The Music Never Stopped (1:45) 2011
The Music Never Stopped is a gem of a movie. Gabe is a man in his mid thirties which a large benign brain tumor. Gabe has been estranged from his parents after a disagreement with his father over burning a flag in the protest days of the 70s. He is reunited with his family after a successful surgery. His parents learn that Gabe is not able to form new memories and is "stuck" in the mid seventies. Gabe is a musician who responds to music that he listened to with his father but comes alive, almost normal, when he listens to Rock and Roll. His father doesn't like the Beatles, Stones or the Grateful Dead. Henry, the dad, realizes that if he is to ever have a real conversation again with his son, he needs to learn about the music his son's loves and and over time, Henry comes to appreciate the Dead and other artists. This is a wonderful, heartwarming story of reconciliation, tolerance and acceptance. I highly recommend this movie, a great story with a fantastic soundtrack.
