Hello friends, I was watching a movie last night " pursuit of happiness" in HBO and its an awesome movie. Its based on a true story and the actor Will smith has acted wonderfully. Well i was wondering that why movies end up with a song or some kind of music. Do u know the reason? Not only in hollywood, even our films ( Bolly wood ) ends with a song. DO u know the reason? Cheers, Tutul

Well I have seen some movies that end with the main characters goofing around, but generally it's to open up the credits, who produced it and so on, as it's more likely for people to stick around if they like a song and listen to it then know the movie is ending and thats it, if you were watching a movie and heard a song you like when the movie was finishing or your movie finished silently and now everything is silent and the only thing left is the names going up with nothing else, what would keep you longer, and that's most probably what goes through their heads too. Sort of like a marketing strategy, after all the credits are there for a reason, people like to get recognition for their hard work and hope you'll read it wile relaxing to the movie. At least that's what I think...

Hi SK, Yes u r right. No one will sit there if they show just a video and end up. Its a way to make people sit while they show the names of the producers, directors etc. Very well said. Cheers, Tutul

Well, songs in movies are suppose to convey what we should be feeling at certain points in the film. I think that by adding the perfect song helps make the theme clear and adds to the overall effect. I haven't seen too many Bollywood films, but I guess it's different everywhere.

hi tutul0045 , as i think every individual have their own taste some likes to have drama,some like action,some like music etc.so movies are made not for an individual one so in movies their should something for everyone.so that everyone have something to watch in the movie.so should have music too.
