When movies were first introduced in the late 1800’s, they were silent. Three decades later, the invention of synchronized soundtracks satisfied our natural desire to hear what is seen. Soundtracks unleashed a wave of creativity in filmmaking that transformed the audience experience. ET would not be the same without the famous score. Jaws would just be a silly robotic fish rather than a movie that kept people out of the water. Today, it’s hard to imagine movies without sound. Sound made movies whole.
