Music is a pattern of wiggling air. Color is just a frequency of wiggling because all light is wiggling, but not a pattern of frequencies. I think it would be more congruent is the statement were “movies are just the wiggling of the electromagnetic field”.

Follow me for more pedantic corrections!

color isnt even that, cos magenta isnt a frequency. color is a useful lie your brain tells itself about the materials it can see.
