At the end of Oceans 11 the main characters part ways without dialogue, only with Claire de la Lune playing in the back. I would arguably say that this is a more impactful then a drawn out goodbye. The setting of Las Vegas is perfect for this “larger than life” music. #ENG2D05
Sometimes less is more, in this scene you can hear the deep tones of the soundtrack. The sound is accentuated by the lack of dialogue and using wind and the sound of helicopter blades as short but powerful pauses, only elevate the intensity as the film draws to a close. #ENG2D05
In the sushi scene of Isle of Dogs, the ominous tone of the music tells the viewer something sinister is about to occur. Sometimes it is better to use the show don’t tell method or in this case music don’t tell. #ENG2D05#ENG2D

The Dark Knight is one of the highest rated films of all time. It’s final scene portrays Gotham turning its back on Batman for the greater good. The music of the final scene sets it up for the story to continue, not for it to end. #END2D05#ENG2D
