Be sure to read Caitlan Trulove’s article at Musicology Now about the use of music in the film score to Wonder Woman.  The summer blockbuster is getting a lot of attention, and rightly so, for finally giving voice to a woman as a superhero.  This is a great read about how the music itself strengthens the film and the underlying messages.
