Unpopular opinion: The Sound of Music is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought The Sound of Music was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: The Sound of Music's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, The Sound of Music would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Sound of Music?
Look, I wanted to love The Sound of Music. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
