Juxtaposition of the loud, diegetic music of Wagner and the helicopters sound effects versus the calm/peaceful Vietnamese school/town highlight the horror that shall befall them. By comparing and contrasting between each of the scenes, it shows the most likely case that will occur where pain and violence will be brought towards the Vietnamese. All this can be conveyed just through the use of sound within a scene.
Reservoir Dogs
Contrapuntal sound is used (music that doesn't really fit the emotion or feeling of the scene) within this scene in Reservoir Dogs. The contrapuntal sound of the song "Stuck in the middle with you" in addition to the enjoyment clearly demonstrated by Mr Blonde's dancing reinforces the character's sadistic and psychopathic tendencies.
