The premise of the film is that the Nazis altered modern music to make people more aggressive and win a war. Once that's established, this takes forever to get to the point.
Instead we get endless sidetracks. Music affects our emotions, it evokes memories, it supposedly can be used for healing. The first two are common knowledge, but the third is new age nonsense the filmmaker wastes so much time on.
And we get constant pauses. Constant set ups that take too long. Take them away and the film is half as long. I kept fast forwarding impatiently.
Finally, finally, we get back to the original premise. Sound being used as a weapon by militaries. By that time over an hour has passed.
And the whole premise was silly if you think about it. Maybe, maybe the Nazis ordered the tuning used by classical music changed. Most people don't listen to classical, and obviously the Nazis lost.
Should have been half as long.
