Welcome to this episode where we take a nostalgic journey through the evolution of music in film and video, from the early days of black-and-white cinema to the vibrant, dynamic music videos of today.

In the early 20th century, movies were silent, and music was a vital component. Silent films relied on live orchestras, pianists, or organists to provide the soundtrack, creating the emotional landscape that the visuals alone couldn't convey. Iconic black-and-white movies often had rich, evocative scores that complemented their narratives. For instance, the films of Charlie Chaplin, known for their comedic brilliance, also featured Chaplin's own musical compositions.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Malaysian film industry saw a golden era with stars like P. Ramlee, who was not only an actor but also a singer, songwriter, and director. P. Ramlee's films were known for their memorable songs, which often became hits on their own. His movies seamlessly integrated music into the storyline, enhancing the emotional and cultural resonance of the films.

Fast forward to the 1980s, and the music video became a phenomenon, thanks to MTV (Music Television). Launched in 1981, MTV revolutionized the way we consumed music. It wasn't just about listening to songs on the radio anymore; now, audiences could watch their favorite artists perform in creative, often groundbreaking music videos. From Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to Madonna's "Like a Prayer," music videos became an art form in their own right, influencing fashion, dance, and pop culture.

In Indian cinema, particularly Bollywood and Tamil movies, music has always been integral. Unlike the typical Hollywood film, Indian movies often include elaborate musical numbers that are crucial to the narrative. These films can be three to four hours long and feature a blend of music and dance that provides both entertainment and a deeper emotional connection to the story.

Bollywood movies, known for their grand musical scenes, often have songs that are released as singles before the movie, creating a buzz and drawing audiences to the theaters. Tamil cinema, similarly, features intricate dance sequences and soulful music, often highlighting traditional and contemporary themes.

For many of us, MTV was a cultural touchstone. We remember rushing home from school to catch the latest videos, staying up late to watch "Headbangers Ball" or "120 Minutes," and discovering new music through shows like "TRL" (Total Request Live). MTV was more than just a channel; it was a community and a way of life.

The journey of music in visual media has been long and varied, from the silent film era's live orchestras to today's high-budget, high-concept music videos. Each era brought its own innovations and left an indelible mark on our collective memory. Whether it's the classic charm of P. Ramlee's films, the spectacle of Bollywood, or the pioneering spirit of MTV, music and film have always been intertwined, evolving together to create the rich tapestry of entertainment we enjoy today.

Join us next time as we explore more fascinating topics in the world of music, movies, and culture. Thank you for listening!

In this episode, we discussed about if a passenger cancel on DSazly's grabcar services cause maybe by then he is too famous, or too controversial and netizens know about him. *Hopefully we wouldn't end up like that as it is just a precautionary discussion among us as we learn how to avoid these issues base only whatever controversies going on.
