Movie Reviews of The Legend of 1900
Movie Review: Ennio Morricone did a fantastic job with the music.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a very big fan of Ennio Morricone, Giuseppe Tornatore and Tim Roth. I caught this film late one night and rushed out to buy the DVD the next day. The music in this film compares with any other I've seen. The only other composer (for film) that I would place Ennio Morricone second to is the legendary Nino Rota. The reason why I love this film so much is flat out for the music.Tim Roth is amazing too. You really feel for his character. Also this film has some of the most beautiful images as expected with a Tornatore film.
The only slight problems I found with the film was some of the dialogue. It was written by Tornatore who is Italian and some of the humor may work in Italian but doesn't really pan out in english. I still give it 5 stars though.
Movie Review: Beautiful from start to finish
Summary: 5 Stars
A mother gave birth to a baby on a ship crossing the Atlantic. She left him atop a piano to be found. The crew member who found him named him 1900 since he was found on the first day of the first month of 1900. 1900 lives his whole life aboard the ship on which he was born. The Legend of 1900 is the story of his life aboard the ship. This movie is magical. It is enrapturing and has an amazing ability to draw you in from the very beginning with it's magic. 1900 is a phenomenal piano player and the movie comes alive with his music. Only once is 1900 tempted to leave the ship to visit a beautiful young girl who inspired the most beautiful song of the movie. This movie is an experience, not just a movie. You inhale this movie rather than watch it!Movie Review: a legend of beauty
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie came out not too long after i was soarly disgusted by the horriblness that was the movie titanic. The point of my mentioning that is that titanic was a horrendous movie. this movie, similar in its epic sea bound struggles and beauties is a magnificent piece of work. Tim roth plays the role of 1900 in top form. Tornatore's direction is romantic, elegant and takes you in with the loneliness that is the charactor. I was in high school when this came out and it was my big introduction into the music of morricone. The score for this is one of the most beautiful cinematic compositions i have ever heard. For years i have said that this movie is possibly my favorite movie of all time and it seems as though it is staying there holding that title.Movie Review: A Really Great Movie. Disregard My First Review !!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excuse me while I go out and beat my head against the wall for a few minutes. When I first tried to watch this movie, I was at a loss as to why there was no dialogue. Only background sounds. I was ready to return it to Blockbuster when suddenly I had a brainstorm--- maybe something needed to be done to the sound, a feature checked, or unchecked on the menu.
Well, lo and behold, the menu indicator was on "Music and Details Only", so I checked "Dolby Sound" or whatever the choice was, and it was a miracle. They talked !! I started at the beginning again and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was different, --and the main charactor was very admirable, - he made a life choice and stuck to it. Glad I gave it another try.
Movie Review: Who knew life on a boat could be so interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a must see. It is a tale about a boy who is lives his whole life on a charter ship and really gets a master understanding of the piano. I would think it hard to make a story like this one interesting but the writer did a great job along with a superb job by Tim Roth. Roth really put his heart and soul into this role and it really shows. This movie is definatley on my top 5 greatest movies list. This movie has it all: action, suspense, drama, and even comedy. It keeps you interested all the way through and really brings out the emotions of the viewer, not to mention the non-hollywood type ending which just adds the icing to the cake. I give this two thumbs up and recommend it to everyone in any age group.
