GARBO- when music destroys a great film

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/garbo_the_spy_2011/ I considered this a great documentary about an important person and the series of events that basically saved the world (and without Bruce WIllis or Matt Damon). However, as I watched this on NetFlix, I repeatedly had to mute the sound every time the music came on. The director should be shot by firing squad for picking this music! Mein Gott! For 25 years I played classical solo guitar in five-star restaurants, so I really do know good music. The music for this film went to the sad solo singer realm, male, minor keyed, sung songs over added droning tones... horrible. Roy Webb would be turning in his grave. Every director should know the works of film composers like Roy Webb, and Milios Rosa, Rachmaninoff and all the major Russian composers, Mozart.... Crycil Scott... wtfit? Go to a good music school if you want to be a film composer! I am so sick of the bellowing, sung folk music behind brilliant films. The words of these songs distracts and degrades the story arc. Instrumental music should match the action and be secondary to the plot and dynamics should be a known quantity and quality. Rant, rant ,rant... keep the sung fold mmusic music at poetry jams and in garages!
