The film that I have chosen to analyse the music and lighting in is ÃÂCharlieÃÂs Angels: Full Throttle.ÃÂ Directed by McG and music by Edward Shearmur. The movie stars Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore as three crime fighters who work for an anonymous millionaire named Charlie.
The film throughout depends a lot on music; the first thing that I noticed about the music was the fact that it uses a lot of past music from the 1970ÃÂs and the 1980ÃÂs giving the movie a nostalgic feeling. This could be to keep the feel of the original 1976 television series, which ran until 1981. Whilst trying to keep this feel, they also try to add a modern spin to it by using a remix of the original CharlieÃÂs Angels theme tune in the opening sequence, through doing this, the film can appeal to fans of the original television show and the younger generation of today.

The film also uses it for lyrical content as after one of the fight scenes, Alex (Lucy Liu) is in possession of a giant flamethrower whilst the song ÃÂFirestarterÃÂ is playing. Lyrical content happens often in this film, usually in the fight scenes or in dance sequences.
A large majority of the music seems to...
