Been a while since I've seen it, but one thing that has always stuck with me every time I've watched it is the annoying overuse of Barber's Adagio for Strings throughout. It's on the shortlist of most gut-wrenching pieces of music ever written, but the movie just clubs you over the head with it, expecting it to carry the same weight when it appears every ten fucking minutes like an emotional crutch... and it's especially infuriating when it's always the same 30-second excerpt played over and over again. I would probably like the movie more if it were more restrained in how it deployed the piece and used it more sparingly for maximum effect.

I want all of you to enjoy your cake, so... enjoy.
