What is the original motion picture soundtrack? The original motion picture soundtrack is the background music or songs composed and used only for that particular movie. Consider some of the most popular movies, such as Titanic, Avatar, Gladiator, etc., and now imagine these movies without their soundtracks and music. How would you feel watching these movies? It goes without saying, watching a movie without a soundtrack or music would be such a bland experience.
Movies are motion picture stories. Movies inspire us, entertain us, and give us food for thought. Movies give us hope and cinematic memories to get through the hard times in our lives.
Do you ever think about what makes movies so inspiring and engaging aside from the actors’ performances, the incredibly inspiring screenplays, the direction, and the eye-arresting picturizations? Of course, all of these things contribute in a big way to making any movie story a great story. But I strongly believe the real soul of any great movie is its music–the songs used in it and its background music or score. The soundtrack of a movie brings its viewer into its story and then that viewer is able to establish a profound connection to that movie story.
If you take the soundtrack part out from some of the highest-grossing movies of all time, such as Titanic, Avatar, Avengers Endgame, or any popular animated movie for that matter, I’m sure you won’t feel that connection while watching any of those movies.
I believe music is the real soul of any movie. And it’s one of the reasons for me to watch a movie. If the music of a movie is inspiring and complements its sequences, then 9/10 times I’m going to watch that movie from the start until the end if I’m watching it for the first time, and I’ll also watch it many more times again without getting bored because of its good music. That’s how important I think music is in a movie.
