine the idea of music in movies? From what I could understand, he has a very bias on the music topic. I completely disagree with what he is trying to point out. “Cheese” adds depth in a movie. The music in movies is used for a purpose. It is to bring the audience that much closer into feeling like they are there. Imagine a movie without music. You would have yourself an old Charley Chaplin film, which can be entertaining, but not all that it could be. The drama and emotion presents well in films because of the music being played. The music in a movie ties everything else together. Its how you serve the film. Imagine your favorite meals, everything you ever wanted, served on a trash can lid. It’s the delivery that counts. A movie, without the right sound, is the same way. Kevin Dettmar is being way to crucial in his article. In my opinion the article presented itself in a bad way, which made the entire article bad.
