The One Hour With You Film Analysis

Decent Essays
The One Hour With You directed by Lubitsch in 1932. It is the early sound film in the film history. It combines sound effects, dialogues as well as background music in one film.
The director used two tracks of sound for one scene. In this film, we could hear the characters’ dialogue and the background music at the same time many times. At the beginning of the film, when chief talks with his subordinates, we can hear the chief’s words and the passionate symphony at the same time. This is because two tracks were used in this scene. One sound track records the chief’s words, and another sound track records the background music. “Perhaps most important, by 1931 it became increasingly possible to record more than one track of sound for a scene

These luxuries are not available to people in other countries and I believe that if I had to step into one of the four children in the movie On the Way to School I could handle living Carlos’s life.

    Film music is used to accompany the story line of a film and helps to create the world of the film in a sonic sense that will affect the viewer subconsciously. It is a defining element in the ambience of a film’s atmosphere, capable of turning a situation from sedentary to tense in a single chord change. It provides a sonic narrative of the plot development, normally moving to different themes and suites for different scenes. People can hear a melody or a movement from their favourite film and immediately be taken back to the palpable emotions conveyed in the exact scene by the culmination of music and action. Often the use of a reprise can remind the viewer of action that took place earlier when the same music was played.…

    The film I chose to do for this film review assignment was Longtime Companion. The movie premiered in 1989 and during that time our society was just beginning to understand that AIDS was a disease and research was being done on how to treat this disease. In the early 1980’s and up until the release of the film, those that had been diagnosed with AIDS had a very poor prognosis for survival. Also when the movie was released, society was beginning to realize that AIDS not only affected the gay community, but every member of our society.

    The film Hearts and Minds is a documentary made by Peter Davis in 1974 to portray America’s unethical involvement in Vietnam and examine the opinions of many by showing interviews and vivid footages. The film focuses more on those who were against the war than those who supported it. For the U.S. all that mattered was the victory. However, those who were opposed to the war felt that there was no right or reasonable justification for their actions. The real issue illustrated by the film was whether the U.S. wanted to protect the country from communism or to manifest its greatest power in the world by winning another war.…

Most of the tracks included in the soundtrack were written by Alexandre Desplat, a French film composer. As a musician, I would say the most outstanding tracks were by Beethoven even if the movie only included one or two tracks of his work. The background music fit the scenes as perfect as a glove.…
