You’ve highlighted what I think is the most beguiling and frustrating aspect of Film Theory, as I understand it.
IMHO, the real beauty of film is the synergy between the visual and audio components.
Check out the first couple of minutes of ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ remake for a fairly clear example of how subtle differences in the relationship can evoke a different experience.
I think it’s the opening scene, set in the APC, as the credits are flashed up.
