West Side Story, rethought

Claudia Gorbman, in her article “Narrative Film Music”:

“Whatever music is applied to a film segment will do something, will have an effect—just as whatever two words one puts together will produce a meaning different from that of each word separately because the reader/spectator automatically imposes meaning on such combinations.”

I’ll extend Gorbman’s point to encompass general sound design–here’s another brilliant film trailer “mash-up,” (mov), this one mixing West Side Story with 28 Days Later.
