I watched The Piano Lesson 2024 on Netflix. I loved it!

Some themes I loved:

Spoilers Below

Navigating grief

She lost her husband and she won't let anyone in. He seemed to be her true love and I think his loss made her cold. In her quiet moments he was who she thought of. 😩😩😩

Wanting more out of life and trying your best not to let the systems of oppression crush your spirit.

Her brother just wanted more and knew he had to be his own motivator. But you can tell he still struggled with confidence and was so frustrated with his position in life.

There are charming f'boys in every timeline.

They'll yearn for you and make you feel desired and they'll do that for her, her and her too.

Christianity won't always save you but maybe your great grandmother will.

During the climax of the movie it came to a point where the pastor knew Berniece had to ask her ancestors for help instead of him. This part (not pictured) made me shed a few tears. It was so powerful and beautiful. The scary ghosts weren't so scary when she remembered they were family members who loved her.

Side note I was reminded of a Tiktok I watched a while ago where the person said "I'm not afraid of ghosts because I know my (deceased) grandmother would kick their ass". 🤣

Great movie! I know I missed so much since I was multi-tasking. I would recommend. I have to watch again and really pay attention.

Side side note the actor who played Lymon , Ray Fisher, oooohh weee I liked him. He did a great job, shoot they all did a great job. Danielle Deadwyler was outstanding!
