Their encounter sends both women down a path with its own shocking surprises.
Charlottes Theme
A harp and the strumming of strings lay the foundation for a lonely piano line.
Netflix
They tried that piano piece when she reunites with her teacher.
She walks through Shanghai and she sees the poster and theres a simple piano line playing there.
Richard responded to that and that became the [melody].
Netflix
A lot of the rest of the film is more or less Charlottes Theme.
The opening duet was designed to feel competitive yet fiery and exciting, Kent wrote to EW over email.
It was a work-for-hire and it was a rush job.
Netflix
So, the piece in itself has a twisted story.
Now I dont know whether Richard was aware of that when he picked it.
Its very demanding of the musician.
Netflix
The scene in which Charlotte explains everything to Liz couldve been a needle drop, he says.
Instead, its scored to sound non-orchestral, basically an electronic piece.
That was a stylistic decision, he says.
Netflix
To me and Richard, that was a more modern, current approach of trying to get that effect.
The result: perfection.
