What Are The Best Violin Movies
What Are The Best Violin Movies How is the Violin Represented in Cinema? ChaptersMusic and Cinema: Two Unifying ThemesViolin Movies: The Violin TeacherViolin Movies: Plum ChickenFeature Film on the Violin: The SoloistViolin Filmography: The ConcertViolin Movies: The ViolinMovies on the Violin: The MelodyViolin Cinema: The Red ViolinMusic drives out hate in those who are without love. She gives peace to those who are without rest, she comforts those who cry - Pablo CasalsIt's a fact, and it's even become a popular quote, music soothes the soul. Indeed, between the clarinet, cello, chamber orchestra, sonata, or Bernstein... there are so many instruments, songs and musicians who help us drift away into our pleasant memories or happy thoughts.According to Cadenceinfo, only 3% of people do not like music, which means that 97% do. A very high percentage, which has become one of the main pastimes and interests of the population. Evidenced by the creation and existence of awards for the best original music in a film or television series.It is, therefore, natural that cinema has embraced songs, and thematic background music, to enhance their films and audience's emotions, sometimes even making music their main topic. This is particularly the case for the violin, which we're about to see, as it has helped to create many beautiful films, like a cinematic symphony!books on the violin.Violin Filmography: The ConcertA concert, a musical instrument, an audience, we don't need anything more to make a film about the violin! (Source: Pixabay)Released in 2009, The Concert is a film brought to life by Mélanie Laurent, through the prism of the Bolshoi orchestra, which leads the narrative thread of the film. The Concert is a story of travel, from the Soviet Union to France, from music to emotions, embodied by a large group of actors.A movie-going experience makes sense in all ways here as it is precisely all our senses that are called into action in this movie. Indeed, throughout history, we can distinguish beautiful music in all its glory, including t he instruments that interests us today: the violin, played passionately and with great talent. It's undeniable, when music is the centrepiece of a film, it often makes a great cinematic experience!Violin Movies: The ViolinIn 2007, The Violin was released, a Mexican film (or rather, drama), staged against a backdrop of political turmoir. The main characters of this film, a father and his son, lead a double life, between being guerrillas trying to overthrow their government to musicians playing music on their small farm.Many events, fit in-line with the sometimes cruel reality of life, however, music remains the pivot, the pillar, and, once again, a great accessory giving weight to beautiful values, good feelings, and moments of grace in the film. A must-see even more so if you are interested in Mexico!Movies on the Violin: The MelodyReleased in 2017, this film, directed by Rachid Hami and including Kad Merad and Samir Guesmi, takes for its main character (who could it be?) the vio lin! The Melody is a fictional story of a violinist who is a little disillusioned with life, who finds himself one day as a music teacher (of the violin, to be precisely) facing a difficult class of 12 yr old students.However, a very shy child stands out, and discovers a passion, even a real talent, for the violin, who then carries everyone along with him, including the teacher, evoking his memories of music and harmony.The Melody is proof that the violin can be enough to hold a film together from the beginning to the end, with, as a bonus, emotions, and events worthy of a real violin novel. A very captivating film about the power of music, its unifying force, and its universal character, which unites people together, despite the negative things that can happen and the tensions that can arise between humans.Violin Cinema: The Red ViolinThe Red Violin is a film which was released in 1998, tells us the story of Nicolo Bussotti, a violin maker who, despite the death of his wife and s on, decides to finish the violin he was in the midst of creating. Following this, this same violin will travel around the world, and we follow its journey.This is the proof that music, which has a universal quality, can travel through time and space and knows no bounds. To crown it all off, this film received the Oscar for the best musical score!Through this selection of films centred around the violin, we begin to see that this incredible instrument, beyond being beautiful, can be a universal force, bringing to the human culture something more sensitive, harmonious, and unifying, of which we are all in need!
