But not all shows or movies are 100% realistic. That’s not how art works. It’s supposed to evoke certain emotions, by design. Not everything you watch is intended to be a documentary.
The examples you’ve described are sound design done poorly, which is the opposite of what I referred to.
Do you have an example of a film score used to do more than just provide the mood?
