Little-known fact: Billy Joel premeditated this film. In a half-hearted attempt not to spoil it, he only barely disguised the reference in his 1993 song:

In the middle of the night /.

I go walking in my sleep /.

From the mountains of faith /.

To the river so deep /.

I must be lookin' for something /.

Something sacred I lost /.

But the river is wide /.

And it's too hard to cross.

-- See how he changed 'Fear' to 'Dreams' (notice the similarity of the words?) -- And then he did the same thing with '... looking for something scary' which he replaced with 'sacred', again only thinly disguising the obvious message. ----.

Leaves you scared about the actual meaning of 'The Piano Man', doesn't it?
