music is the soundtrack of life

I was watching a movie the other day that the title slips my memory. i just know it has Edward Norton in it and has something to do with a priest and a rabbi. (i know it sounds like the start to a bad joke, but thats what tivo had as the description) I figured out the name of the movie thanks to IMDB. Its called Keeping the Faith. Anyway there was a scene in the movie that some would call a montage but i think it was much different than that. This scene wasn't just clips of different events with some inspirational music in the background. The music of this "montage" was very empethetic, in that the lyrics of the song actually were describing alot of the things that were goin on in the scenes. In some of the scenes you see people talking but there is no sound of the conversations, just the music. I found this to be extremely effective in portraying alot of hidden emotions of the characters with out just coming out and explaining it. The producers could have just come up with some cheesy montage with just another song that would not have actually given any support to the plot, but they actually put some thought into which song they picked and made an incredibly effective scene.
