don't know if you have noticed that nowadays there are fewer and fewer classic film and television works. There are many films that have been technically reworked and then put on the screen, but few have caused big waves. Is it that the old classics are out of date? Today, I will introduce a classic film to everyone. It lets us know that not all classics are suitable for the big screen again.
Recently, a classic Hollywood movie "The Pianist on the Sea" was released in mainland China again after technical restoration. The film's reputation was second only to "Titanic", but its box office once again moved to the big screen is very unsatisfactory. The box office only exceeded 30 million in two days after its release. This result is also very surprising.
This movie is adapted from the drama "1900: Monologue" by the Italian writer Alessandro Ballico, which is similar to "Titanic". It's just an inspirational and sad, lucky and unfortunate story, and a touching love story. The same thing is that the stories all happen on the ship. When the two works premiered, the box office continued to rise, and the reputation was also very good.
"Sea Pianist" mainly tells the legendary life of the hero 1900 at sea. The male protagonist who was born on the passenger ship Virginia was unfortunately abandoned by his parents, and he was adopted by kind sailors. Born on the sea, he was a person who had never existed on land. He had no relatives or household registration. The sea was his cradle.
He and his adoptive father, Danny, grew up with the Virginian berthing to and from the piers. However, the good times did not last long. An accident caused the death of Danny who had been with him for many years, and 1900 became an orphan again. Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, 1900 was lucky to be attached to the piano, and developed a talent that surpassed ordinary people. One night, everyone on the boat was awakened by the beautiful sound of the piano. They followed the sound and found that it was an unlearned 1900 playing in front of the piano. The moving melody moved everyone. Since then, 1900 has begun to sea. The journey of piano playing. People come and go on the passenger ship
, due to fate, 1900 met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her at first sight. He had a desire for love for the first time after studying personnel, but when he mustered up the courage to confess like a girl, the girl had already got off the boat. Between disembarking in search of love and a familiar passenger ship, 1900 chose the latter. This was his closest to land and the farthest from a passenger ship.
, the boy who grew up on a passenger ship, knows nothing about land. He met love, but had to choose to give up. The only ship with him was the Virginia. At the end of the story, the Virginia has experienced the baptism of war, and it will come to the end of its life when it is in disrepair for a long time, and the male protagonist also chooses to coexist and die with it and be buried in the sea together.
Compared with "Titanic", what this film lacks is a touching love story. Because not everyone will have a legendary life, but almost everyone yearns for love. The re-screening of "The Pianist on the Sea" did not get a good response, just because the audience was relatively small. The legendary life of the hero, the ups and downs on the ship, is exciting enough and fascinating. Although the rebroadcast is not good at the box office, it is still a classic movie.
