Choose a film from the list below,
then watch, listen and enjoy as part of
a varied programme of wellness music.
The classical music stimulates the auditory system, including the brain.
With repeated listening, the film images you recall
stimulate the imagination and the mind.
(This is not a total recall exercise; let the images come to you freely.)
Note:
Films from the silent era often have a slower pace than today’s films.
We assume this is poor acting; but the films invite you to use your imagination to imagine what the actors are thinking and feeling.
AI voices have been used to help the story unfold.
The voices won’t win any Oscars,
but you may find the voices help you focus on the music.
