I thought the music added special emotion to a few scenes, especially because it is a black and white film. Throughout the film, the music helped to add to each scene, conveying great sadness, as is the case for the scene after the bomb set by the police went off and you saw the children’s bodies. Or when the women were doing their makeup and the fast paced battle march set your teeth on edge and got your heart pumping faster. The effect of these various musical scores added to the movie in a very potent manner, and played a large role in the films emotional takeaway. Think of how you felt when the carefree dance music was playing in the parlor, all the while knowing the happiness in the scene was going to come to a grinding halt at any moment.
