clear and smart, and the woman's voice is childish, timid and graceful.
In fact, the plot is very simple. In 1912, the American woman Ada, who was willing to aphasia since the age of six,
took her daughter Flora to marry New Zealand on a boat, with a fine piano and a pile of luggage. The storm delayed their arrival, and their luggage was blown away by the sea breeze
. The husband Stewart brought not enough manpower to bring all the luggage home. Stewart refuses to
throw clothes and kitchen utensils on the beach, preferring to leave Ada's beloved piano on the beach. Obviously, although the husband looks comparatively good, but is set
as vulgar, snobbish, but not the music, you can not understand Ada dedication and love for the piano. I have no opinion on this setting,
because in this world, not everyone knows the power of music and beauty, The Shawshank Redemption in that
there are prisoners heard Madame Butterfly aria stopped working, looked up, a look of holy pursuit The
lens of the direction in which the music appears is , after all, only a form of romantic expression.
Ada begged her neighbor Baines to take them to the beach to find a piano. This part is beautifully filmed. Ada plays the piano intoxicated, Flora
dances on the beach , and Baines stares at them intently.
Later, Bains funded the transportation of the piano, obtained the piano in exchange for the land, and asked Ada to teach him how to play the piano every day. But
in fact, Bains doesn't like learning to play the piano. He just loves to watch her play the piano, or the appearance of her playing the piano, petite,
pale, indifferent, passion and devotion from a foreign land . Here the film begins to become vulgar and superficial. I originally thought that an uncivilized
aboriginal like Bains just admired Ada, Ada’s pianos and the culture and civilization they represented. He actually didn’t know art, but
Compared to Stewart, he naturally yearns for and respects art, even if it is just a form of art, the appearance of an exotic woman playing the piano
. It turned out that this was not the case at all, he had no respect for her, only lust. He exchanged strokes, strokes
once, in exchange for a black piano key. And Ada actually agreed, which obviously surprised the audience. Do be sure to use lowly dirty
dirty form to get what they most love, it seems profound friendship?
As the lust deepens, he asks to sleep with her naked. But it was just pure touch.
On the second day, Brains asked someone to lift the piano and give it to her. Ada moved under the initiative to find him, so for some the passion play
play. Ada is no longer directed efforts to portray, to understand the true meaning of life and choose silence, obsessed with dance music on the keyboard of
apathy free artist, but a burst of passion woman in full swing, while the previous color with her Puritan,
total He is a black hat, black dress and black dress, with a pale face, restrained expression, self-discipline, self-love, and silence.
Unfortunately, Stewart just witnessed this passionate scene outside the window. Before that, out of respect for Ada, they
didn't even kiss goodbye before going to bed.
Stewart was very depressed and shut Ada at home in an attempt to influence her.
I'm so impatient to tell this boring story. In short, Ada misses Brains and removes a key to ask her daughter Flora
to give it to Brains. The daughter gave it to Stewart, and Stewart cut off her right index finger in a rage.
I always remember Stewart slashing the piano with an axe furiously, shaking Ada, angrily and sadly asking her: I trust you
so, I trust you so!
This paragraph is really sad. Of course, the director may not think that, otherwise, he would not set the so-called climax and let Stewart cut it.
Ada's right index finger made Stewart completely an unpopular character and made the audience sympathize and pity the heroine.
In the end, Stewart reluctantly gave in and asked Brains to take them and leave with the piano.
So the film is back to the beginning. It's still a cloudy beach, or a gray-blue, black-and-black picture. The difference is that the last
time I arrived, this time I left. When at sea, Ada suddenly demands of indigenous people rowing the piano thrown big
sea. She had planned to sink along with her, but then suddenly broke free of the rope and floated to the surface of the sea.
In the end, Ada, Brains, and Flora lived a happy life. Ada makes a living by teaching students to play the piano and works hard to learn to speak
. She has a fake finger cot on her right index finger.
This is definitely a mediocre and boring movie. I don't know why some people call it a feminist film. I dare not claim
to have a good understanding of feminist theories, but in such a superficial film, I can actually see women's liberation and
the realization of women's self , and be able to deconstruct a large set of theories, which is really incredible.
I have to admit that some of the music is very good, bright and fresh. There are also some very good shots. For example, Ada looks back at
the piano left on the beach from a distance . The tide washes the piano on its own side over and over again. The sky is dark and obscure. The lens gradually zooms out
. The piano is still standing alone on the beach. , And the dark clouds are getting lower and lower, and heavy rain is coming. The little actor who plays the daughter Flora
plays very well, and Zaohui is cunning.
Of course, I never admit that the excellence of music and graphics means that the absence of logic is negligible. The soul of the movie is not
only in the pictures and the soundtrack, but also in the artistic conception created by these pictures and the message conveyed. Regarding human nature, regarding others
, these explorations were originally endless. In this sense, the characters in this film lack logic in their hearts and plots.
Series, but the director set the self-righteous self-assertion, ignoring the wisdom of the audience, ignoring the humanity of real and sincere, but did not
have any background as a contrast and restrictions.
Of course, I know that the interpretation of silence and noise at the beginning and end will be well received by some people. As a matter of fact, we all know
that these are just extraordinarily profound lines often found in Western movies, just like the babble
at the end of The Legend of 1900, 1900 expounding "the ship is limited, the land is unlimited". Listen it seems to make sense, actually
the director simply defy all wisdom, self-righteous to play it. Westerners say Less is more, and Chinese traditional painting pays
attention to white space, but unfortunately these directors don't understand. 1900 period tirade I see almost collapsed, my heart in this film
score is not original heads high, this nonsense has to lower it a few levels.
Aphasia is just a gimmick in the film, because Ada doesn't refuse to communicate with people, just a different form. And,
when making love with a lover, you can break the taboo and whisper to your ears.
I still don't understand why these two people love each other, and they still look painful and sincere.
Ada doesn't love Stewart, I can understand. Because he doesn't understand music, piano, snobbery, and mediocre, even though he loves her
very much and respects her very much. But does Brains understand her piano sound and heart? He was actually impatient to listen to her playing the piano, just fascinated
by her appearance, the temptation from the civilized world under the black dress and black dress, so he touched the flesh in exchange. Later,
he was in pain again, because she felt that she didn't like him and didn't care about him, so he voluntarily ended the course and gave out the piano. Brai
ns was lying on the bed decadently, seeming to be suffering for love, so the director set it like this. It is a pity that, in my opinion,
this so-called pain is nothing but the pain of unsatisfied lust. And most of the love in the world is hard, but so.
Of course, I believe that the director wants me to believe that there is some kind of love between the two people, but I can't understand it. I do not
deny that indulged in a musical, will also have silent heart the love between a woman and a vulgar old illiterate farmer, but
it may not be affiliated empathy love, may be more profound feelings of mutual respect and make love. Unfortunately, like the director
is high above God, and refused to provide any details specific for understanding, but proud set, that's it, is not
necessarily ask why. I can only think that Ada just been Brains rough stroked inspired lust, because I do not understand
Why the kinds of simple transactions will love, but love certainly turned into lust satisfied, after satisfying is no longer painful,
painful Unable to continue to be satisfied. This is ridiculous, isn't it?
The whole film didn't show that Ada loves music very much, except at the beginning of the life and death to retrieve the piano. Although she likes playing the piano very much,
it is just one of the common hobbies. And the beginning of the locals are not allowed to touch her piano, do not want to teach others to learn to play
the piano, this is actually a manifestation of selfish indifference, and everyone can not wait to want to distinguish themselves, and not out of the piano
beloved, otherwise She won't take off the keys in order to express her thoughts to her lover. I always thought that art is a lonely quiet
, and the exchange of art is happy urgent, like this obsessive and self-righteous arrogance is not an art-loving
person did.
What does love mean?
Maybe the director wants to say that it means that a woman pursues the dual freedom of spirit and body, so she speaks, so she
and her lover stay together happily.
This is the so-called expression and deconstruction of feminism?
I suspect that what I use, understand, and interpret is not the same English word, Fe
minism , that the director and his supporters admire .
I always think that love first means honesty.
Ada looks like music, self-concern, in fact, nothing but busy having an affair, enjoy the joy of the flesh, and this fight is not
counted honestly inform faithfully loved and respected her husband, this, too, women have an independent spirit, Is this
love worthy of praise ?
Women's liberation and independence means that she can honestly face the world, including her heart, her passion, her tone
music, her ideas, and her knowledge of the era, the era of influence on her.
Which we expect to see all the things missing in this film, piano, woman, aphasia, sea, love, that
these isolated images not indicate any problems, there is no inherent logic of support, it was a ground debris.
The so-called classics are often nothing more than that.
There is no need to trust and admire the wisdom of most people in this world too much.
But it really makes me sad.
