And nothing beats the score of #StarWars#ThePhantomMenace. I love a lot of film scores, but this one means so much to me. It has so much variety. I especially love it because the music purposefully cuts out or is silenced at particular times during the film to give the sound effects the spotlight.

#StarWars#ThePhantomMenace isn’t a perfect film—but it explored the political situation of the time while still being an utterly thrilling ride. And it still feels like a relevant reflection of the politics of today. It’s a reminder why art (made by real people) is important and should endure.
