Crazy 1900

"I can't see the end of the city, I need to see the end of the world. Take the piano as an example, the keyboard has a beginning and an end, it is not infinite, the music is infinite. On the keyboard, I can play infinite music, I like it. But After walking through the springboard, there are countless keys on the keyboard in front of me. How can an infinite keyboard make music?—Not for mortals, but for God. I was born in a boat, and I grew up in a boat. Carrying 2,000 passengers, carrying both people and dreams, but the range cannot be separated from the bow and stern. I am used to such a life - land? For me, land is too big a ship, it is too beautiful The beauty of my life is a voyage that is too long, a perfume that is too strong, and a movement that cannot be played. I can't give up this ship. I would rather... give up my life. Anyway, no one in the world remembers me, Except you, only you know I'm here. You're in the minority, forgive me, my friend, I can't get off the boat."
--------------- 1900


Sea Pianist is Italian film director Giuseppe · Tonatore (Giuseppe Tornatore's trilogy with the best soundtrack.
Man finds his muse on the edge of extremes, I've always believed that. True artists mostly live extreme lives. 1900 lived on a boat for life, but this does not necessarily mean that it is closed, a boat is also a small world. Coming and going, the scenery of the four seasons. Here Tonatore uses a metaphor: 1900, who never left the ship, is a microcosm of all the top artists who insist on their artistic dreams.
In the movie, 1900 has two of its best performances: one on a stormy night; and one with a jazz player. In the stormy night, 1900 pulled down the fixed bolt of the piano, and the piano slid with the sway of the boat. 1900 seemed to be performing a dance that could only be intoxicated alone in a ballroom. In the competition of jazz players, the director deliberately set up a suspense and started playing an ordinary tune in 1900. With the arrogant jazz player unconscious, 1900 was finally aroused, he put a cigarette next to the piano, and after playing an extremely fast-paced and passionate tune, he calmly put the cigarette At the piano (sorry, I don't know where)? The cigarette was actually lit by the hot part of the piano.

    Some people go from land to sea in search of the wider world, some people listen to the sound of the sea on land, and people at sea have a fear of the unknown for the solid land that stretches indefinitely. The boat is his key, he doesn't have to get off the boat, the world naturally passes by him, the world doesn't need to know him, but he can read the world from the keys on the boat. The keys are limited, the music is unlimited, the length of life is limited, the possibility of life is unlimited

    Maybe because of being abandoned since childhood, he had no sense of security. Later, he said that "the limited piano keyboard and the cruise ship made me feel at ease", and even the woman he liked didn't give him enough security to have the courage to go out. Maybe 1900 is right, the world of high-rise buildings is more complex and more challenging, but it also has additional troubles. In order not to worry, he chose not to challenge. So only the people who got off the boat thought it was a pity that he died with the boat, but he himself felt good. In addition, the film is in the era of immigration waves that immigrated to the United States under various crises in Europe. Records replaced live performances and jazz replaced classical repertoire. Does the film express from the side not to blindly conform to social trends, but to retain the elegance of European civilization. The demeanor, less worldly, more pure! Just like if an artist paints for the sake of selling money, then his paintings will no longer have his own soul. In 2019, it will be re-released nationwide. After watching it, I suddenly feel that 1900 is very similar to Cheng Dieyi. A loyalty.
