"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" | As Good As It Gets (1997) | Piano Transcription

This transcription includes 2 x piano pieces from the Academy Award winning 1997 film "As Good As It Gets", starring Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.

In the movie Melvin, an anti-social but successful novelist suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, is forced to take care of his hospitalized neighbor's dog, much to his chagrin!

The first rendition of the song is played by Melvin to get the confused dog to eat, whilst also helping Melvin cope with the unwanted intrusion into his highly controlled lifestyle.

The second rendition is played by Melvin shortly after having to give the dog back to his neighbor some time later. Melvin's heartbreak here is palpable!

Enjoy! :)
