In February 13, 2015 many book readers were anxiously waiting for the release of “Fifty Shades of Grey” the movie. Fifty Shades of Grey is a series of books adapted into a movie. This movie was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and produced by E.L James, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca. The music composer of Fifty Shades of Grey is Danny Elfman. Danny Elfman is a well know composer and songwriter that has produced many soundtracks. In the film Fifty Shades of Grey a young student name Anastasia Steele goes to interview with Christian Grey and discovers that he is full of mysteries. Throughout the movie Anastasia discovers that Christian likes to have everything under control, including her. During the movie they start a relationship, which …show more content…
In the scene when Anastasia and Christian are having sexual intercourse the composer plays crazy in love. The characters themselves did not play the song they were not aware it is playing in the background. The song was added to enhance the scene. The song “Crazy in Love” was released in 2003 by Beyoncé and her husband Jay- Z. “Crazy in love” was Beyoncé’s first number one single in the United States. However, for the movie Fifty Shades of Grey Beyoncé created a remix to her single to make an adaptation for the red room scene. Sam Taylor-Johnson the director of Fifty Shades of Grey was trying to convey passion with the song “Crazy in Love”. The music in the red room makes everyone feel excited and sexual. The director tries to make his audience interact with the scene by trying to make his audience feel the same passion Anastasia and Christian are feeling. He is also trying to create more success to his film, by having a popular song like “Crazy in Love” in his film it would promote the scene/movie. The song choice was an excellent way to convey passion to the audience. It gives the audience that sexual passion between Christian and Anastasia are having in the scene. With “Crazy in Love” playing in the background while they are having sexual intercourse, it shows that Anastasia is enjoying every second of it. If you watch the scene without the music it shows something a different scene.

“Love and Other Catastrophes: A Mix Tape” is a work by Amanda Brown that makes everyone recall a relationship at one point in their lives. The music we listen to tells a lot about what we are going through, and in this story, the author is going through a breakup. Despite all of these songs on this list, there is a song that is not. “You Always Hurt the One You Love” is a song by the Mills Brothers that was released in 1957. Without a doubt, this song should been included in this work.
This song was released in May 2006 in the United states, with the intended audience being people ranging in age from middle school age to college age. He chose this range in age to connect to a broad amount of people, with the general assumption that they would be familiar with what love is, or have experienced it themselves.
In the chapter, the gray zone, the author Primo Levi describes the human relationships inside the Lager. In describing the gray zone, Levi discusses the different roles of prisoners assigned by the Nazi. The prisoners that did the work were seen as being more privileged which at the end of the day helped them get more food and live better. Therefore, the concept of the gray zone is analyzing the difference between the privileged and the non-privileged in the Lager. The difference can be seen by the tasks that the prisoners carried out, for example, one of the groups were seen as, “Low ranking functionaries... sweepers, kettle washers, night watchmen, bed smoothers... checkers of lice and scabies,
I chose this song because, in my opinion, it has a good thesis that backs up the song lyrics and it gives you a positive feeling. Basically, the song is telling us to always keep our faith and stay strong no matter what. It encourages people to
Most children are not very fond of reading books in school. I was one of those children until I read a novel called, “The Other Side of Dark” written by Joan Lowery Nixon in the 4th grade. My school had held a book fair during the week of open house. As a child, all children want the toys and games they had at the book fair, not bothering to even glance at the books. My mother told me to look for a book that was not only easy for me to read but something that I would enjoy. I walked around our petite library, which was where the book fair was being held, and scanned the various novels that were displayed until one caught my eye. I was only 10 years old looking for a book without the knowledge of what types of literature that interested me. As I turned the corner at the end of the library I caught a glimpse of a hardcover novel called “The Other Side of Dark”. On the back of novel I read the synopsis which was about a 13 year-old girl who was shot and put into coma until she was 17 years old waking up to discovering that her family was also murdered by the same person who shot her 4 years ago. I was quickly captivated by this summary on the back of the novel and persuaded to read further. Open house was coming to an end and my family and I headed back to our house in La Mirada, California. One of our homework assignments was to read at least 20 minutes a night to improve our reading skills. We quickly arrived at our home and I
Ruta Sepetys is the author for Between the Shades of Gray, a novel that captures the truth of Siberian camps and the annexation of the Balkans by Stalin. Ruta Sepetys got the idea to write this fictional story when she visited her family in Lithuania and got the chance to discover more about her heritage. She got very fascinated about her family’s struggle to keep memories of her grandparents because of the annexation of Lithuania to the USSR. This conflict urged her to find out more about the feelings and people’s memoirs during this period in World War II so, she started interviewing the survivors from the Siberian gulags and gathered information to write her novel. The book was also inspired by her father, Jonas Sepetys, who escape
The use of music is a key to determining if a film is in the musical genre. Not only are songs used to further the story along in a musical, but they also have the ability to put the audience in the emotional state of the character singing. Song has always been used as a good conductor for emotional understanding. For example, during the song "You Were Meant for Me" in Singin’ in the Rain, Don Lockwood is able to confess his love to Kathy Selden in a way that feels magical and shows a connection between the two would be lovers. Also, the song “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” in Grease is able to betray the emotional depth of the character Rizzo’s fear, shame, and anger. At the time this film came out, topics such as teen pregnancy were not generally presented in films. By having this character sing her issue, the audiences, who may have dismissed her outright for her actions, are able to sympathize with her plight. Moreover, in Rent, the song "I'll Cover You" by Angel and Collins allow the viewer to get caught up in this young couple's relationship without having to worry or even consider that this is a gay couple.
Music was a significant part of the story. Oates described “music was always in the background” and that continued from the beginning of the story at the drive-up restaurant until the very end with Arnold’s singing sigh. Oates stated that music “was something to depend on” and that Connie “listened to the music that made everything so good”. Music was Connie’s escape from the real world and way for her to relax like she did on Sunday in the backyard. Music took her to a place she could rely on to daydream about love and the boys she had met in the summer. Her ideas of romance came from the music she listened to and showed how naive she was about love. The music Connie listened to was “hard, fast, shrieking songs” that gave her a “slow-pulsed
The soundtrack made the film The Great Gatsby such a huge success. The artists were specially chosen by the producer Anton Monsted to compliment the novel. The artists integrated the intense emotional feelings described in the book as well as direct quotations into their songs. This helps the music better fit the novel. It also blends genres such as today's hip hop and 1920’s Jazz in an incredible way. The soundtrack was beautiful and flattered the movie while incorporating the books themes and imagery. Interviews were later given to discuss the filmmaking and production of the soundtrack, which gave background to the reasoning behind the music. Along with this were critical reviews as well.
In the “Great Gatsby” movie soundtrack, Jay-Z, the soundtrack’s executive producer, compiled an excellent variety of modern day songs in this movie reflecting the 1920’s era. The songs chosen for this film would be most characterized as songs of love, romance, extravagance, grandeur, high society, mystery and many other qualities. These traits of song themes were chosen for this soundtrack as well as modern day songs twisted into a 1920’s melody. Jay-Z did an excellent job of doing so. Although all the songs were excellent and connected very well to the movie, there were two songs in the soundtrack that really caught my eye for various reasons. “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey, a modern day song, was best chosen for the love scenes and can be a song that tells about Daisy’s perspective. Another piece of music which was composed in the time period of when this story is told is “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin. Its power, grandeur, as well as elements of surprise fit very well in several scenes in the movie.
Many say that music has evolved over the years. This essay shall explore the elements of two versions of one song. It shall discuss the correlations and disparities of these songs and confer how it has been revolutionised to entertain the audiences of today.
The Song ended up becoming a top ten hit from the Billboards top 100. This song has been featured in many movie’s, such as Temple Grandin.
The song is typical of its’ genre because it is a love song like so many others in the R&B genre. There are many rhetorical appeals in the song, such as ethos and pathos. The music video tells us that John Legend was singing that song for his future wife Chrissy Teigen, so that would make John Legend credible. In a lot of videos it is a random person with the artist, but in this particular video John uses his real fiancée and shows that it is not a perfect relationship. This allows him to be credible because he is using his own real life situation and not an unrealistic one. When you think of the emotional appeals in the song(pathos), you’ll see that the entire lyrics are emotional. This is a love song with a lot of emotions throughout the lyrics. “Give your all to me. I'll give my all to you. You're my end and my beginning. Even when I lose I'm winning”, these song lyrics are showing how John feels about Chrissy and their love for each other. You can understand the emotional connection that the two share. The music video helps cement their relationship because the video only includes John and Chrissy. John is showing his love towards Chrissy by singing to her and the audience sees the emotions between
I chose this song because I think it represents the conversation between Desdemona and Othello when Othello insinuates to her that she is cheating on him. The line in the song, “Did we really come this far just to watch it go down the drain” reminds me of the play because Desdemona gave up everything to be with Othello; she had to give up her relationship with her father, her money and her reputation. She did this because she felt Othello was worth it. In Act 4, Scene 2 Othello finally confronts Desdemona about his suspicions however before he really asked her, he insinuates it by dropping hints that of course she wouldn’t understand. After this she says innocently, “I hope my noble lord esteems me honest” which makes us understand that she has no clue what is going on at the moment. This song is as if she was talking to him. She says we need to trust each other. Othello knows Desdemona and should know that she would never cheat on him. This song is fitting for this scene because it is slow and
