《The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean》电影英文简介:
1900, an abandoned baby which is taken care by one of the crews in the ship, Virginia. 1900 was the year which the crew discovered the baby, thus, the boy was named 1900. The crew dies several years later and at that time, 1900 is entirely isolated. He is a genius and he knows how to play the piano without being taught. He gets his own style and wins the applause of passengers. However, he isn’t happy at all. What he is searching for is love and care, yet he cannot find them. In this essay, I will examine how 1900 suffers from loneliness and how he is afraid of changes.
The only companion of 1900 is the piano; he gets used to expressing his feeling via music. Yet, can the piano share with him? Can the music be the tonic for his loneliness? The poor guy has no choices; he was born to be lonely. Maybe it’s his fate. 1900 always wants to attract people by his absorbing performance. Though there is, in fact, nearly no conversation between them, they even don’t know one another. He still wants to be surrounded by the crowd. 1900 doesn’t want to be alone; he enjoys the time being accompanied by people. This can explain why he feels so disappointed, frustrated and he stops playing the piano when the crowd leaves as the destination is reached. 1900 has to become solitary again!
One of the passengers admires his talents very much and tries to talk to him. The farmer shares with him about his misfortune and loneliness. 1900 knows the feeling better than anybody does as he has been suffering for 27 years! He hasn’t disclosed his feeling to others; he just says that he gets a friend sharing the similar situation. It’s a paradox that on the one hand, he wants to speak out his own feeling, which has buried in his heart for a long time, and shares with people; on the other hand, he can’t pluck up his courage to mention his situation in front of people. Maybe it is of no use to tell others or 1900 doesn’t want anyone to sympathize him.
Loneliness makes him afraid of contacting strangers, lack of confidence and shy while communicating with strangers. When there’re two strangers coming to inform him the competition, he runs away and hides himself. Poor 1900 is afraid of being hurt. With no doubt, loneliness adversely affects his personality. On the shipboard, a young, pure, beautiful girl has caught his attention. He loves the girl and wants to send her a gift. He doesn’t know how to initiate the conversation. 1900 practices again and again in the cabinet. He is too timid to send the girl his record. His personality makes him miss a chance. 1900 is very unhappy and breaks the record. Again, he just keeps his mouth shut and never shares with the others. It is obvious that he no longer wants to share, he is too tired to find opportunities to air his feeling.
Changes make 1900 scared, he wants his everyday life remains the same. For 27 years, he stays on board and never treads on land. Although his crews always persuade him to get off, he is reluctant to try. Several months after the girl had left, 1900 suddenly wants to tread on land. His reason is that he wants to listen to the voice of the sea as he can only hear it clearly on land. However, it’s true that he wants to find the girl and expresses love to her. 1900 hides his feeling again. Yet, when he is on the halfway of the ladder that leads to the land, he stops. He stands there to look at the city in front of him. 1900 gives up treading on land and returns to the ship.
1900 can live safely on the ship as he can see the ends of the ship. Many years later, as the ship is too old and it needs to be exploded to pieces. One of the crew knows that he will be still on the ship. He tries to find him. Before his death, 1900 tells the reasons for not treading on land when he’s walking down the ladder. “ I’m not afraid of what I can see, I’m afraid of what I can’t see”, 1900 is frightened as he can’t see the end of the city. “ Where is the end of the world?” Moreover, there’re only two thousand passengers on broad at a time. It’s a fixed number and it will not change. It can explain why 1900 prefers staying on board.
He takes the piano as an example, “ There are finite keys on the piano”, and he can make “infinite music” out of it. However, the world is a piano that is too big for him. There are infinite keys in the world, how can he make music out of it? It implies that there are so many changes in the world; he can hardly face the challenges. “There are thousands of streets in the city…which one should I choose to die?” It shows that 1900 is scared by the ever-changing world and he is too tired to choose. He thinks that he can’t adapt to the changes as “ the world has passed me (him) by”. In addition, fame, fortune, girl can’t make him tread on land. 1900 chooses to die on the ship rather than getting off. It can be seen that how deeply he is afraid of changes. The marvelous life of 1900 makes him become the legend.

THE LENGEND OF 1900
Director Giuseppe Tornatore has had no luck with United States distributors. His original cut of Cinema Paradiso, one of the best films of the 1980s, was ruthlessly hacked to pieces by Miramax Films for its North American theatrical release. Now, a decade later, it's d閖?vu. The Legend of 1900, Tornatore's first English-language film, has seen its 160 minute Italian running length shrunk to 123 minutes at the insistence of Fine Line Features. To Tornatore's credit, he has managed to keep the story mostly intact; there are only a few occasions when it starts to ramble. Having not seen the full version, it's difficult for me to say whether the uneven nature of the episodic structure is the result of removing 25% of the film's sequences, or whether that hiccup plagues the original as well.
The entire tale of The Legend of 1900 takes place aboard a cruise ship ring the early decades of the 20th century, but this is no Titanic. Told in flashback by a down-on-his luck trumpet player named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vince), the movie is presented as half-fable, half-melodrama. The main character, Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900, or 1900 for short (played by Tim Roth), is found abandoned on board the ocean liner The Virginian by an engine room worker (Bill Nunn), who keeps him and gives him his name (based on the year of his birth). 1900 grows up to be an agoraphobe who never knows life outside the ship. He is a genius at the piano, and his reputation spreads far and wide across the globe, but he never leaves The Virginian to claim the slice of fame that could be his. Even love cannot lure him from the open sea. On one occasion, he falls for a pretty passenger (Melanie Thierry), but lacks the courage to follow her into the city when the ship docks. The Virginian was where he was born and where he intends to die
Tornatore has a talent for developing stories that are pleasantly sentimental without turning mawkish. Does The Legend of 1900 manipulate its audience? Of course it does, but Tornatore is a master at this craft, and it doesn't feel as if our heartstrings are being plucked by someone with no talent. The director has blended one part fantasy, one part whimsy, one part comedy, and one part drama into a whole that stirs the spirit. The Legend of 1900 is an uplifting experience - the kind of movie that can make a hardened movie-goer laugh and cry at the same time. Tim Roth, who plays the lead, has called The Legend of 1900 "the antidote to my film [The War Zone]." In many ways, he's right. Where The War Zone, for all its brilliance, is dark and gritty, The Legend of 1900 is a light, airy confection.
As characters go, 1900 is a little underdeveloped, and no one else gets enough screen exposure to function as more than a secondary player. Tim Roth, as engaging as ever, brings 1900 to life, imbuing him with energy and charisma. Pruitt Taylor Vince plays an adequate second fiddle as 1900's best friend. Even though the movie is told from his point-of-view, however, Max is not fleshed out as anything more substantive than a narrator. Melanie Thierry offers viewers (and 1900) a pretty face to look at, but nothing more. The film's standout supporting role belongs to Clarence Williams III, who plays real-life jazz pianist Jelly Roll Morton. In The Legend of 1900's standout sequence, Jelly Roll boards the ship to challenge 1900 to a piano el. The smokin' results are pure magic.
Proction-wise, The Legend of 1900 is virtually flawless. Cinematographer Lajos Koltai fashions numerous gorgeous sequences that heighten the viewer's sense of watching something enchanting. Cruises, by their very nature, are divorced from the mundane routine of day-to-day life, but The Legend of 1900 has a truly un-real feel to it. This is a fantasy and a tall tale - the kind of thing that could never happen, but that we have no trouble accepting in a well-crafted motion picture. The movie's score, by veteran composer (and longtime Tornatore collaborator) Ennio Morricone, effectively compliments Koltai's keen visual sense.
Those attending The Legend of 1900 with hopes of re-capturing the glory of Cinema Paradiso may be disappointed. While Tornatore's latest succeeds in plumbing some of his masterpiece's emotional intensity, The Legend of 1900 is neither as deep nor as powerful as the 1990 Oscar-winner. And the dialogue is riddled with problems (likely the result of the Italian-to-English translation). In fact, this picture doesn't have much to offer audiences - except the opportunity to forget one's troubles and spend two hours taking pleasure from something uncomplicated and unpretentious.

该片的英文译名是THE LEGEND OF 1900
The Legend of 1900 is an interesting fable from legendary Italian filmmaker Guiseppe Tornatore, maker of Cinema Paradiso and The Star Maker. Based on a monologue by Alessandro Baricco, The Legend of 1900 tells the story of a unique man who never set foot upon dry land. On January 1, 1900, a small baby boy was found abandoned on the Virginian, a transatlantic ship. The crewman who found him names the boy Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900; 1900 for short. 1900 is a true orphan. He knows nothing about his parents or his past. The Virginian is the only thing he knows.
The story unfolds as a series of flashbacks told by a man named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vance, Nobody's Fool, Mumford). In a series of events that seem awkward to the viewer, Max tells various people he meets about his experiences aboard the Virginian with 1900 (Tim Roth, No Way Home, Gridlock'd). The transitions are clunky, causing the story to frequently halt for further exposition before continuing. At a young age, 1900 became a piano prodigy. He entranced people with his ability to play the piano, and mbfounded people with his refusal to leave the ship. 1900 helped Max ease his transition onto the ocean, and the two became friends, playing together in the band. Max details 1900's experiences with love (in a very Titanic-like meeting), and his encounter with Jelly Roll Morton (Clarence Williams III, The General's Daughter, Reindeer Games). Morton is irrationally jealous of 1900 and challenges him to a piano el to determine the better player. Williams glowers through his role, which is interesting but one-dimensional.
Roth plays 1900 as an enigma. He shows emotion only when he is playing the piano. Vance's character is much more annoying. His only purpose is the narrator. Tornatore gives no reason as to why the two become friends, or remain friends for such a long time. 1900 is well liked by the crew, so why is Max the person 1900 confides in the most? The music of The Legend of 1900 was composed by another legend, Ennio Morricone. Morricone composed more than 400 scores over his career, garnering numerous nominations in the process. Morricone's music permeates the movie, rising and falling with the moods of the characters. The proction on The Legend of 1900 is gorgeous. The special effects are great, but here it is a good thing. Long shots of the Virginian do not look quite real, instead it looks almost magical. This is Tornatore's first English film, and although it isn't outstanding, it is a nice effort.
