From Ace of Base to Mozart, join us as we take a deep dive into the music that scores pivotal
and iconic scenes from the X-Men films and X-Men ‘97. We also want to hear from you – what
songs do you think best encapsulates some fan favorite X-characters?
This class explores musical storytelling in X-Men media, analyzing how music choices enhance
character arcs and plot development. For example, does Mozart’s “Queen of the Night” aria
foreshadow Beast’s story in X-Men ’97, or does Puccini’s “Un bel di vedremo” hint at Rogue’s
future? We’ll also examine the political implications of Ace of Base’s “Happy Nation.”
Additionally, we’ll delve into the significance of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony in Apocalypse’s
climactic scene and the use of Mozart’s Requiem in Nightcrawler’s White House infiltration.
Through listening and discussion, we’ll uncover how music adds depth and meaning to these
iconic scenes and characters. The class will also include an interactive segment where you can
share your own musical interpretations of X-Men characters.
