not lonely

I have always wanted to write about The Pianist in the Sea, but I never dared to. I have written many film reviews, and I love them, such as "Love Letter", such as "The Blue Door". For example, "The Pianist", and even "Evil in the East and Poison in the West". But I never dared to write 1900. Perhaps, it is precisely because it is my favorite that I am most afraid of blasphemy, and I am most afraid of my jerky language, which is not as vivid as I want to express.

In the past two days, I watched this film over and over again, replaying it one shot at a time, and then gave myself a blatant reason to cry. I remember that a brother who was studying abroad sent me a text message to recommend it to me. He said that he was blind and he actually shed tears. So I went and bought it the next day. I just watched it once and put it in the drawer, not because it doesn't look good, but because I can't stop being sad.

I always felt that only countries with such a complete complex of France and Italy could make such a film. This talented Italian director, Tonatore, who a lot of people admired for his "Cinema Paradiso", but for me, that was fine too, but not as intense as this one. In 1900, this orphan who was born on a ship is a natural piano master. He has never gotten off a ship in his life, and can stroll around when others are confused by seasickness. He had a bleak life but conquered everyone with the piano. He went through two world wars but didn't care. He could choose to die with the ship but couldn't go to land once for the woman he loved. Every time I write this, I feel sad, that talented child, such a lovely child in my eyes, he finally chose to stay on the boat, he couldn't take that small step down the deck, even for the only one in his life. of a love. Everyone seemed eager to push him off the boat, but 1900 turned back. He said: "The land has no end." This feeling of no end scares him, and the piano keys have no end, which makes him feel safe.

1900 is living in its own world. In that world, there are only black and white strings. It is quiet and sweet. You can see from the beginning to the end, you can grasp it yourself, and everything you can grasp. In fact, what I want to say is that I am a little envious of the 1900. I remember feeling this way in Namco at that time: "If there is no one I love in this world, I would rather die in Namco." We all want to live in a dream, but we are very realistic, and we have to wake up from the dream after all. Come. But he won't in 1900. Who knows whether his giving up is a compromise or an uncompromising one? I'm always a soft-hearted person, and I can't see the protagonist being a little sad and heartbroken, so if I were the director, I would probably let the girl stay on the boat, stay by 1900's side, and then the prince and princess live happily together. But then I thought about it, is this unfair to the girl? Love is really something that can't be helped. Whether to stay or leave, no one can say.

I actually just wanted to have a good cry, so I watched 1900. Then I cried, in a blast of incomparable brilliance. Nothing can last forever, even the beautiful piano sound, even the so-called dream that we once thought we could keep.

Fortunately, even if he leaves, his true love is invincible, just like the face of the girl he loved and the bright eyes of the boy in the dark night.
