Question about movie scores: were 'sad' scenes in movies scored with more noticeable music in the past than now?

The daily news feed on my phone popped up with this link about Zimmer "taking" over Blade Runner 2049 and my mind being what it is went on a tangent and got thinking about how music is being scored for movies nowdays.

In the Every Frame a Painting video, The Marvel Symphonic Universe, Tony talks about 'hearing what you see' as one of the problems that plague movie scores nowadays.

So, it got me thinking about the 'sad' moments in movies. Did movies made earlier have different music that went along with the sad scenes instead of just 'high notes'?

Danny Elfman says something that I found interesting here in the EFaP video where he says that he noticed the music before but now it is a shift in culture to want the music to not be noticed. So, can someone show or tell examples of 'sad scenes' with more involved and noticeable music?

PS, I'm sorry if this comes off as a noob question but I didn't watch movies for most of my childhood and I only started getting into movies when I went to college which was only less than a decade back. So I've missed a lot of the older movies.

Also in case anyone's wondering, the train of thought was Zimmer's dominance -> what would the change be from Jóhannsson to Zimmer -> audio editing -> EFaP video on MCU movies -> my question.
