The film is book-ended with the music of Maurice Ravel's "Bolero". The choice is not random. The piece, which is just under 16 minutes, begins sedately and slowly builds over time, adding more instruments as it goes. In this way it parallels the story of Basic, which also builds over time. As with the film, it continues to build in a certain direction, reaches an apex, and then suddenly it all falls apart, providing a surprise ending.
