YouTube blurb for the video in this blog post:

Soundtrack from the 1990 Penny Marshall film “Awakenings” with Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, Julie Kavner, Penelope Ann Miller & John Heard. Based on the true story of Dr. Oliver Sacks who, in a Bronx hospital in 1969, used a new drug in order to revive patients who had been catatonic for decades.

Such poignant movie music, especially if you know the compelling story:

Personal story….

My father’s sister, only seven years old, died of “the aftereffects” of the Great Influenza of 1918-1920 — even though flu deaths in her age group were quite rare. Therefore, long before COVID-19 came along, I’ve had great interest in the award-winning film Awakenings, which depicts part of the story of institution-confined patients suffering from the 1915-1927 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica, one of the aftereffects believed by some scientists to have been caused by the Great Influenza.

My family never discussed exactly the specific “aftereffects” which killed Dad’s sister, and I’ve always wondered if she, too, had encephalitis lethargica. Perhaps Dad didn’t know; since he was only eight or nine years old when his sister died.

The family story I heard several times was limited to Dad’s unforgettable and blunt words:

“Because of the flu outbreak, the undertaker came to the house to embalm Chrissy — and dumped the blood behind the barn.”

I have always wondered if Chrissy slipped into a Parkinsonian-like catatonia similar to that shown in the film Awakenings, one of those rare films better than the book.
