The music role in the cinema recreation process

Abstract

The meaning effects engendered by musical resources bring and instigate emotion, ideas, feelings. The music has the power of lulling, touching, envolving, telling histories. Thus, this paper aims to show the importance of music role in the cinema for the movie recreation. We can say recreation because this paper studies the adaptation from a literary text to a cinematographic text. This research brings the transmutation of forms in the novel Primo Basílio by the Portuguese writer Eça de Queirós (1878) to the movie produced and directed by Daniel Filho (2007). Through the Translation Teory, the Genetic Criticism Methodology, as well as the analysis of the music used for the final shooting of the movie in study, it is possible to notice the music role importance in the cinema in regard to telling histories, synthesizing happenings, contributing with the truth impression, assisting the fidelity, reconstructing the plot, ultimately, actualizing the cinema recreation.
