#71: What movie scene is most magnified by an impressive use of a song (or piece of music)?
We went on a week-long rant about movie elements that drive us nuts. This week we do an about-face and turn back to the things we love about movies:
What movie scene is most magnified by an impressive use of a song (or piece of music)?
Fight it out.
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Saturday wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Monday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?
Know someone who’d like to join as well? Let them know about us. The more fighters, the better. Discounted rates are available for groups of four or more…perhaps sign up your family and friends as a gift.
And the winner is Shannon with Return To Me. Congratulations, Shannon, you get to choose Monday's question.
The song "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush is used masterfully in She's Having A Baby.
Kevin Bacon's character is a first time dad just about to enter his wife's labor and delivery room when all hell breaks looks. The nurses rush him out and he's sent to the waiting area while they perform a high risk delivery. The viewer gets a montage of images of their life, their early marriage, and their new parent preparations while the song pulls on your heart strings. It's a scene that always stuck with me, especially during my own wife's traumatic first labor and delivery.
