Hearing Film: Tracking Identifications in Contemporary Hollywood Film Music Paperback - 2000
by Anahid Kassabian
First line
There has been a tendency in European and American thought since the Enlightenment to categorize music as a particularly pure art.
From the rear cover
Music is central to any film, creating a tone for the movie that is just as vital as the visual and narrative components. In recent years, racial and gender diversity in film has exploded, and the making of musical scores has changed drastically. Hearing Film offers the first critical examination of music in the films of the 1980s and 1990s and looks at the burgeoning role of compiled scores in the shaping of a film.
After outlining the history of film scoring and discussing some basic techniques, Kassabian focuses on contemporary film sound tracks and the issues that they raise. In A WOMAN SCORED, Kassabian analyzes desire and agency in the music of such films as Dangerous Liaisons, Dirty Dancing, and Thelma and Louise. In AT THE TWILIGHT'S LAST SCORING, she looks at gender, race, sexuality, and assimilation in the music of The Hunt for Red October, Lethal Weapon 2, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. And, finally, in OPENING SCORES, she considers how films such as Dangerous Minds, Mississippi Masala, and Corrina, Corrina represent the best in contemporary scoring.
