Every once on awhile I recall this little mini movie that I saw on television as a child. It was on CBC and anyone over 60 might recall what I mean when I say it was just black and white and very cheap Canadian TV. Anyway, this story was about a man who was confined to a room for five years.
He could not leave the room, but could ask for anything and he would be given it. (I was very young when I watched this and really believed it all) Anyway, he went through different phases such as sleeping all the time, staying up day and night, drinking and staying drunk. One day he decided to ask for and was brought a grand piano. He did not know anything about it, but asked for books and started to learn by teaching himself. After a few years he was really playing beautifully. At the end of the five year term you saw the door to the room open, but, he was so engrossed in his music that he didn’t bother to go out. He had no way of knowing night from day so he was spending every waking moment on his studying.
