Interesting point Aural,
I know from personal experience that what your saying about the audience (we'll say general) has not the slightest clue about the music. I believe many take it for granted and the truth be known, many emotions that may be felt while watching a movie, are many times, the result of the music more so than the story line itself.
You might find this a bit strange, but while watching the Titanic with my wife at the theater when it was first released, I found myself getting emotional during some of the scenes. I'd look over at her while wiping the tear from my eyes, and she was motionless. I thought "what's up with me?". A few weeks later I purchased the soundtrack and while listening to it in the car on the way to work, the tears began again.
I now believe that it was certain passages of the score being played had more influence on bringing out my emotions than the storyline itself. Ever since then, I find myself paying more attention to the score many times than the storyline itself. I've also noticed that if a particular trailer has a great track playing, I will be more likely to watch the movie than something that is cheesy. But that's just me......
