In this thread I want to show how important the music is to create emotions in a media. Well, it's not only the quality of the composition itself, rather it is important how to implement it right to represent a specific situation. There are only very few talented people who understand the art of creating tension. In my opinion one of the best composers is
Ennio Morricone who did a brillant job with his awesome work.

The Great Silence (1968)

I watched
The Great Silence some days ago and I have to say it is also the most dramatic movie ever. The dramatic ending was a problem for some countries so that the movie got an alternate ending (a good one), but the regisseur
Sergio Corbucci saw it as a parody of his original director's cut.
Most modern/other movies from the past 20 years don't have the ability to create such emotional feelings by their compositions. Some exceptions are:
Let The Right One In (2008)
