I have the peculiar ability to identify film scenes being played in the background, solely by recognizing the accompanying soundtracks or movie scores. Despite having no practical application, this talent has become a source of amusement and satisfaction. Over the years, I’ve developed an eclectic repository of film score knowledge in my mind, accumulated from countless hours of watching movies and absorbing their soundtracks. It’s undeniably entertaining when a familiar riff or orchestral movement comes on during a casual gathering and I can swiftly pinpoint the corresponding movie scene.
This skill, while not contributing to my day-to-day responsibilities, serves as an icebreaker and a source of camaraderie at social events. Whenever a friend wants to test my audio-movie matching ability, it turns into a fun game, bringing laughter and light-hearted competition. It’s a quirky yet endearing aspect of my personality, and that’s why, despite its lack of utility, I’m weirdly proud of it.
