The Musical and Conceptual Inspiration Behind 'Air' Movie.
The music supervisor for the movie "Air," Andrea von Foerster, used a playlist from Ben Affleck titled "1984" as the basis for the film's iconic '80s soundtrack. The goal was to use music from the year authentically, visually, and musically where the lyrics would often match what was being seen on-screen. The film didn't have a big budget for its music, so much of compiling the soundtrack was asking artists and music publishers to trust the film and its story.
