, his name is very long, but when people abbreviate his name, his name is beautiful A piano piece;
has such a person, his name is Danny Boodmann TD Lemon Nineteen Hundred '1900', people call him "1900". A person like
, he survived in the feature film "Sea Pianist" directed by Giuseppe Tonatore and starring Tim Rose and Bill Numeranenni Thierry.
The film tells the legendary story of an abandoned baby named "1900" who became a piano master on an ocean liner and became a piano master. The film is adapted from the 1994 theater text "1900: Monologue" by Alessandro Balico. In 2000, the film won the 57th American Golden Globe Awards for Best Film Score, European Film Awards for Best Photography and many other awards.
There is a sentence in "The Ship of Hesius" that suits him-born in a ship, and died in a ship.
1900 was born on this luxurious cruise ship named Virginia. The furnace worker accidentally discovered this abandoned baby child.
In 1900, at the turn of the century, 1900 came to this world.
Once, he had many opportunities to disembark, but he eventually coexisted and died with the cruise ship that was about to be blown up.
He could have survived, but he chose to die.
Many people ask: Why, why don’t you disembark?
Through the clear eyes of 1900 on the screen, I saw the pure soul imprisoned on this ship.
01
Virginia Burner Danny wanted to pick up something that the guests didn't want but had some value, but he never wanted to pick up a child, a white and tender child with a different skin color.
"I picked up my child!" Danny looked at the letter "TD" in the baby's swaddling, and said proudly: "This is what'Thanks Danny' means!"
He took a long one for this child His name, but everyone finally called him: "1900!"
When Danny was still alive, Danny liked to teach 1900 to read through the newspaper. But only let him look at it.
He said: "Everything outside the Virginia is bad."
At that time, the United States not only ushered in a wave of immigration, but also ushered in war. In the first 10 years of the 20th century, more than 1 million immigrants poured into the United States by boat each year. At the same time, from 1914 to 1918, this period was also the time when the First World War broke out.
At the beginning of the movie, we saw the cheers of immigrants in the United States, their hope and vision for a new life, and the inequality hidden under this rapid development. Danny and his colleagues kept filling boilers in the swaying cabins that were hit by the waves to provide heat for ships to sail, etc. They used cursing lawyers and upper-class people as cheering slogans, and the upper-class people Enjoy the first-class service in the upper-class cabin.
Everything outside the Virginia is bad, so must the inside of the Virginia be good?
In Danny's eyes, perhaps the gap between the rich and the poor here is not too big, and those rich people will not always work and live on the ship after they have boarded the ship, and always leave. Most of the remaining people are people of the same level as Danny, and naturally live a leisurely life.
In the eyes of children, teaching their father is a lifelong teacher. Although he didn't mention his adoptive father much when he grew up in 1900, his thoughts were all influenced by Danny.
He subconsciously resisted disembarking, and never thought of disembarking.
Since "everything outside the Virginia is bad", the Virginia is the resting place of his soul. The words
tightly lock 1900 and Virginia together. Why didn't
02
disembark?
When you asked such a question when 1900 was twenty years old, 1900 might answer it like this-
"I think you people on the shore waste your time asking why you got on the land.". When winter arrives, I can’t wait for summer. Summer comes and I am afraid of winter. I am always looking for a paradise that does not belong to you. "
For 1900, the Virginia with a piano is his home. What's so bad about
on a ship? Isn’t it possible that you can’t survive without land? From 1900,
seems to be like this, even in the stormy Virginia The turbulence was overwhelming, but he was still able to press the notes he wanted on the piano keys.
didn’t know anything until the outside world?
looked at 1900, thousands of travelers changing every time. They are all channels for him to learn about information. Max, who has just arrived on this ship as a trumpet player, was amazed: "I thought you were that genius pianist, but hearing you are so familiar with Boston, I suspect that you are not... .... He never got off the boat! "The world of
1900 is a purely musical world. He sees the world, and he expresses the world through his piano performance to tell his aspirations... everything about him.
His music changes frequently and is very Don’t repeat it, this is because he is using music to describe every person he sees and the life he sees-
"Look at that lady, she looks like she is colluding with her lover to murder her husband, and she is now taking her home The jewelry abscond! "
" Look at that man, he can't forget the past, his mind is full of thoughts, but he can't let go..."
" What about her? "
" She seems to be a prostitute who wants to escape into the empty door. "
Max suddenly understood that 1900 knows how to interpret, not books, everyone knows it. He can perceive their gestures, their class, voice, smell, their hometown, their stories, and all their imprints. It can be interpreted through continuous observation, analysis, organization, and drawing a huge map in his mind. Perhaps he has not personally visited it.
has spent thirty years in his world on a ship. These thirty years Over the years, he has been on the boat watching the world indifferently, but he has its essence. Why didn’t
03
get off the boat?
When you asked him when you were thirty in 1900, he might answer—
"I can’t see the end of the world," Sorry, I don't want to go down. "
, however, 1900 almost got off the ship. When
won the jazz founder's fight, the record company found him. When he was recording for the record company, he saw Padowan, A girl who moved his heart, his first love.
may be a reflection problem of glass. The girl used this window as a mirror to tidy up the appearance. But 1900 saw the girl’s clear eyes through this window-he The heart was moved, and he created a tune that belonged to this girl.
was even more surprised that the girl’s grandfather was the middle-aged man who told him "Life is infinite". After the girl left the ship, 1900 thought about it for seven years— —Does he want to get off the boat.
"The sea seems to roar at you: You! Life is unlimited! Do you understand it? unlimited! "
" changes lives and starts from scratch. "
He decided to follow his own will and get off the boat!
However, when he stood in the middle of the gangway, looking at the endless houses and chimneys that appeared in front of him...He went back.
Someone was angry: coward , Just a coward, why didn’t he disembark?
Yes, why didn’t 1900 disembark after all? Why did
have a beloved girl in his heart, and still can’t let this person get out of the Virginia?
When Max saw 1900 for the last time, 1900 confessed to him what he was thinking at the time-
"The whole city, you can't see the end of him, the end... Can you tell me where is the end of the city? ...What made me stop is what we didn't see. Understand? What I can't see is the criss-cross streets in the city. There is nothing but the end. There is no end. What I see is that in the future after I disembark, I cannot see the end of the world. To use the piano analogy, the piano keys have a beginning and an end. I know very clearly that there are 88 keys in the piano.Someone suggested that there is no infinite factor in it, you are infinite... You are not standing in the right position at all, that is the piano of God. Then the whole world is just weighing on you, you don't even know when will it end? It will end? In the world of
1900, there is only this piano with a beginning and an end. He can completely manipulate the piano to play endless music. However, there are too many "keys" in the outside world. Compared to the infinity of the piano, he has become in such a city controlled by God. The manipulator becomes the manipulated, how does he adapt?
Therefore, he chose to go to Huangquan together with the Virginia.
He was abandoned by the world when he was born and accepted by the ship and piano, so now He will not merge with such a world that is more infinite than him. His world is only music.
"I was born on this ship, and I have passed by this world. ”
