Introduction to Film

This exploration delves into the unique musical scores and songs used by the Coen Brothers, specifically how their films reflect the Hero's Journey. From silent films to contemporary classics like "Raising Arizona," "Fargo," and "No Country for Old Men," we analyze how music enhances plot, setting, and emotions. We explore the influence of Appalachian music and cultural allusions, including works by William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor. The Coen Brothers masterfully intertwine their quirky narratives with a musical backdrop that speaks to Southern life and the complexities of their characters.
