Music & Movies

   As long as I can remember, I have been a Movie buff. Watching TV series and movies during my youth really has become influential as much as of course reading books and my all time favorite Reader's Digest which I still collect and had fun re- reading back issues and still learn and discover something from it.
   Well going back to the topic, I am really amazed how soundtracks and film scoring really contributed and added essence to famous movies and TV series that made it unforgettable and vice-versa as for some songs and music that was made for movies became hits and made it to the top of the music charts.
   It is with this that I thought I'd collect and share to you some of the famous movies made and their soundtracks and themes.
 


  To start it off I would like to highlight one of my favorite actors the great Charlie Chaplin and his composition "Smile" which was used as a soundtrack to his 1936 movie "Modern Times". Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954. Here's a rendition of the song performed by Michael Jackson and the video clip made by Chaplin's violin that I lifted from Youtube. credit also goes to Wikipedia for some of the information.

Know your Learning and Study Style

Visual learners like to arrange their space and their work; remember what they see rather than what they hear and dont relay on verbal messages. Write them down. Visual learners respond to color, art, and mapping; and may know what to say but have trouble difficulty coming up with the right words. Visual learners like to have to have plan, good organizers, and would rather show you than tell you. Visual learners usually dont mind outside noise, doodle during phone conversations, classes, and meetings. Visual learners are often good spellers, and usually need to have verbal instructions repeated.
