    Oh so we’re doing The King spoilers as well? Since there’s no mention of that movie in the title I assumed the warning only pertained to Moonlight!

    This guy, whom I have never before heard of, just sat down with a piano and made me want watch three great movies. And I think that I find these movies great more so because of the music.

    This is outstanding. I had a channel years ago on breaking down musicians processes. But today I like analyzing the charm of people.
