Fast and Furious 6 **SPOILER ALERT**

One of the climax scenes in F&F 6 is when Dom and his crew try to take down Shaw´s team in a tank car chase. I feel like the music works well with the visual part of this scene. One part that stood out to me was when the convoy crashed into the cable and the tank burst out, because as the tank was emerging in slow motion the sound played was a drum roll that picked up in volume. I felt like this was meant to show the might of the tank and sort of glorify its power. Every time the tank is shown, the music shifts to glorious and up beat, it reminds me of the music associated with an ancient roman battle with echoing low notes and a heavy drum beat. The rest of the time the music playing is fast paced matching the racing feeling as the racers try to stop the tank. I like this scene because it somehow grabs your attention and holds it until the very end.
