A long 2,500 word article, wondering out loud about classical music in American film.Classical music, is the 'other' and associated with the villain in America's Hollywood.
How did that come to be, they lament, and will it make classical music unpopular? Since classical music is of the other, that is what those evil people listen to in the movies.
Will people in Western society always associate classical music with that?
Incidentally, classical music, it is also what they played in the opening ceremonies to the 2022 Winter Olympics games!
It was great!
It pushed all my right buttons!
