Also: I've heard that sound in movies-sound effects and musical accompaniment-are essential but often unnoticed-they are key to a good movie, yet the audience often gets so absorbed in the experience that the music is interpreted as a tone for the scene rather than as a standalone piece. For a lot of movies, I've found this to be the case-I get the experience of the music, but don't' really think about the theme itself in a conscious way.
For other movies, though, the themes stand out! In Star Wars, Inception, any number of Miyazaki films, the music seems to have a life of its own, and feels as unique as the film itself.
So my question is, I guess, what makes a good soundtrack? Is it important that the sound should feel unnoticed, like it's embedded in the film, or should it aspire to rise above it as an independent artistic achievement? Are these two equal paths or is one better than the other?
