To me, the score and the extremely surgically artful way Lee and the composer placed the pieces, both under and almost inaudilble as well as overtly, is similar to how the music was handled in Breakfast at Tiffany's. In each film, the music is used better than I seen in any other films to carry both action and emotion to their intended heights. And interestingly, the total absence of theme music at parts in BBM seem to indicate a distance or uninvolvment with Ennis or Jack, such as when Lureen is giving Ennis the information about Jack's death.
