People once compared it with the Titanic to the two greatest ships of the 19th century.
is just one that made a sensation in the world as soon as it came out, and has been famous for a long time in the following years; while the other appeared low-key and became eternal in the eyes of movie fans after many years.
is even more important for Chinese movie fans. "The Pianist of the Sea" has always been in the top 20 list of Douban top250. Together with "Paradise Cinema" and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", it is also known as the favorite Giuseppe of Chinese audiences. Tonadore trilogy.
Many people regard it as their favorite movie, not one of them; they regard it as their spiritual food and watch it repeatedly.
Even the poster for the "4K restoration" re-screening of "Pianist on the Sea" by Huang Hai has been on the hot search many times:
, a 21-year-old movie, was released in the mainland on November 15. Outstanding box office performance.
On November 15th, which is Friday, three high-profile movies will be released, Jianhua Huo and Ma Sichun’s "About Winter", the Hollywood blockbuster "Charlie Babies" and "The Pianist at Sea".
thought that the "Sea Pianist", which has been viewed many times offline by the audience, would become an escort, but he did not expect it to gradually become the protagonist.
was third in the box office on the 15th, and on the 16th, it overtook "Charles of the Thunder" and became the one-day box office runner-up. The performance of
can be said to be beyond many people's expectations, but it also directly proves the powerful vitality of classic movies, even 21 years. In the past, newcomers kept pouring out of the audience, and the tastes of the audience kept changing, and the classics could still retain fans.
But at the beginning of its birth in 1998, the fate of "Sea Pianist" was very tortuous. The
film was initially released in Italy for 3 hours. Later, at the request of the distributor, director Giuseppe Tonadore made some cuts. The company asked the film to become more dramatic and more in line with the mainstream aesthetic. After
several deletions were still very long, the company ignored the "Berne Convention" stipulation that "the final editing rights of the film belong to the director" and threatened Giuseppe Tonadore that it would not continue to distribute the film without deleting it.
was included in major film festivals, and the film was also required to delete at least another 40 minutes. In the end, the film was not accepted because the length of 2 hours and 45 minutes was not accepted and missed the Berlin Film Festival.
So from the screening to the exhibition, "The Pianist of the Sea" was actually a very difficult one. Although it was also released and sparked a discussion, it also won more than 20 various awards worldwide, but compared with "Titanic" The miraculous success of "Pianist on the Sea" was undoubtedly a failure. For a long time after the
film appeared in Europe and America, there was a polarization of word-of-mouth, and it was even rated as "the best bad film" by the media.
director Giuseppe Tonadore’s too plain narrative technique has also been criticized as "not so artistic."
and the film cost 20 million US dollars, the cost is far beyond the average level of filming in Italy in the 1990s, but the benefits gained are far lower than expected.
Tim Rose, who played the male lead 1900, went to Italy for the first time when filming "The Pianist on the Sea". He was moved by the story because of the monologue "1900: Monologue" and participated in the film.
And Tim Rose didn't know how to play the piano, but a careful audience will find that several close-ups in the film are Tim Rose's own hands, not a stand-in.
This is because Tim Rose did have a period of devil training during the filming process and mastered some basic essentials.
The story of "The Pianist on the Sea" is actually very simple. It tells how a boy born on a boat grew into a genius pianist and lived his life at sea.
He never got off a boat in his life, and finally buried himself and his spirit in the sea where the "sound of the sea" could never be heard. The classic feature of the
movie is that it tells this simple to almost unbelievable plot into a story that seems to have happened in reality. In the process,
took the audience to explore the meaning of life and faith, witnessed the extraordinary in ordinary life, and made a legend.
If the Titanic carries the eternity and greatness of love, then "The Virginian in "Sea Pianist" carries the ultimate loneliness and romance of life. The music of
is also a highlight of "The Pianist on the Sea". The film won the best soundtrack award at the 57th Golden Globe Awards. Among them, the battle of the piano on the stormy night is the climax of the film, which is enough to let people see the shooting. .
Finally Tooney carried the stereo to the old ship that was about to be blown up, playing the unnamed song over and over again, just to ask 1900 to come out to meet, I believe everyone was crying and watching it.
He could not persuade 1900, just like 1900 could not change the countless windows in that city, he could not hear the sound of the sea, but he could not personally break the maritime utopia that supported his body and spirit.
So he used his own way to complete the weakness of 1900, and also made the immortality of the sea pianist.
