The Sound of Silence

I thought the music was extremely interesting throughout the entire movie. I think to have the same type of music playing in different occasions, depending on what is going on adds to the emotional part of the movie. Something that I notices was the song 'The Sound of Silence" only played a few times all representing Benjamin not knowing what to do. It played when Ben was in the pool and there was no outside noise that was chirping in telling Ben what he has to do. That pool scene was one of the only times that Ben had no outside influence. A time of peace. It also played at the end after Ben and Elaine left the wedding. Something I also noticed before the song came on was that the sound was actually muted or edited out. Ben was going against what everyone wanted him to do and he was not going to listen to what people are going to say. He enjoys the Sound of Silence.
