My favorite piece of music in The English Patient is Hannah the Nurse playing the piano in the dilapidated monastery. The piano with a broken leg was slanted in the ruins, but it did not affect Hannah's interest in the slightest. Like a deer jumping in the forest, she played Bach's Goldberg Variations. As the music leader of the church, Bach's music is saturated with religion, although John Christophe in Romain Rolland's pen once teased Bach's style as "the tedious and slender style of the Qibaolou platform", which are all "old godmother-style tunes" , but religion also gave Bach the power of God, its peace, tranquility and holiness, and its ability to soothe people's spirit and soul, which is beyond the reach of other composers. In this monastery, the nurse Hannah, with patience and perseverance unimaginable by mortals, alone takes care of the "English patient" who is completely disfigured and will summon nightmares at a few glances, feeding him fresh plums, and saying yes to him. Herodotus, who was very difficult for her. This scene, this scene, and Bach's music are so inextricably intertwined. But it wasn't just the patient Amoxy that was saved. The nurse Hannah also had a scarred heart because of the sudden death of her boyfriend and best friend in the war. Only Bach's music could soothe Amoxy and Hannah at the same time. , let Amoxy face the past she can't bear to look back, and let Hannah face the bright future.
The music that Amoxy and Catherine stole in the hotel was also very good. In the hot and dry hotel in North Africa, the silhouettes of the windows and columns were full of Arabic style, and the soft furnishings and utensils were also full of Katherine's eyes. exotic colors. At this time, the national music on the gramophone sounded, and Catherine naturally mistakenly thought it was Arabic music, and did not want Amoxy to say that it was a Hungarian song. Catherine, who is not familiar with Hungarian music, asked him to tell the content of the lyrics, but she fell into the trap of Amersey. Amersey said that the song sang the story of a Hungarian count who fell in love with an English woman, was tortured by her, and was willing to be a slave. "I listened carefully for a long time, but you were kidding me" - Catherine gave Emerson a pink punch with a smirk. A piece of Hungarian music became an ingenious introduction to this episode, and in this episode, the audience not only smiled at the wit and wit of a sultry man, but also found out that Amersey was hesitant to say anything to Catherine. Emotions of wanting to go back and forth. In the extramarital affair between the two, it was not only the married woman Catherine who was in pain, but also the male protagonist Amersey. His repeated and detached performance was the best proof. He took the initiative to invite her to dance and he followed her. At the market, he listened to her story in front of the bonfire and his eyes lit up, but he also rejected the cave card she sent, and he implicitly told her to shut up in the jeep, saying that he hated possession and being possessed the most. And the tension of this film also comes from the entanglement and repetition of the two. It is clear that such a pair of beautiful people who are in the same spirit and realm, but out of morality, public opinion, and their own inner constraints, they cannot come together freely and easily. It is good fortune to trick people. It turns out that not all Yang Jiang can marry Qian Zhongshu.
Let’s talk about the impressive music clips in other movies, the tango dance of Al Pacino in “Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman”, which fully demonstrates the powerful personality strength and old man charm of this retired blind officer. ; Chopin's first ballade played by Jewish pianists for German officers in "The Pianist", used the melody to describe the ups and downs of the Poles, and deeply moved the German officers who love music. A precious life-saving talisman; in "The Pianist at Sea", in the scene where the male protagonist 1900 and the black jazz pianist fought the piano, the two top masters Huashan discussing the sword, the audience sometimes forgot to breathe, and sometimes thumped. , sometimes intoxicated by the spring breeze, sometimes dumbfounded, hello, how about not playing music like this.
