The Music Never Stopped

The audience's emotional response is primarily driven by the dramatic and poignant themes of family reconciliation, illness, and the power of music. Sadness, empathy, and melancholy are prominent due to Gabriel's condition and the initial estrangement. However, the film also evokes strong feelings of love, hope, and inspiration as Henry strives to reconnect with his son through their shared musical past, leading to moments of joy and satisfaction.
