The Godfather

The Godfather

In that short clip of the Godfather, sound is used very well, making it go with what is happening. When Solozo starts to speak Italian to Michael there are no subtitles showing, which gives us a sense of secrecy and we are excluded from the conversation. When Michael goes to the bathroom to get his gun, but when he is about to come out the sound of a train is rushing through his ears and other sounds are blocked and drowned out. This train sound reflects his mood and gives us a sense of panic and fear of what he is about to do with the gun.

As he exits the bathroom, Michael goes to sit down and as Solozo is talking is voice is fading out with the train sound going louder and louder.
