watched the movie "Sea Pianist" a long time ago, I haven't thought about this issue yet. So thanks for the invitation. Then I will express my personal opinion. How much world does a person need? I think for 1900, the "world" is the ship on which he lived all his life.
In my opinion, 1900 represents those who focus on dreams, pursue the ultimate, and even give life to dreams. They are unwilling to think about this complicated world. The people who disembark in the movie represent those who are easily disturbed and tempted by the outside world. They may be troubled by running around for life all their lives. As for "Sea Pianist", why is it classic? I think the reason why we love a movie is not only because it tells a touching story, but because there may be another self in that movie that we cannot be. And 1900 is the "self" that we cannot be.
Danny, the boat worker, found a box on the piano while cleaning up the garbage on the cruise ship. Inside it was a baby. He thought the "TD" on the box was the abbreviation of "Thanks Danny" and decided to raise the child and give it back to him The name is "1900". Gradually, the employees and captain of a ship joined together to raise and educate 1900. 1900 was very smart and naughty. He grew up on the ship, but Danny was eventually buried at sea because of an accident. One day, 1900 was actually playing the piano without a teacher, but it was so beautiful that everyone on board was shocked.
So 1900 became the pianist on board. He became friends with the trumpeter Max. He played against the piano and won the pianist who claimed to be the inventor of jazz. He fell in love with a female ship passenger at first sight. There were many temptations on land, but 1900 never left the ship, even if the ship To blow up, he did not want to leave, and disappeared into the sea with the ship. The most perplexing question for the audience must be: why did not want to disembark in 1900? Probably because the ship is like his mother, and he hasn't grown up yet.
1900 has been on the ship since he was a child. Danny was very worried that 1900 would not survive if he left the ship. In the eyes of 1900, Danny was finally buried at sea and did not leave the sea. And 1900 believed in what Danny taught him, including the definition of "mother" and "orphanage". Even when he grew up, he still believed Danny's explanation. Although the age has been growing, 1900 is also very curious about the land, but has never left the ship. He is so familiar with ships, it can be seen from the fact that he plays the drift piano and that no one can find him when he hides it.
From birth, 1900 could only receive care and education from Danny and other boatmen. They were mainly male, and Danny left when he was young. Perhaps we can guess that 1900 did not draw a clear line between himself and the ship. The ship is like a mother. He is safe on board. But he does not exist in the world outside the ship. He does not have a birth certificate, ID card and various certificates. He is forgotten by the world, and the ship can accept him.
According to Erickson’s psychosocial development theory, the important task of people in their adolescence is to establish identity. Self-identity is the integration of one's own perceptions of different aspects, and the feeling of self-integration and adaptation in a specific environment, including the "who am I", "what kind of person I will become" and "how do I adapt to society" And other issues. However, 1900 did not separate himself from the ship, and there was no option to leave the ship in his future plans. On the boat, the world he saw was limited, and he had not received systematic education and training. There was not enough stimulation to allow him to complete the exploration of himself and the world.
