Music plays a crucial role in shaping the emotional response of the audience, influencing both the mood and character emotions in films. Cinema Paradiso features a beautiful soundtrack that complements its romantic themes and picturesque setting, while Christopher Nolan’s films often use epic scores to create tension and suspense, as seen in The Dark Knight and Oppenheimer.
