[@georgetheodoridis3857]

And it's neither "music" nor is it "background" It's crass noise very much interfering with human speech. It's jingoism let loose. Noise pollution at its worse. Cliche gone wild! Remove all noise from every film! Just remove the bloody crap! Utterly unnecessary. Vulgar. Have I made myself clear?
