It's a lonely island and a garden of Eden

The Virginian was an island in the heart of 1900, but for him, the island was not closed and lonely, but belonging and security. An abandoned orphan, 1900 was raised by workers on the Virginian, his home, and everyone on board was his family and companion, with whom 1900 felt at ease and wanton. He has a remarkable talent for piano and is the pride of the Virginian. The VIPs on the ship liked to listen to him play the piano, the crew liked to discuss him, and even the most famous jazz musician lost to him on the Virginian, and everyone complained about the fuck jazz with him. On this isolated island, he has a sense of belonging, enjoys a sense of accomplishment, carefree and full of ambition, and the Virginian is his Garden of Eden.

To have a leisurely and happy immortal leave the Heavenly Palace and go down to earth to experience it. In mythology, it will be called being banished to earth to go through hardships. Only the immortals who make mistakes will be punished by this. But after seeing the comfortable days in heaven, it would be a bad thing to go to the world, and it takes a lot of courage. If it is not necessary, no immortal will go down to the earth to experience it. Like 1900, he was used to being comfortable and happy in his Garden of Eden. This kind of life and experience was so beautiful that he was so attached to this life that he completely lost the courage to live on land. I can understand this kind of complex, sometimes I would rather die together with good memories than go through all the unknowns and panics. People are inherently fragile. It is not a fault to choose to be vulnerable and give up being strong. It is just a personal choice.

    The second of Tonadore's "Going Home Trilogy", I personally think it is far worse than "Paradise Cinema". The solitary, pure and undisputed genius pianist, the piano floating in the cabin with the current, the vast sea and the cramped cruise ship, the endlessly vast reinforced concrete forest... This film is a symbolic allegory, and it is also a symbol of literary and artistic style. audience satisfaction. Morricone's soundtrack actually made me love it for the first time, and it made me cry. PS: 2019.11.29 The big screen revisited the short version, the look and feel are similar, but I still feel that the plot cannot be studied in detail, and it is too superficial. But my favorite part is when the pianist was recording a record while looking at the woman playing the piano outside the porthole. (8.0/10)

    1900 said, look at the land, there are so many streets, criss-crossing, it's terrible, I can't see where the end is. But obviously, living on a boat like a swimming island country and making this home is even more lonely and scary. I think, this is probably the cosmic level of romance and loneliness that I will never understand in my life. His soul merged with the ship, this may be the best ending for him, he should be remembered by history, but not suitable for the future

The Legend of 1900 quotes

  • Max: Oh you can get off the ship alright, but the ocean?

  • Max: What the hell do you think about when you're playing? Where does your mind go when you hit the keys?

    1900: Last night I was in a beautiful country. Women had perfume in their hair, everything glowed. It was full of tides.

    Max: He traveled. And each time he ended up some place different. In the heart of London, on a train in the middle of the country, on the edge of a giant volcano, in the biggest church in the world, countin' the columns and staring up at the crucifixes. He traveled.
