Above is a famous example of Juxtaposition in The Godfather. The camera shows a murder happening, then in the next shot we see a character in church at a baptism. The juxtaposition between these two is that they are showing murder which is completely morally wrong, but then they cut to a baptism scene which shows holiness and innocence. The whole time during these cuts there is church organ music playing, again showing a religious side over these shots which show murder. I find that juxtaposition in films is interesting because at times it can go unnoticed to the viewer, but it is a carefully planned thought which puts new perspective and meaning into film.
