Fake piano playing

Come on, guys, it's not hard to find a piano player who can move her hands properly on the keyboard for the close ups. The final scene had the worst fake music playing I've ever seen!

Not as bad as the oboist, but I take your point. He couldn't even move his fingers when the notes changed, or keep them still when the notes didn't change. :)

The most fake looking piano playing I ever saw was in a 1940's movie featuring Nat King Cole. Interestingly, before becoming a singer Nat was a jazz pianist. So I assume he was really playing the piano in the movie, though it sure didn't look like it. He just sat there!
