There is such a classic line in the movie " Truman's World " "If I never see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night." It can also be seen as a declaration of independence in life. In any case, this sentence contains a strong meaning of "cherishing", whether it is for past partners, relatives, or friends, this sentence is difficult to say easily. Saying goodbye to important people is really true. is too hard.
But we might as well understand this passage metaphysically, and regard it as a farewell to the past, is it okay, although Truman is fleeing the land he knows well and is completely unfamiliar in "The World of Truman" When the unknown, it stopped abruptly at that moment, but we are not worried about the life that Truman will face in the future, because before going into the unknown, Truman showed us great courage and dare to tear apart the lies of life 's decision. Such a spirit of courageous exploration has inspired a large number of viewers and empowered their minds. "The Truman World" is also listed as a "must-have-for-life" because of the positive and powerful values it conveys. one of the movies I watched."
So since "The Truman World" is about the courage to explore the unknown, today I will tell you a movie about the fear of the unknown, "The Pianist at Sea".
At the end of "The Pianist at Sea", the male protagonist has such a long inner monologue, which roughly means "When I was about to walk down the hanging ladder, I looked at the city in front of me, with thousands of roads, countless countless. In such a completely unknown area, it is impossible for me to choose a house to live in and find a woman to marry."
Let us introduce the background of this film. It is definitely legendary. The male protagonist 1900 is not an ordinary person, nor is he a normal person. His piano skills are beyond peerless, even to the realm of freewheeling. In the field of piano, he is the best Absolutely superman. However, his upbringing experience is not normal. He was born at sea in 1900. Although he does not have a serious name and identity certificate, he will not become an unknown person because of the piano. At the time, it was already known as an anecdote.
What is so legendary, that is, this person can do things in his field that others can't do, and this person has extraordinary charisma or his story has a taste that can be passed down for a long time, 1900 is consistent, his life Not just a unique legend, but a great story. Since the movie has given us the protagonist's perspective on the life experience of 1900, let's not stick to the quirks like "he doesn't want to get off the boat", and return the theme of watching to "the pianist at sea". 1900 is an undoubted genius in terms of piano. Originally, he was a baby who was abandoned on the ship and adopted by a boiler worker. He got a career playing the piano on a ship by playing the piano inadvertently when he was a child. This was completely self-taught, and the piano became him Show your talents, achieve yourself, and even be a tool for communication.
One of the passages in 1900 when he was playing the piano alone on the ship attracted a ship passenger from Europe. Without much language guidance, the European ship passenger talked about his sad experience and the purpose of wandering. . The wonderful thing about this passage is that 1900 and the European tourists are indeed communicating. The tourists speak for themselves, while 1900 responds with the performance of the piano. The piano has become a tool for his communication, just like many peaks. Like pianists, the piano is not just an item that he shows off or makes famous, it is an indispensable part of his life, and it is because of playing the piano that his life is complete.
brings the topic back to reality, no matter how wonderful and colorful the piano is, it can't fill the whole of his life. In the eyes of his friends, 1900 can't stay on the boat and play the piano all his life. The point is not to play the piano, but to stay on the boat and reluctant to get off, because his outstanding talent will be required to play the piano everywhere, and it is this talent of his, or the like and serious need that show Extraordinary, 1900 should have had a wider life. It's really hard for me to figure out why he didn't want to leave that ship, but if you try to figure out an artist's idea, you'll inevitably fall into a dead end.
"The Pianist at Sea" actually sets up a storytelling method to review the life of 1900 and tell stories.The person involved is 1900's friend, Fatty Max. The two have worked together for many years, and Max is also the person who knows 1900 best. As a friend, 1900 is smart, humorous, passionate, and loves fantasy. At first, Max couldn't believe that 1900 was the pianist who didn't want to get off the ship, but by coincidence, 1900 became the number one Max after getting on the ship. a friend.
Without Max's vision, 1900 is nothing more than a pianist with excellent skills, but as a friend of 1900, we can also see that he is a person with extremely rich inner emotions. When 1900 was about to disembark and parked in the hanging ladder, facing the city in front of him, he suddenly smiled after looking around for a while. Judging from his expression, his heart was full of relief, and then he returned to the boat with big confident steps.
In the end, he would rather die than choose the wide world that his friends and others call him. He left his life on that ship. There is no doubt that if he came to land in 1900, he would surely gain great fame and great wealth. But he would rather stay on that ship, and stay behind for what others see as meaningless. 1900's life was splendid because of the piano, but he hadn't gained what he should have, wealth, fame, status, he should have had, but he just didn't want to leave that ship. It is difficult for us to speculate on the meaning of other people's lives by our own standards of value, but it is too unworthy to die with that old ship like this. 1900 made his life into a legend because of his own choice. If he was not born on the sea, but like the European philosopher Kant who was born two centuries before him, he was born in an ordinary small village, perhaps he The perseverance will not arouse the curiosity of outsiders, nor will they lose their lives. The sea itself is a romantic country, and 1900 does not really exist. Even if it did exist, although he did not have a happy life, his friend Max finally saved his best song. This is extremely important for artists, they cannot die in obscurity because of their own persistence. The final summary is, "The Pianist at Sea", which tells us a romantic story to the end.
