Movies "in concert"

[Sandra Merkatz]

On YouTube I saw some videos, where they play a whole movie (not just some scenes, but the whole movie!) on the big screen, while an orchestra plays the music. You still hear the actors talking and all the sound effects in the movie, but the music comes from a live orchestra.

 

Here is an example for "Raiders of the Lost Ark":

 

 

 

 

What do you think of it? Do you like the idea or not? Have you been in such a show?

 

I like the idea, and it reminds me of the old days of cinema, when there were musicians who accompanied a movie, in the silent film era. It gives the orchestras, the musicians a job too; many musicians lost their jobs back then when silent movies were gone.

 

 

Greetings,
