Classical music is often used to replace dialogue in films to help tell the story, such as in sci-fi and war dramas. Stanley Kubrick's films explored man's struggle to find purpose amid chaos through themes represented in the set design and characters' journeys. Viewers are left to interpret ambiguous endings using their own perspective, rather than being given a clear conclusion.
