It gets the point across to the viewer as to what the character is feeling, however there are a few songs in the movie that do not fit at the time they are placed. The music shows what is happening at the time but they are not the best at seeing the character for whom they are and why they are doing, what is asked of them. There is some foreshadowing in the songs that give clues at what happens once something takes place in the movies. With the foreshadowing taking place in the songs, it helps the plot of the movie move along to the next scene that is taking place.
