The second and favorite part of the "Time Trilogy".

The film tells the story of an orphan who was abandoned on the luxury cruise ship Virginia, was discovered and raised by sailors, named "1900", and then became a pianist on board and died with the ship. The picture of the film has a sad texture like dusty memories, which is very suitable for poetic and elegant soundtrack.

1900' s life is ordinary and seems to be legendary. He has a familiar daily life on board. When the piano rings, he seems to be a hero on board. But once off the boat, what awaits him is an unknown, infinitely complicated and trivial life. When 1900 stood on the gangway for a long time, Gao Xuan stood in front of him. At this moment, it seems that his heart is not confusion and fear, but a deplorable regret. As he himself said, "He can't go out when he thinks that there is everything in that infinite city, but there is no end." On the boat behind him, no matter facing nobles or civilians, rich or poor, 1900 always has an elegance and calmness in the face of music when playing the piano; But at present, when he saw countless windows in the United States filled with industrial smoke, he realized that this industry is not the same as the elegance he pursued. The dark records copied in the city are not the music in his heart, the crowded inside the dock and the noise outside the dock, which are not the life he understands. He was lost, just like those immigrants who followed the trend from Europe to America in the early 20th century. They boarded the ship to America, but faced with a completely different world, they were lost and confused, as if they had never landed in America. And this also makes me more acceptable why 1900 hasn't disembarked.

We live in this era of great change, and all the rules are changing. When efficiency becomes higher, elegance begins to be ignored. Perhaps this is the reason why we need works of art, just as we are busy with work nonstop, and when we are tired, we will open a good movie and experience the interweaving of elegance and rules in just two hours. Even if the lights are dim and even lonely, it will eventually become the strength for us to move on.
