1900 legend: the collision between ideal and reality

I watched the movie "The Legend of 1900" for three times, and I was deeply touched every time I watched it, but what can I really feel? I want to write it down with a pen, but I don't know where to start. sorry For 1900 the fate of life, no; Envy? I have my own lifelong passion for 1900, which is incomplete. This is a film that can make people think deeply. But obviously because of my own experience, I can't understand the spiritual connotation of the film well, so I can only talk about my own experience in combination with my own viewing experience.

/kloc-The Legend of 0/900 (1900) was adapted from Alexandra? Balico's 1994 theatrical version 1900: Monologue is a film directed by Giuseppe Tonatore and starring Tim Roth, bill nunn and Melanie Thierry. The film tells the story of an abandoned baby named "1900" who became attached to the piano on an ocean liner, becoming a legendary story in piano master. The film was released in Italy on1October 28th, 1998.

The hero 1900 (Tim Roth) is an orphan who was abandoned on the ship and adopted by a kind-hearted stove burner (bill nunn). However, when 1900 was only a few years old, the stove head died in an accident, and 1900 became an orphan again. By chance, 1900 went to the first-class warehouse to see the piano, and learned a superb piano skill with extraordinary talent. The ship has its own world. He is like a duck to water, and he can clearly capture the inner world of people coming and going, and he can also play exciting music. But fate kept him from leaving the boat. Even when he met a girl he liked, he gave up the impulse to get off the boat. He stayed on the ship forever and disappeared with the ship being blown up.

This is a movie that can make people think, explore and reflect on life infinitely. Everyone may feel different after reading it. It has something to do with your time, social environment and your life experience. People may have different feelings when watching movies because of different values.

The hero of the film is Danny boardman T.D. Raymond 1900, or 1900 for short. As can be seen from the film, the reason why the hero is called 1900 is not just a name code, but represents a period of history and an era. The story in the film happened at the beginning of19th century, which was the upsurge of European immigration to the United States. In the eyes of immigrants, the United States symbolizes freedom and wealth, and represents opportunities and adventures. Those Europeans who live in poverty hope to find a job in America.

From the movie clips, we can see those people's yearning for America. For example, when the first person saw the Statue of Liberty shouting "America" on the Virginia ship between Europe and the United States, all kinds of people on board turned back to the Statue of Liberty and shouted their crazy yearning for America. In this era, the European continent sank, traditional moral concepts collapsed, and the United States entered industrialization and became the world that Europeans yearned for. As an abandoned baby in Europe, 1900 represents Europe's abandonment of the last ideal.

The plot of 1900 playing the piano with Jenny in the film is very shocking. After three rounds of competition, 1900 listened attentively to Jenny's performance with appreciation. Uncontrollable Jenny came with a purpose, that is, to defeat 1900 through piano skills. After Jenny's first performance, everyone including 1900 gave warm applause. 1900 used a song "Silent Night" to ease the atmosphere and didn't want to compete with Jenny. However, this practice aroused Jenny's fighting spirit. When he finished playing the second song, the audience was immersed in music, but 1900 copied his song, and even some places were better than his handling. This makes Jenny even more unacceptable. In the third round, Jenny showed off her skills and tried to beat 1900. Her performance lost its meaning and completely angered 1900. 1900 plays fast on the keys, and there are four-handed ghosts at high speed. Finally, because the strings were heated at high speed, I lit a cigarette and completely defeated Jenny.

It makes sense that 1900 will win, because his world is simple and pure. He has lived on a boat all his life, which is similar to an ideal world. What he does is play the piano. He is dedicated and pure, and playing the piano is a part of his life and the meaning of his existence. Jenny lives in the real world, and his life is influenced by many complicated factors. Even though he is talented and hard-working, music mixed with other factors will always be flawed.

1900 has been on the boat all his life. When he met the girl he wanted to pursue, he had the idea of getting off the boat. But when he stepped onto the gangway, he stopped. He saw rows of tall buildings in front of him, endless, with no end in sight. So he threw away his hat and resolutely returned to the boat.

At the end of the film, when Max found him and advised him to get off the boat, he said, "What stopped me was not what I saw, but what I couldn't see. The city is endless, but I just can't see the end, the end of the world. The keys begin and end. As we all know, there are 88 keys. Keys are finite, but you are infinite. The music you can play on these keys is infinite, which I can accept. But when I stepped onto the gangway, there were thousands of keys in front of me, endless. The keys are infinite, you can't play on them. That's not for mortals, that's God's piano. In those thousands of streets, how do you choose a street, a woman, a house, a place that belongs to you, a scenery that you can enjoy, a way to die, and then the world is on you, but you don't know the end. How did this day collapse? "

1900 is a man who lives on a boat, and 2000 people pass by him every day. This ship has a unique microcosm of the times at that time, such as the disparity between the upper class and the civilians, the racial prejudice between blacks and whites, and so on. The limited hull can show the infinite world, and 1900 can play infinitely on the limited keys. He has lived to the extreme in this limited space. He doesn't want to get off the boat because he is afraid of losing himself in the unknown and endless world. He didn't want to live differently from himself and lost his way in the complicated world, so he chose to give up his life. His persistence and persistence in simple ideals and beliefs are worthy of respect. Obviously, 1900 is the embodiment of idealism and perfectionism. It can't exist in this real world, and it will inevitably die with the hull.
