Agreed. When I saw "Breathless" w/ Richard Gere, I knew nothing about it. The warped compulsiveness of his character coupled with his unbridled optimism really captivated me. The scene where he's watching TV while Elvis' "Caught in a Trap" is playing in the background summed it up for me. He sees that the cop he shot has just died. He looks out the window into the courtyard to see others watching the news as well; the heaviness of the situation and concurrent drama of the song kick in and I was experiencing the discomfort. Suddenly he jumps up from his chair, throws the bathroom door open, takes one side of the shower sliding door off the track and jumps into the shower with his French girlfriend - the joyous energy of the song capturing that sudden change of mood just as well as it had created the drama.
