2nd option of Blog 4

 I wasn't sure if the 1st blog was solid enough as a film example, consequently I made another in case.

              Mission Impossible 2 is the quintessential glamorized spy thriller, and the soundtrack certainly stimulates the action with adventurous sound. In this scene, Nyah had just injected herself with a virus called chimera to prevent it from getting into the bad guy’s hands. Agent Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) is shocked and upset that the woman he loves will die in 20 hours if they do not get the cure in time. A firefight erupts and Nyah insists Ethan should kill her. The non diegetic music in the background is soft but dramatic sound as Ethan decides on whether or not to follow her request. The Spanish acoustic guitar plays the music heard when Ethan first sees Nyah , which becomes her song throughout the movie. The exotic cords add a touch of sensuality and passion between the two characters. The music turns and roars as he throws a bomb against the wall away from them. He says that he refuses to kill her and will do everything he can to save her. We hear the dramatic music and gunshots only as Ethan runs heroically. and fires against the enemies. He runs out where the bomb had left an opening in the wall, and jumps out of the skyscraper. The music pauses as he is falling through the night, silence surrounds Ethan until we hear the parachute being opened.  Having it turn into a holy-like sound when he makes his escape from the dangerous chaos inside to the safety outside as he falls almost gracefully through the air, enhances the relief for the viewer that the protagonist got away.
