This is a good-looking movie. My first judgment on the movie is very simple, whether it is good or not. When discussing the meaning, it is only after the good-looking movie. No matter how meaningful the bad movie is, the director is also a failure for me. Speaking of movies famous for their pianos: The relatively lengthy "The Pianist" is so-so, it might make me not take the director's way, and it's really about war. "Piano Teacher", which also uses piano as the theme, is very beautiful, but it is actually about women. So it seems that the very good piano movie is this one and "The Pianist at Sea". The latter trilogy has always been listed as my favorite movie. I really like Tony Torrey's shooting method. But the two films can be said to be completely different, the only thing in common is the two geniuses who love the piano.
In fact, the two geniuses are proud to live out their own people in the world, but Jenny's life is almost, not born in a small utopia like 1900, but suffered in a cruel society. It is conceivable that Jenny's talents discovered since childhood made Jenny run around in piano competitions, but no one established a correct outlook on life for him, so there would be such "stupid things" as helping her boyfriend against murder, coupled with her stepfather's sexual assault, abortion and prison. The distorted personality in Mrs. Kruger just met J must be an unreasonable lunatic and scum in the eyes of others, what did not fall into the stereotype is that Mrs. Kruger did not want to save her, she said "I can help you become A better pianist, but it doesn't make you a good person", I knew it was a good movie.
The so-called geniuses are actually softer than ordinary people, because fame and fortune and praise they have met too much, but the simplest smile will make them write down their defenses. When everyone is chasing fame and fortune, they have been dragged down too much by fame and fortune. . How young J could be deceived by the bastard is clear at a glance (at first I thought she killed the bastard adoptive father, but after seeing that, her adoptive father is not a heinous bastard). We always wonder how if we have this talent, how to make good use of it and live happily ever after. But in the idea of genius, the real happy life must be not to use his talent, this talent is only a tool for him to express happiness to himself, not a tool to use. They must also want to succeed, not their personal success, but the success of their talent. 1900 loves to play for the poor standing in the cabin, and J is actually happy to go to the competition.
Maybe the difference between 1900 and Jenny is male and female? 1900 can turn back resolutely at the moment of disembarking, because he can talk about his own reasons, and his strength is very self. But our ruffian J is actually very weak, she needs someone who understands her, and she also needs to talk about her pain, when she said to Mrs. When the story is more exciting", I was also taken aback, this girl has really endured a lot, we often say "mourning the misfortune, angering it", but it seems that it can't be applied to geniuses, because they are amazed as soon as they shoot, it seems that There are reasons for willfulness. The willfulness of geniuses is always much better than the willfulness of ordinary people. They have capital. If there is no Mrs. Kruger, in fact, only 4 minutes are missing, but these 4 minutes can change her life and make her face life again. She is still rebellious, but he has learned to apologize and curtsey.
I like her ending very much, it's very real, the handcuffs are handcuffed, and Jenny will also pay the price for "Prison Escape" and switch to the United States to shoot, I don't know if it will be another Chicago film.
In fact, this film is incomparable with The Pianist at Sea. One is romantic Italy and the other is rigorous and proud Germany.
