Reservoir Dogs.
In this 90's sensational movie 'Reservoir Dogs' contrapuntal sound is clearly demonstrated throughout the scene of 'Cops Ear'. This is made clearly evident as a man is clearly being hurt in an extremely violent manor whilst he continues to play uplifting music. This music is clearly juxtaposed within the scene of the movie as they both represent strong nature of sorrow and happiness. The music that is playing during the horrid torture of a police officer appears to be diegetic sound that is coming from the world of the movie as the man starts to use the record player. However this is clearly untrue and one way this is exemplified is through the sound bridge that appears right after the torture scene has ended and carries on throughout the next scene. This diegetic sound played is also clearly started off as basic contrapuntal music.
The cop seems to be in a very bad shape since an audience can clearly see the immense amount of pain he is in, however the audio played during this scene is quite merrily and contended in comparison to what a general audience would expect to hear from this type of media.
