Barry Jenkins said he was at a loss for words after someone combined the score from his new film “If Beale Street Could Talk” with a newly uncovered silent 1898 film that celebrated black intimacy on-screen. “Something Good – Negro Kiss” was selected to be inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress earlier this week. The film was produced by Selig Polyscope Company, according to the Library. On Thursday, Twitter user and attorney Kyle A.B., shared a video combining the score from “Beale Street” with the 1898 film. The creation touched the hearts of many on social media, including the likes of Jenkins, Viola Davis and Nicholas Britell, who produced the score for “Beale Street.”“A friend texted this to me,” the “Beale Street” director wrote on Twitter.
