Movie Reviews of The Legend of 1900
Movie Review: One of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
it's a beautiful story with a very sad end. One of the best. Once you seen this movie, you'll want to have it. Personaly, I just love it.You cannot miss something like this.Movie Review: One of the best movies almost no one has seen
Summary: 5 Stars
I would personally rate this hauntingly beautiful movie among the best I've seen, and as others reviewers have said, it's worth watching for the music alone, even if you don't end up liking the story.
I first saw this movie, curiously enough, on a Lufthansa flight back in 2000 or so, and since then heard almost nothing else about it until I found it on a friend's Amazon wish list. It doesn't have a typical Hollywood sort of plot, but I'm surprised at how little an impact it seemed to make even with people normally into this kind of film.
Movie Review: Exceptional and Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
Strongly suggest this movie to everybody. The character is so fascinating, very athypical and sensible, sometimes even weird. He had never put his feet on earth, literally, he always lived on board the ship.
The story is very original and unpredictable with great features. Supporting actors are also superb, the trumpet player is fun to watch, and how can i not mention the rival pianist - awesome. my best shot is when he lights his cigarette with the hot piano chords.
(still can't believe it that i'm the first person reviewing this movie)
I've already watched it some 6 times and I always look forward for the next opportunity.
Movie Review: Disaster at Sea
Summary: 1 Stars
It takes better than two hours to find out if the faux legendary pianist 1900 will go down with the Virginian when it is blown up at sea after being taken out of service. And it is two completely wasted hours. Hard to say what is most annoying -- the omnipresent voiceover, the philosophical twaddle that rationalizes why he never leaves the ship, the philosophical twaddle when he almost leaves the ship, the bad acting, the farcical piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, the fleeting love story with a young passenger who looks like Amelia Earhart confused about why she's on a ship instead of her plane. The movie is splendidly photographed -- give it that much. I watched it because of the director's earlier Cinema Paradiso. He is a far better cinematic teller of memoirs than of fables. Movie Review: A great movie with a sorrowful end.
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie with my teacher and all my classmates yesterday. All of us found it was very impressed and loved it very much. And my heart couldn't be calm because of this movie last night.
I found that this pianist had a strange individuality, maybe it was because that he didn't get along with children who were at his age when he was a kid. But he had the talent of playing piano, and he seemed to be care about nothing. Confidence always showed on his face, even if another pianist came to challenge to him. I wondered that whether he has thought of becoming famous, but he thought his music couldn't be separated from him. I could see he was very uncomfortable and a little angry when he listened to the music he played in the record. I couldn't understand why he didn't want to go to the land, then disappeared with the old ship in the explosion, forever, and what left were pity and sadness, to his friend, and everyone loved him so much, also to us. How large the world will be enough for him, I wondered.
I don't know what I said all above, but one of my friends online said, "Only the Sea and the ship could contain the life and dreams of this talented pianist." I think he was right, only the waves could make the pianist find the feeling of playing. So, the day when the ship must be exploded was the day when he had to go to the land, also the day to the end of his life. When I saw he looked up to the disreputable deck with his eyes filled with sadness and hopelessness, I could hardly hold back my tears.
Hmm... I don't know what more I can say, I only feel it's sad and pitying. But I still pray for him that there will be one piano at least in the heaven.
