This article written by Jon Brion discusses the music used for the soundtrack of
I Love Huckabees, directed by David Russell. In this article Brion talks about how much of an important role music plays in a film. Brion stated,
David and I had a conversation about how disgustingly gratuitous song placement in the movies has become, and how most soundtrack music doesn't have a sense of song to it.
Dustin Hoffman plays an "existential detective" who probes coincidences in his clients' lives and raves like an aging acidhead about how everything is connected to everything else.
Because, the movie had many tension points, Brion agreed with Russell on how he focused his music on the most emotional tension points.

That is true! A lot of films these days tend to not notice the importance sound is to a film. Sound create suspense and emotions that newbie directors these days tend to ignore. This is a good essay to use for formalism.
