The Score made me sad


I never realised until recently just quite how important the Role of the Score is in any film, when you think back to the all time greats you can immediately identify them by their music. And you even have to wonder does the film make the music or the music make the Film?

If you take the Score away from Jaws you just have a shot of the Ocean,
Take it out of Forrest Gump and its just a Doofus sat on a bus stop.

However with Ghostbusters 1 i think the score is well remembered because of the greatness of the film and hearing it piped in over 25 minute scenes of 3 duds walking around an old house with little interaction or any action at all bar the odd flash of something we remember from the original film in fact was quite depressing

The thing is at first i was actually enjoying it because it felt like a Ghostbusters film but it didn't take long to realize it was only because that familiar tune was playing over the top of everything and i was being lazily manipulated

I think that could be the reason a lot of people were allegedly crying at the finale, not because of Egon but because we are literally seeing ghosts of a bygone era and we are only reminded of how great movies used to be
