@jolie yeah, well usually in movies that have ball scenes, you are actually able to hear what the characters, the camera is focusing on, are saying. If you can’t hear the two characters talking, and it’s a scene with them with dialogue, you lose whatever dialogue they are saying. Not to be rude, but please stop responding to people’s comments about the music with “at a real ball the music is loud🤪” it’s very annoying and can be implied as rude. Lol, thank you

Honestly same but it's also so iconic and something that I think helps look the character look unique

[@kendallgodfrey6703]

It sets her out from every other book character. If she was just drawn with her hair down she’d look really similar to other characters, where horns are something that signifies it’s her. it’s like her thing

Locke: "Would you forswear a promise for me?" Jude: "What promise?" Locke: "Any promise." Jude: "I guess it depends." Locke: "Do you love me enough to give me up? Isn't that a test of love?" Jude: "I-I don't know." Locke: "Do you love me enough to weep over me?" Jude: "You mean if you were hurt?" Locke: "I mean if I hurt you." Jude: "If you hurt me, I wouldn't cry.

[@madisonmcarthur7207]

​@joliein film you can’t do that though. you have to be able to understand the characters and what’s going on. the only time the music should overlap the dialogue is when it’s intentional Force suspense or keeping a secret form the audience. In real life people aren’t as pretty and there are a lot of boring parts or no happy ending or real ending at all. It’s OK do you want realistic but you also have to realize what’s best for the film

[@LunarWind99]

@BroccoliSandwich Personally I really liked the level of volume for the music!! It sounded more realistic and draws you in more to the atmosphere, in a video (particularly one where the scene isn't being described), its not going to be quite as immersive as the book, no matter how good the animation is, and this also depends how the viewer perceives it. I think that the music made it more immersive like the book, with how atmospheric it is and the ambience really sets the tone
