Largely created by Truffaut in his famous essay a certain tendency in French Cinema he argued that a film, through the way in which its images are presented to the audience on the screen, should express and reflect the personality of the director.

Two films that show the contrast between of music’s role in film are Jaws composed by John Williams and Batman composed by Danny Elfman. From the use of music to the different producers that they compose for, these composers contrast significantly.

and Ethan Coen are the producers of the film, and it is hailed as the best film ever produced by the Coen brothers. The movie brings a new level of seriousness, a subtler touch, and an unbelievable depth and breadth of the vast sense of humanity to the Coen universe. In adapting the McCarthy's novel, the two brothers scaled the visual vocabulary in the film to match the bare-bones prose of the novel's author. In as much as the movie has little visual kinetics like other films, it tells a…
