The background score was so pointless


Like the scene where she enters the cafe, or store. I don't clearly remember what it was.

Leading the scene there was this sound, kind of what Hans Zimmer composes, but it isn't qualified enough to call it music.

Every director uses music to point out some subject in the current frame, or to create a buildup of what's going to happen next. But in this scene nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. She walks up to the store, enters the store, walks by some people, and enters a book section. And that's when the deafening sound fades away. Nothing achieved.
