What you're watching is the birth of his obsession with recording music. When I saw this scene at the start of the film, the hair stood up on my arms and I knew instantly that the people making the film did their homework and wanted the obsessives in the audience to be happy.Tim Lehnererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410878013331168436noreply@blogger.com
