The legend of 1900 After watching this film, I can’t hold my tears back. Not only dose it

touched me, but also it described the classical life of a man who has God’s arms. In addition, 1900's story is told via flashback and reflection by Max, a friend of 1900's of whom he spent many years with on the ship, and played the trumpet along side him in the jazz orchestra.

1900 is a talent. When he first touched the piano, he played it excellent. And his spirit is random, he once said :” Fuck the regulation .” He thought his music belongs to the soul, belongs to people who understand it, belongs to the freedom. 1900 never set his foot on the land except when he encountered his love. But when he had already packaged his things and stood on the stairs, he flinched. Then he never step out of the ship, even never go down the stairs. After the war ended ,the ship was too old to carry people and it would be exploded.1900’s friend, his only friend found 1900 still in the ruined ship. But our adamant pianist was stuck with his determination, to him , the ship is all, the ship is his whole world. Before his death, 1900 tells the reasons for not treading on land when he’s walking down the ladder. “ I’m not afraid of what I can see, I’m afraid of what I can’t see”, 1900 is frightened as he can’t see the end of the city. Finally his friend left 1900 sorrowfully, watched the ship being bombed, a talent disappeared, the legend of 1900 ended.

It’s a classical movie. Although the movie is untrue, it closes to our heart, it strucked me, what about you?1900 once told his only friend, Max :” Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It's a woman too beautiful; it's a voyage too long, a perfume too strong. It's a music I don't know how to make. I could never get off this ship.” I think it’s a symbol of weakness. Poor 1900 is afraid of being hurt. With no doubt, loneliness adversely affects his personality. He fear change his temporary condition, he wants his everyday life remains the same. he fear that if he left the ship everything would out of control. It’s quite lamentable that he could win over the piano master, but he couldn’t win over himself. He lived in their own world, and other people weren’t able to walk in.

In the movie, when Max told others the story of his friend,nobody believed. At last, the moving story only made Max bring back his trumpet. I once believed that when 1900 bombed with the ship, the ending is perfect. But the ordinary end seems more touched. Just as Max said:” Sooner or later all stories ended.” No matter how popular the story was, it would ensed. And 1900 only lives in Max’s memory.

The music, which I feel make the film more perfect ,all by Ennio Morricone, is wonderful. I loved how scenes would just be time after time of 1900 pounding out notes. It reminded me of "Tango" in the sense that you were watching it more for its dancing and cheorography than its storytelling; "The Legend of 1900" was interesting mostly for its musical capabilities.
