	Indian Film Music
		Music is commonly used for thematic reasons in Indian films, particularly in the leitmotif sense.
		Indian films also do this, but because the music is so often in the foreground, they take it even further by bursting into song.
		Because the films are musicals, the audience is consciously aware of the music.

		Some of the most compelling film music of the past year appeared not on the big screen but on the small one.
		Music, in these cases, doesn’t show the image as a lie; instead, it is itself the lie we tell ourselves in order to survive.
		Pudovkin was one of the directors who had argued for freethinking musical narratives in film, and it was fitting that Schnittke, the master surrealist of late-twentieth-century music, should have subverted Pudovkin’s story of the education of a Bolshevik hero with all manner of brooding ostinatos, kitschy digressions, and anarchic pileups of tunes.

	Cinema of India Summary
		Indian films are gaining increasing popularity in the rest of the world, especially in countries with large numbers of expatriate Indians.
		The principal difference between American and Indian commercial cinema is that Indian films usually feature periodic song-and-dance routines (thus they can be considered musical films) which, in a good movie, are expected to move the story forward (in mediocre movies, they are poorly integrated into the story).
		Their films were showcased at government film festivals and on the government-run TV station, Doordarshan.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Interview with Satyajit Ray
		There are a lot of directors in Bombay who originally come from the Punjab and, if given a story about their native region, they might be able to produce something worthwhile — something that they feel belongs to them, something that acquires a certain integrity along with its regional characteristics.
		The background was Indian and it was marvelously used: the riverside, the boats, the fishermen, and the general landscape.
		Indian directors as a result have become much more clipped — fades and dissolves are used much less, for instance; we mostly depend now on cuts.

		Often film albums are released before the films are released and therefore there is sometimes a mismatch between the songs on film and the songs on its CD or LP or tape.

		And as he frets, the director, the producer and the studio executives drum their collective fingertips on the tabletop, the precious moments slipping past, his deadline closing in.
		As Elfman explains it, a score is musical insight into a character's mind--melodies, backbeats and orchestral explorations that hint at hidden emotions.
		He liked the way their music presented a point of view and became transfixed by the European classical style of Franz Waxman and Maurice Jarre, composers who were emblematic of the so-called Golden Age of film music, generations before Dolby Digital.
