Ocean's 13 (2007)


 * Soundtracks: **

1. Uprising - Muse There is one scene which I can't find the video for, but was the scene when Ellen Barkin met Mr. Wang who was in disguise for the first time. As Matt gets off the plane the song starts, and I decided to use this song to portray the weather but also provide the coolness inside this scene. Although the weather seems hot, the song gives the audience a cool breeze-like rhythm which entertains them.

2. Metamorphosis - phynn media type="youtube" key="Hkpby4ZEf70" height="238" width="292" align="center" This scene may be unimportant, but the song needed more enthusiasm, especially with the failure at the end. Thus, by choosing this song, the scene can be more blasting and modernized. The song made the scene even more depressing.

3. What You Do - Chrisette Michele media type="youtube" key="NhTlTLNkbUw" height="240" width="294" align="center" This scene is when Matt is seducing Ellen so that he can get access to the diamond room. By using this song, it sets up the mood, but also tells the audience that it isn't a real emotional scene. By using a little faster beats than the original, we can see that it is not a heavy relationship, but just a plan.

4. Echo - Ciara media type="youtube" key="pg5TcIi0zSo" height="240" width="286" align="center" When Brad Pitt tells Matt what to do and what not to do, it is an echo because he keeps telling him. So, I chose the lyrics to portray what was happening in this scene. Also, the music's volume should be low because the audience shouldn't try to listen too hard to the music.

5. Love Lockdown media type="youtube" key="711i0u-HN3A" height="240" width="294" align="center"

This song can be used in this scene to show the heartbeat of the characters when they are about to earn millions of dollars, and accomplish their goals. This song will be able to portray the emotional feelings, and as well as bring out the rhythm and excitement in this scene.

6. Know Your Enemy - Greenday media type="youtube" key="N9Gdyg2FMO8" height="226" width="276" align="center" For this scene as well, I decided to use this song to show the characteristics of Don as he enters the room. His existence is so strong that it is almost impossible to deny it. Thus, by including this song, it brings up his existence, and the lyrics warn the audience about the enemy. Al Pacino was the enemy, and the lyrics show that there is an enemy close to him and that he should be careful.

7. Everybody Wants You - Billy Squier media type="youtube" key="PxZETZEwe4k" height="222" width="274" align="center"

This song had to be somewhat ironic, but also awkward. This is because as the plot goes on, the guest is being kicked out of his own room, and the situation, as viewed by the audience is uneasy. Thus, by providing a somewhat like a folksong, it brings out the theme and mood of that scene even more.

8. Love Games - Lady Gaga media type="youtube" key="6wxQFzRV2Cs" height="212" width="261" align="center"

This scene is when the casino that the oceans are going to hack in was being introduced. And since this place is where many play games like poker, jackpot and so on, I used the song Love Games to declare and clear out what kind of place they were aiming at.

9. Le Jardin - Kevin Kern media type="youtube" key="fpu4OHOjTRA" height="221" width="272" align="center" In this part of the movie, the two characters are watching an Oprah's show, and they are emotionally struck. The two men starts to cry, and I believe that in this scene there needs to be a delicate, somewhat classic-like song to bring out the emotions they are having.

10. Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus media type="youtube" key="2wxQ-Ze-xKg" height="222" width="274" align="center"

This scene was the end scene, and the song matches this scene a lot because it provides a summary of how to enjoy life in America. Although the main idea of this movie is to steal money, the characters needed to enjoy their lives with that money. And so, the rhythm of the song and lyrics as well combine and brings out the overall idea of the film.
