[pianotech] Slightly OT: Movie recommendation

[David Love]

Yes, I realize the danger here.  The other movies you mention are quite good
too.  But one of the theme's here is dedication to a life's work and also to
enumerate the principles of refining one's craft.  I couldn't help but think
of piano work as I watched and the parallels were too strong to ignore.  It
is available as a rental at this point.

You're in danger of creating a monster here, David - there are so many
possibilities.  Several come to mind for me:  Babette's Feast;  Eat, Drink,
Man, Woman; and Julie and Julia.   

I saw the previews to this film a few months ago at our local beloved Indy
film theatre, and we ended up missing it  (Arrggghhh!!)  But it's just out
on DVD, and Netflix has it.  I have long been influenced by the traditional
Japanese sensibility of craft where the journey towards perfection in one's
craft is also a spiritual one, and one has to master oneself before they can
master their craft.

For a good movie which parallels to our own commitment to craft see "Jiro
Dreams of Sushi"
