The Legend of 1900, a legend

that is beyond sight. Why is it always reluctant to leave that ship floating on the ocean? No one has a better reason than 1900, and no reason is better than his. The reason is even more absurd.

As far as I am concerned, the most exciting part of the whole film is the long classic monologue at the end of 1900:

(……Land? Land is a ship too big for me, It's a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to strong, music I don't know how to play. I can never get off this ship, At best, I didn't step off my life. After all, I don't exist for anyone..… …Land? Land is a too big ship for me, too beautiful woman, too long journey, too strong perfume, music to start with. I can never get off this ship, so I would rather Give up my life. After all, I have never existed for anyone, did I?)

The 88 black and white keys of the piano are the life he can master, and this huge ship filled with people of all colors going north and south is In a miniature world, he can learn about all kinds of different life and all the things that happened on land from these passengers.Imagining the ghostly fog on the streets of New Orleans, he can even touch the scene and see what kind of people. He can improvise and play superb songs, whores, thieves, fools in love, and whore who complicity with lover to murder her husband. It is simply amazing. The quality of the original is clean and clean. Of course he has the right and a good reason not to Leaving that ship. What kind of life is this? We can only envy.

I am afraid that no one is more suitable to play 1900 than Tim Ruth, especially his eyes and hands. Those eyes allow you to see almost all of 1900: wisdom, leisure, deep, calm, melancholy, and self-sufficient. , Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Except for one time, he hesitated. He knew for the first time from a farmer who finally opened his life’s horizons that there was a "sound of the sea". He thought he had everything, but he didn’t. I have heard the sound of the ocean, although he has been floating in the ocean all his life. It was from this time that our 1900 began to change. We might as well regard this as the temptation of the outside world to him. However, the greater temptation comes from For love, and more importantly, the object of his love is the farmer’s daughter.

Finally one day, he packed his luggage, put on the beautiful coat given to him by his only friend, the trumpeter, and decided to leave him. The ship that had left, went to the land to listen to the sound of the sea, to find his love. However, when he was about to set foot on land, his inner voice saved him. Since then, he has never left the ship again , Until the ship is destroyed.

There is no doubt that he is a perfect idealist, and even calling him an idealist is not accurate, because ideals are always beyond reach, and he finally achieved a beautiful His legend. He has become an eternal idol in the hearts of us idealists. But ideals are ideals, but in reality it is difficult for us to do like him. Human beings have fallen from the golden age, the silver age, to the bronze age and even the bronze age. It was the age of black iron. People like 1900 can only live in the golden age of human beings. Just like Zhang Ailing said, "We will never go back", we have put on the red shoes of technology and knowledge. , Is destined to jump on this increasingly filthy stage of the earth at a faster and faster pace until death, and the calm eyes of 1900 may once again appear before dying.

Because of this, I rarely see This film, although I have its DVD. Because my mood is dark enough, I don’t want to immerse myself in this darkness anymore, because 1900 is a beautiful glass of poisonous wine. Although 1900 is our idol, but In reality, it is not easy for us to be able to do that trumpeter.
