Action Music (in movies) in the past VS the present
by TerryWalstrom inunderstanding action musicin the past vs the present______.
in the golden and silver ages of hollywood, composers with classical, romantic era training created action music out of thematic (tuneful) motifs.
these catchy 'tunes' were used as 'bricks' whilst the orchestral techniques of arranging and orchestration were the 'mortar' binding and building the overall structure towering above mere image+sound effects.the result gave an audience something i will call "an intellectual access" to onscreen "meaning" in the story.what's that?a "tune" is an organizing principle.a tune has a beginning, middle, and end.a tune "tells" us something.what remains is "the way it is spoken.

A different kind of action in this psychological thriller, aka fantasy-horror film:
BLACK NARCISSUS, with Deborah Carr and Kathleen Byron.
The mad scene, at film's end, had been fitted to the earlier-composed, shadowy music, which swells with blood-curdling, operatic intensity toward the climax. The clips on Youtube of one of filmdom's scariest scenes, has had, sad to say, its lush and evocative original score replaced with today's pop music. Why can't excellence be left alone? You simply must rent and view the movie. A devout nun and a deranged psychopath: two sides of the same coin.
Horror, psychodrama, and windiness all peak during the meticulously engineered ‘composed film’ sequence that punctuates Black Narcissus (1:31:50-1:35:35). The stalking begins most explicitly with a shock cut (another popular horror convention) to an extreme closeup of Sister Ruth’s abject eyes (1:32:01) that interrupts a serene but brooding Gothic segment where Sister Clodagh’s silhouette gazes out to the mountainside at dawn, her ‘peripatetic’ lantern placed by her feet. (1:30:55-1:32:00). The tension stirred by the thick shadows, slow-moving camera, howling wind, and lilting harp makes this shock cut all the more eerie and compelling. Following this startling cinematic gesture, the floodgates are opened for what is arguably the film’s ‘crowning jewel’, where “Sister Ruth’s climactic stalking features the subjective camera’s restlessly prowling and startling close-ups of red-rimmed eyes, recognizable aesthetic strategies of the horror movie” (189) and more specifically, the ‘slasher’ subgenre that would develop decades later.

They are our family and everybody here is correct, in many ways they make BETTER companions than humans. Very kind and loving. -- Mr. Flipper
I appreciate what you've shared, Mr. Flipper. What I'm still trying to figure out, however, is some rescue dogs I care for. After three years of care, I still cannot touch "Lady." But she's that way with almost everyone except her owners.

Despite his own discomfort, his main focus was on greeting me and letting me know he loves me. I knew that in his heart he was on his hind legs leaping and spinning with excitement like the puppy he once was. If that's not loyalty and unconditional love, I don't know what is. -- Pete Zahut
I cup my hand round her tiny calico face and compress her from ears to end down the length of her slender body. Repeat. And repeat. If l stop she will nip my thumb again. A sweet little tyrant. But l am hers now. -- humbled
I vowed I would never put myself through this emotional trauma ever again my body wouldnt be able to take it. -- smiddy
Yes it sad when they die but we look at the life they would not have had and the joy they have given us. -- Still Totally ADD
I want to be everything my cat believes himself to be. -- slimboyfat
I take being human as it is, with its good traits and bad traits. -- scratchme1010
A thread calling out for a cute hedgehog picture. -- Amelia Ashton
Thanks for your fine comments. Words to remember.
I'll be caring for a "comfort" dog for an entire week, and, true to the name, he does provide comfort. He helps to destress me because I allow him to by concentrating on him and his needs.

Cults sure know how to indoctrinate it out many. -- jp1692
But no healthy affection is really completely unconditional, because there are things even those we care about the most could say and do that would weaken or break our affection. -- slimboyfat
I feel lucky that I know or have known two dogs with wonderfully warm personalities. -- LoveUniHateExams
Thanks for your observations and experiences. I tried to reply yesterday but my post got hung up and I quit.

Who Are You?

i cannot move forward.
a change of venue, that of diet, even new clothes have afforded me a frivolous and temporary elevation of spirits.

Thanks, Tara!
Some people need a poke!
Edited to add:
Now I get it! I asked a question, viz., "WHO ARE YOU?", and you both replied. Takes so little to throw me off track!

Thanks, punk and Tara.
I appreciate your pithy posts; would you kindly explain. Your meaning is probably obvious, but I just awoke and the cobwebs have yet to clear.

IT'S A STRANGE TWIST, somewhat for the better, but not a totally satisfying state of affairs.
More and more of my family's younger members, raised as Witnesses, have left the organization (some very recently). On the one hand, I am grateful once again to be in contact with them. On the other hand, however, I feel bad for their still-in family who must grieve for their "lost" children.
We all lose, somehow or another . . .
