Summary

This quote refers to the role of music in movies, highlighting its ability to create contrasting emotions and dynamics. Dissonance and consonance represent the tension and harmony within the music, which parallels the emotional and narrative arcs in a film. Dissonance creates a sense of unease or conflict, while consonance establishes a feeling of resolution and satisfaction. By manipulating these musical elements, composers can enhance the impact of a scene, heightening suspense, excitement, or drama, and ultimately contributing to the overall storytelling experience.

The real trouble is that 'kindness' is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on quite inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for all his other vices by a conviction that 'his heart's in the right place' and 'he wouldn't hurt a fly,' though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a fellow creature. We think we are kind when we are only happy: it is not so easy, on the same grounds, to imagine oneself temperate, chaste, or humble.
