Recommended: Role and importance of music

What I believe the significance of this movie was that through music one can experience different feelings and things depending in the setting you’re in. That boy with synesthesia lived through the world by music. Synesthesia is a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense. Baby was left with a permanent hearing damage and to drown out the ringing in his ears he listened to music nonstop. Music was an escape for him and the music he listened to where all different artist that come from different cultures. Listening to music turned his life into a tap-along, exciting life type of way. When he gets coffee, it is like he adds a type of choreography on his way there and back while listening to music.

    Music plays a major part. Whether its something like making someone happy or sad, it brings that sense of emotion. A movie without music would be boring and dull. It takes the boring and dullness away with a music of suspense or terrorizing. Music has its value in the movie. In the scene where Ron is telling his wife of all his investigation, the music begins slowly when he begins saying, " If I hadn't been out that day, I could have easily gotten myself and everyone else in that room killed." Then, the music gradually increases as he continues to tell his tale. The music is soft and heartfelt. It could also bring anyone to tears because of the emotion set from the music. Later on in the movie, the last scene of where they are at church, Ron walks over to a room where all the children in the elementary school were singing. They were singing a known song for children in the LDS church. The song is titled " A Child's Prayer". Its played at the end and leaves a powerful message.

    Music therapy in the U.S. on the late 18th century. Although the U.S. started using it in the late 18th century, there is evidence of music being used to heal dating back to ancient times.

    Notably, a scene that demonstrates this well is when Mama “...crosses to Beneatha and slaps her powerfully across the face.” (Hansberry 51). Readers can learn from this scene that Mama is the dominant figure in the household. This scene helps enhance the theme of dreams because Mama has a dream of making sure her children believe in some god, and with Beneatha speaking ill about God, Mama corrects her instantly. In addition to that, in the scene where Mama smacks Beneatha, the use of sound was incorporated right after the smack happened, the music was serious and had a pessimistic atmosphere. Viewers learn from the sound that it connects them with the emotion of suspension and how Beneatha must feel. The sound amplifies the theme of dreams by allowing viewers to have a deeper connection with the idea of how crushing dreams can be. This scene was enhanced better in the film than the book because of the actuality of hearing the slap. Taking all these things into consideration, contrasting and comparing the book A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and the film by David Petrie, it is evident that the film used imagery of sound to portray the
