A good movie is inseparable from good music

In the past, watching movies was very casual, focusing only on the storyline, that is, watching the level of the screenwriter's story. Later, after watching a lot of movies, I found that a movie, especially an excellent movie, contains a lot of things, and music is indispensable in it. I even think that an excellent soundtrack is the soul of a movie.
Many movies have become classics and enduring for a long time. In addition to the characteristics of the music itself, it also has a catalytic effect on the advancement of the movie's plot. Of course, musical theater movies are another matter. After all, in such movies, music is the core, and there is no comparison with the soundtrack of ordinary movies.
In the case of the Coen brothers' "Three Kings", the musical performance plays a big role in the film, although it's not really a musical. The success of this film is not only due to the excellent soundtrack, but the music in the film plays a big role in the narrative function and atmosphere.
The movie is a comedy. The overall music is mainly cheerful. In terms of narrative function, it can match the compact storyline. In the story scene, it can set off the atmosphere and render the comedy atmosphere. At the same time, it can also highlight the character creation. The characters and their respective personalities are revealed, because most of the characters in the comedy are caricatured, the characters are stretched and exaggerated, and the cheerful music is in line with this change.

    It has always been the Coen brothers' dedication to westerns and road films. The atmosphere is brisk. It feels not black humor but direct humor. With a lot of use of country folk songs and soul blues, it's a very ridiculous movie.
