You seem to have a lot of confessions to make

FYI: self is not actually a keyword in Python, but rather, a convention. Subtle but important difference.

Excellent discussion on "__init__" and "self" - very well done video.

The only __init__ explanation I could understand. Thank you.

This might be more helpful. Add print(id(toy_story)) under toy_story = media.Movie(). And add print(id(self)) inside your function. You will see that both are the same.

Almost every variable you create gets it's own id in Python. And because you can create multiple objects with the same class in Python. By typing self you're telling that function within your class that you want that function to be executed for that specific id.

You can think of it like this. Your class is a blueprint for a house. But not all houses are going to look the same. So, to make it clear to your program which address I'm dealing with, I'm adding self. That's why toy_story and self will have the same id.

So, if you would create a different variable (a different "house") like toy_story2, it will have a different id. And the self will also be different.

I hope that I haven't overcomplicated it.
