Sigh. The world's full of trouble and contentiousness, but how about a two-minute happy break? Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMbUEsUtW5k ...which is a link to the final scene of one of my favorite movies, the 1959 award-winning film "Black Orpheus", a modern re-telling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, ...set in Rio de Janeiro at Carnival time. ... the last scene, three children singing and dancing on a hill over-looking Rio de Janeiro, stands apart from the rest of the film as a sort of postlude, a sweet little story of joy, innocence, and the hope of a new day. And watching it is by no means a spoiler for the rest of the movie.
So give this this lovely little scene a watch. It'll make you feel good. In fact you'll probably have to watch it two or three times. Then if you stay on the site, you can watch the whole movie. And if the last scene didn't hook you, the first scene surely will.
