Q4: Post #5

Since we are still doing a lot of choice book stuff I'm going to do this post about SlaughterHouse-Five which I have now finished. First off I thought it was excellent, I loved how Vonnegut told us how it began and ended in the first chapter, it makes me think of how time is presented in the novel. For my group project I did the scene music portion, so it got me thinking what other songs would I use in the rest of the film? For my project I did "Soldier Side" by System of a Down which I would put during the investigation of Dresden. But I knew there had to be other songs in the film so I thought of a few others. I would put "All these things that I've Done" by The Killers when Billy fully assembles his ridiculous outfit during the war, because he gets ridiculed for wearing the outfit and it reminds me of the lines "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier." During the bombing of Dresden I would put "The Blitz, 1940" by Harry Gregson-Williams because it was written to reflect the bombing of Britain which would have been very similar to that of Dresden, since both were targeting civilians. Another song I would use would be "The General" by Dispatch not necessarily in a specific part but because the general in the song sees the war through time travels in his dreams like Billy. Also like Billy he reflects on war very negatively.
