Finally found a piano that is crazier than "Shine"

Fifteen years ago, when I walked out of the chart studio after watching "Shine" (shining style), I found that life is ups and downs, and only music is the ultimate emotional destination! Fifteen years later, I found the similarities again. Why is it so indistinguishable between real music and the hardships of life?

Watching Jenny's restrained behavior and recalling David's madness in "Shine" proves once again that people can be crazy for music, ideals and existential values. Her piano is crazier, angrier, and more desperate than his, and after the catharsis finds a reason to exist for herself again, it's enough to move us to tears. Two real-life anecdotes of the film, only with a faint pain in the excitement to pay tribute to them and pay tribute to the people who are loyal to music.
